When Toronto-based interiors stylist Jennifer Hannotte of Hannotte Interiors set out to update her kitchen, she was aiming for a Scandinavian cottage feel. With a limited budget (and some basic materials like plywood), she managed to create the clean rustic vibe she was seeking.
Hannotte, who’s a fan of the raw wood look, covered one wall with birch plywood and applied a coat of mineral oil to bring out the grain. She painted the remaining walls of the kitchen Gallery White from Behr (“White is fresh and modern and, especially in a small kitchen like mine, it helps to unite rather than divide”) and the floors a gray shade from Behr called Ashes. To see more of Hannotte’s work, go to Hannotte Interiors.
Above: Hannotte covered the walls with birch plywood and created shelves with rough pine she picked up at Home Depot.
Above: Hannotte oiled the plywood backsplash with Skydd Oil from Ikea ($4.99) and positioned an Ikea Tral Work Lamp ($24.99) on the countertop. Above: The Breville Barista Express espresso machine is $529.95 from Amazon. Above: The Akurum Base Cabinets with three drawers are from Ikea (though are no longer available). Above: The white Tripod Table is from West Elm for $199. Above: The stools are a Craigslist find; for something similar, try the Alvar Aalto 60 Stool from Hive Modern ($275). Above: The rough wood shelves hold a collection of white dinnerware; one of Hannotte’s children found the wall-mounted skull. Above: The birch Numerar wood block countertop is from Ikea. (For something similar, try the Hammarp countertop). Mathew Birch created the lighting using Sundial Wire ($1.40 per foot). Above: The Lewis Pendant from Schoolhouse Electric offers a similar porcelain socket and is available with a selection of cloth cords. It’s no longer available; for something similar, try the Mercantile Pendant.
Above: The Ringskar Faucet is $159 from Ikea. Above: The industrial bins on top of the refrigerator are a vintage find; Restoration Hardware offers similar Vintage Belgian Deed Boxes from $56.
