Back of the restaurant. I love the large table with the rope light installation.

Went to  a new restaurant in Downtown McKinney  named Harvest.  It is a farm-to-table restaurant owned by Rick Wells of Rick’s Chophouse, also in Downtown McKinney.

I am deeply enamored with its design.  It is one of my favorite styles, pairing the rustic with the refined.  Old, original exposed brick, barn wood, industrial light fixtures, filament bulbs, burlap and teal velvet.  They use simple cotton, waffle pattern dish rags for napkins.  They present your check to you rolled up in a wood cube along with a card that can be ripped in half and planted to yield flowers.  A lot of really unique and earthy touches that are in keeping with it’s concept.  You’ll feel warm and toasty the minute you walk in the door.

This may give me some ideas for my own renovation. Hmmm…we’ll see.

I hope you find some inspiration.

Always,

Cindy

Barn wood, industrial light fixture, filament bulbs along with these really fabulous teal velvet tufted wing chairs.

Scaffolding planks, cast iron piping and mason jars with vegetables artfully displayed greet you at the door.

All the finishes work together to create a really warm vibe.

A light fixture that is stunningly simple.

The front porch has these terrific swinging settees with the teal velvet cushions (although they have added tables, great for nice weather dining or drinks outside)

Great little drift wood lamps adorn the 4 top booths.
