Our casual Tuscan style kitchen is in need of some serious help. The ceiling is 10' high and even though the cabinets are 8' in height the space above the tiled arch seems to be lacking.
With the help of an iron topper placed above the tiled arch, the long expansive space is broken by scrolls of wrought iron. The arch no longer floats in mid air. The topper is the crowning touch to tie the arch and the two large furniture pieces into one attractive unit.
The height and the size of the back splash overwhelms the space. The arched iron grille breaks up the large space and the scrolled iron compliments both the arched topper above and the iron grille work in the kitchen cabinet doors.

French Country Style Kitchens
The French Country kitchen is designed as the home's gathering place. The lay out is casual and large enough to accommodate several cooks. The kitchen atmosphere is one that finds family and guests at ease and wanting to join in the cooking. Colors are equally comforting with inspiration drawn from nature. Buttery yellows and golds, rich reds, cranberry and burgundy, grass and hunter greens and oceanic blues are often chosen to enhance neutral rusts and creams.
Open shelving is a trademark of French Country style kitchens. Fresh vegetables and fruit, wine, cook ware, serve ware and dinnerware are kept in reach and as a result become decorative accessories.
The French look to the countryside when decorating their country homes. Farm life is often a decorative theme with sheep, cows, pigs and roosters as the subject of figurines, hand painted dinnerware and framed art.

French kitchen cabinetry and furniture is rustic with ornate carvings, prominent corbels and lavish molding details. Dark woods are often mixed with light-colored woods.
French country cabinets may have no doors and are often large pieces of rustic designed furniture.
Finishes are worn and French Country kitchen furniture is frequently painted with designs.

Consider a variety of textures in your kitchen decorating theme. Metal towel and wine racks, iron pot hangers and wood furniture are complimented by natural greenery and fruit.
