This modern rustic kitchen feels warm and inviting because of its vintage details and unique touches. When the homeowners of this 1,500-square-foot Toronto condo downsized from their 5,000-square-foot house, they wanted to squeeze all the same elements into their much smaller kitchen. To take on this challenge, they hired designer Jodie Rosen of Jodie Rosen Design. “One of the homeowners is a big cook and entertains family and friends a lot. I was hired on the basis of making everything white, fresh and functional,” she says.
Because of load-bearing concrete walls, she couldn’t make the long and narrow 12-by-25-foot kitchen any larger. So she completely rejigged the room, moving all the main components to maximize the space and allow for an extra-long island with a dining section at one end.
Simple recessed-panel cabinetry in clean, crisp white keeps the room bright, along with white Cambria countertops. Wide-plank engineered wood floors that mimic weathered barnboard, along with a flamed marble slab backsplash and island front, provide texture and pattern with a rustic warmth. Details like pewter hardware, vintage schoolhouse pendant lights and industrial-style stools keep the space from being too sleek. “The beauty of this kitchen is that it’s very modern but doesn’t feel cold thanks to lots of vintage details and unique touches,” Jodie attests. 
Super-bright and fresh space
Large ravine-view windows flood the kitchen with light, resulting in a super-bright and fresh space. The long, narrow island has an extended open section at one end to allow for seating. The flamed marble on the backsplash – created by scorching its surface – was carried onto the front of the island.
