When Texas couple Rachel and Harrison Wright were ready to revamp their kitchen in time for holiday entertaining, they knew exactly who to call. Enter designer Claire Zinnecker. Claires classic approach to timeless farmhouse style made for contemporary family living meant she was a no-brainer for Rachel and Harrison. (You might recognize Claires name from our April 2023 issue, where her $15,000 farmhouse graced the cover!) Here are 9 ways Claire added classic country charm to their previously-basic bungalow kitchen. Get More Ideas For Giving Your Kitchen a Holiday Refresh: Becky Luigart-Stayner1. Cheery Green CabinetryTo maximize space in Rachel and Harrisons 165-square-foot kitchen, Claire lined the room with Shaker-style fronted cabinetry, all painted a soft sage green. Along one wall, floor-to-ceiling built-ins not only house the hold-it-all pantry that was at the top of the homeowners wish list, but also the custom-paneled refrigerator and hidden appliance garage.

High-Contrast MarbleStriking three-centimeter-thick slabs of Calacatta Viola marble sit atop the lower cabinetry and the creamy white island. Unlike its subdued cousin Carrara, this spirited Calacatta marble is known for its bold purple veining. Along the perimeter countertops, the stone extends six inches up the walls to act as an eye-catching backsplash.

Collected Copper AccentsThe kitchens crowning moment comes with the scallop-edge vent hood that Rachel had custom made after seeing a similar antique version at auction. To continue the copper thread, Claire mounted a handy kitchen rail for Rachels copper cookware collection. The retro-inspired range and textured Zellige tile add classic cottage charm.

Festive FlourishesCome December, the kitchen is dressed in holiday cheer thanks to shaggy pine garland and wispy wreaths. On the shelves, aged terra-cotta pots are tied up with cranberry red ribbon that complements the kitchen runner. They stay stocked with grab-and-go silverware for at-the-ready holiday entertaining.Get the Look: Grosgrain Cranberry Ribbon: Berwick Offray Grosgain Ribbon on AmazonTerra-Cotta Pot: Deroma Planter by Ace Hardware Becky Luigart-Stayner7. Classic Open ShelvingIn lieu of upper cabinets, Claire hung handsome solid white oak shelves, all 1.75-inches-thick, to give Rachel a place to show off favorite finds, such as her collection of handcrafted ceramic dishware and antique oil paintings.

Easy-Access DrawersDitching traditional shelved lower cabinets in favor of easy-to-use drawers was a no-brainer upgrade for Rachel, who felt her existing cabinetry functioned like an abyss of casserole dishes. Drawers are just so much more practical than cabinets. No more getting on your knees to pull out dishes, says Claire. The unlacquered brass bin pulls and knobs will patina over time.Get the Look: Shaggy Greenery: Real Touch Norfolk Pine Garland by AfloralKitchen Runner: Eve Crimson from Rifle Paper Co. x Loloi Rugs on WayfairDrawer Hardware: Massey Bin Pull and Massey Drawer Pull by RejuvenationBecky Luigart-Stayner9. Handmade Farm TableOn Christmas morning, Rachel and Harrison, with their son, Anders, settle into ladderback chairs around the pine dining table to enjoy their breakfast tradition: the celebratory opening of Christmas crackers, followed by fresh warm monkey bread. Rachel scored the table from a hobbyist woodworker on Facebook Marketplace.Get the Look: Tartan Blanket: Fraser Hunting Blanket by Tartan Blanket Co.Christmas Crackers: Mixed Fun Crackers by MeriMeriRELATED: Beautiful Breakfast Nook Design Ideas for a Stylish Start to Every DayTour More Idea-Filled Country Kitchens:Anna LoganSenior Homes & Style EditorAnna Logan is the Senior Homes & Style Editor at Country Living, where she covers design and decorating trends, home features, and gift guides.
