Home Comforts | Country Chic

Exuding all the warmth and homeliness of a farmhouse country kitchen, Cindi’s space oozes rustic whimsy while being perfectly appointed for the 21st century modern cook. Neutral tones and a cool pastel colour palette elevate the house, specifically chosen to blend with nature - inviting the property’s surrounding landscape inside. Bursting with texture, the room feels clean, yet intimate and grounded with antique brass handles accenting timber paneling throughout the home. From benchtops to door profiles and strategic decor, earthy materials and natural finishes weave effortlessly between rooms, providing continuity while still allowing each space to maintain its own unique style.

As you stroll around the house warm tones ricochet from room to room, inviting you to feel at ease. Timber accents make an encore appearance, featuring in vanities, wardrobes and custom cabinetry nooks which have been snugly fixed around the fireplace. Functionality was key in this design, so each detail was carefully planned out to ensure the right balance between aesthetic and practicality.

It may have just been renovated, but this house feels lived in - it feels like home. Which is exactly the vibe Cindi was looking for in their beloved family abode.

“We’ve worked together with Wood Wizards Kitchens on multiple cabinetry projects and knew we were in safe hands when it came to renovating our country property. We wanted a farmhouse country style kitchen with a natural feel that blended in with the outdoors. The thing I like most about working with Jordan as a kitchen designer is that he will listen and take on board an overall vision, and then help to work out the functionality and detail to get the right balance between de-sign and practicality. For example, recommending drawers (instead of cupboards) and getting the perfect height and position for cooking with my utensils and condiments, to moving the cooktop off the island bench to make more room for preparing meals for our busy family. The addition of a Vgroove door profile and bronze handles felt busy at first, but Jordan convinced me it was the right balance to get the look I wanted. I love the open shelving above and next to my fridge and Hamp-tons style display cabinet for easy access to recipe books, wine and glassware. We also renovated our laundry, wall unit, vanities, wardrobes and other storage areas, where we carried similar finish-es and warm colours to create continuity throughout. Based on our priorities, Jordan helped us to navigate where to spend our budget, and importantly where to save money. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the attention to detail, quality product and expertise that the Wood Wizards team provides. Thank you for another superb job!”
