    Keep It Classic

    Country kitchen
    Sarah Joy

    There are many affordable country goodies in this rustic kitchen from blogger Sarah Joy. A porcelain apron front sink is a country kitchen must-have. The curtain covered cabinet is 100 percent farmhouse. We love the white beadboard backsplash—it is a countrified and less expensive alternative to white subway tile. If you prefer thicker planks of wood consider shiplap. Another fantastic trick worth stealing is using an old exterior door to conceal the pantry.
