Getting the Look(3 of 5)

You can achieve an Arts and Crafts look in your kitchen with small additions or major changes. Mary offers these tips for maximum impact:

Add rich wood trim. Large crown molding, wide wainscoting or a bold plate rail can deliver instant effect.

Install tiles with character. Try a backsplash of subway tiles, either painted with a natural motif or plain and bordered with a series of unique accent tiles. Also look for tiles reminiscent of the prominent artisans of the period: Ernest Batchelder's earth-toned designs from the early 20th century are some of the most coveted ceramic tiles around. You can still buy originals, but reproductions are also widely available.
