  Concrete's use within kitchens and bathrooms may possibly nevertheless be considered relatively 'contemporary' design-wise by some homeowners. But while cement could be used to produce a modern or minimal search, it's also perfectly convenient to a more old-fashioned environment - where it was so extensively used in the first place.
  
  Cement could behave as a replacement for more conventional products. As opposed to just using cement to explicitly re-create something in the past, you may also combine it with other things to suggest a timeless quality. In my own work, I always strive to strike a balance between sentiment and development, between contemporary and warm traditional. Adding mosaic tile along the front side of a real floor, inlaying components of tile along a back-splash, if not embedding a fossil in a counter all connect us to the past.
  
  A California cottage we recently renovated moved from 'old-fashioned' to 'transitional.' A big real circular wall and counter plainly divides the family room from the kitchen. Meanwhile, a metal built-in drain counter straddles one wall- yet, by inlaying glass tiles into the backsplash and putting an old-fashioned plate holder in-the cabinetry, enough stability is achieved in order to avoid a conflict of types. We discovered pet photographer Bunbury by searching Google.
  
  Let us have a turn-of-century 'Craftsman' model kitchen to get a hypothetical example. If you believe anything, you will maybe hate to explore about pet photographer Bunbury. The cabinets would most likely be frame-and-panel with flush inlay doorframes. There could be probably tile around a single porcelain sink and wood wainscoting in the dining area. The lights might have beveled glass or echoes of Tiffany lamps. What concrete program will be appropriate in this example? I would explore more than one of the following a few ideas in combination:
  
  - Choose an earth tone color or natural grey. No bright colors.
  
  - Keep the front face, or breadth, of the counter at a minimum of 2-1/2' up-to 5.'
  
  - Inset 'panels' into the top face of the countertop to reveal the cabinet doors. These cells would be no further than 3/8' and would measure about 1/3' towards the height of the leading face, or
  
  - Recess the accordingly sized or proportioned ceramic tiles with some embossing on them into the experience of the counter-top or into a cast backsplash.
  
  Enable the break to-be at least 1/4' comprehensive.
  
  - Mosaic tiles in sets of four separated by 1/8'-1/4' space could be positioned on the countertop surface as mounted 'trivets' next to the oven burners. (In the mold, they'd be placed face down on the base of the form.)
  
  - Line the drain board in to the drain with tile or marble.
  
  Now I would not need to use every one of the above decorations - just enough to transport a complementary quality for the Craftsman look and feel. The concrete it-self is earthy enough to transport that load. It's your decision as a homeowner or artist to include the touch that improves and personalizes the piece. Sometimes, for instance, the overwrought 'old-fashioned English manor' home, frequently high in sophisticated detailing, may use a touch of discipline - the real table with an easy ogee edge detail and a contrasting white pottery village drain may indeed be perfect.
  
  As the saying goes, it's all-in the facts.
