Model and actress Brooklyn Decker’s kitchen caught my eye at My Domaine.
This is the “Texas-style farmhouse” in West Austin she shares with tennis-star husband Andy Roddick, and she did all the decorating herself.
The kitchen design is a striking mix of rough, reclaimed wood, country blue cabinets, and marble.
She tells My Domaine:
“Aside from the construction, we did everything ourselves. We refinished and installed all the hardware, refinished the cabinets. We designed everything and tried to do as much of it on our own as we could, save for setting the marble, which would have been very dangerous seven months pregnant—seeing as I have no clue how to do it.”
She was determined to track down a marble called Arabiscato, “which looks like cookies and cream,” and admits she hugged and kissed it when they finally found the perfect slab.
Brooklyn plays Mallory in the hit Netflix series “Grace & Frankie.“
I love that beach house and featured it here:

Oh, I saw this just yesterday! How I’d love to live in Austin, TX! Gotta love a town whose motto is “Keep Austin Weird”! I am a fan of the blue cabinets AND of those dining chairs upholstered in blankets. Maybe I’ll be inspired to do something similar! Have fun with your son, Julia. I am missing mine.
We have the same motto in our town: “Keep Asheville Weird”!
I love the colors and textures and the fact that they did so much work themselves. That marble range hood kinda scares me though. I’m sure it weighs a ton! And thanks for the update on the Grace & Frankie release date. Love that show!
I so agree with you on that marble hood range! I think it’s almost too much marble and sometimes less is better. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful kitchen.
How great are those serape chairs? It’s always fun to read about someone who so clearly enjoys design. Like her sense of humor, too. Have a great weekend, Julia!
Not only does the marble range hood scare me but marble backsplash behind the stove? Just seems like a strange choice of material.
Amazing! Love the Tex-Mex dining room!
I don’t like that particular marble either, especially on the hood fan. The chairs are cute though.
Have to admit not a fan of the marble range hood. Beautiful piece of stone but I would of kept it to the counters and perhaps backsplash. I do love the blue cabinets but there is too much hardware for my taste – looks too busy. The color and mix of wood is very pretty.
Got to admit I love a blue kitchen. I think this is gorgeous! I love the mix with the rustic wood. Interesting that she mixed her hardware – nickel and brass. I just had a new island custom built and picked a blue/green/gray color. I looked at hundreds of color swatches and finally narrowed it down to three samples to try. Picked one. Just had it delivered this week and I love it! Not as dark or bright a blue as this one, though.
No, no, no. Too harsh on the eyes. I thought I would love this because I love blue.
It’s definitely interesting. Brass must be fixing to make a major come back. I’m glad for that – my house was built in 1992 and all the doorknobs and light fixtures are antique brass. If I hang in there a couple more years, we’ll be trendy once again.
Love that kitchen! Anyone know where I can purchase those kitchen wood bar stools?
There are lots of sources given over at My Domaine, so check there!
What the perfect marriage of country and vintage and new and classic and hip. I mean! What an eye that lady’s got!
