Rustic is not the word you would expect to come to mind when talking of Brooklyn, New York. But that is what you will find in the home of Evan and Oliver Haslegrave, the owners of brooklyn-based design partnership <a href="http://www.home-nyc.com/about/">hOmE</a>. Their kitchen-dining space looks eclectic yet carefully curated - wood tones, while varied, are all in complementary shades. By only 'accenting' with white, the space looks clean, not cluttered and antique touches like signage and sporty objets keep the look interesting instead of 'old'. 

I envy this space because even though its in a busy metropolitan city it has a quietness about it, a reassuring familiarity, a peace. As though one would open the door to the outside and be greeted by an expanse of woodland. It takes you away from the reality of the outside - something EVERY home and { in my opinion } kitchen and dining space should do. 

Bravo Haslegrave brothers, your kitchen space is truly enviable and as much a delight as the <a href="http://www.home-nyc.com/commercial/">spaces you design</a>.
