Saskatchewan-Based Mid-Century Farmhouse

While the phrase “something old, something new” is typically a tradition observed by brides, it's also a concept that applies to the home, too. Whether it’s adding your mother’s prized vase to the living room, or completely redecorating a space with a collection of the family’s furniture, the true value is the emotional connection their inclusion means to the homeowner.

For Kelsey Grose, a Saskatchewan-based Principal Designer and Owner of Farmer's Daughter Interiors, renovating her grandmother’s Canadian farmhouse meant preserving smaller qualities that didn’t necessarily scream farmhouse yet could capture her grandmother’s presence, and melding them with mid-century design elements that reflect her new, moody space.

In the kitchen, two “something old” design-musts for Kelsey were the more detailed cabinet door profiles and the Native Trails’ concrete apron-front farmhouse sink (nativetrailshome.com). The slate finish complements the space’s cool palette and overall aesthetic while the double-bowl design and durability combine form with function. Juxtaposing “something new” elements include the gray-beige random match tile backsplash and a modern light fixture.
