A FARMHOUSE KITCHEN UPDATED AND OPENED UP

I found a wonderful kitchen to share with you today.
It's in a renovated farmhouse and I think you'll love the charming details 
that give it the farmhouse feeling.

The first thing I noticed was the beautiful shelf above the stove that creates the 
feeling of a mantel and is a focal point for the kitchen. 
And the warm wood is a wonderful contrast to the creamy white cabinets.

I love using plates for wall decor and the ones used here fit in perfectly
with the style of the kitchen.

The furniture detail at the base of the cabinets adds a lot of charm as well as the 
oiled rubbed bronze cup pulls on the drawers.
The island has two levels and is the same warm wood as the shelf over the stove.
Did you notice that there are two different countertop materials used on the island?.
I really like those bar stools too.

The walls are a beautiful shade of blue ~ perfect for a country kitchen.

The corner shown below has a pantry and little cubby for the microwave.
I think the microwave might be a little inconvenient if you use it a lot but it is
 kind of nice that it's tucked out of the way.

The owners were able to open up the kitchen to the family room by using glass
on both sides of the upper cabinets and a pretty arch above the sink.

There is so much wonderful craftsmanship throughout every corner.

I think I would feel very at home in this kitchen.
How about you ~ do you like it?

    Such wonderful touches in this kitchen. I love how the chairs face each other at the island -- much better for conversation. I don't understand why new kitchens put microwaves below the counters. I find it awkward in my kids' kitchen and tempting for the little children.

    Very charming kitchen ... The warmth of materials used create a very approachable kitchen space. Love all the thought out touches, especially love the lighting in the upper cabinets that add to the cozy appeal.

    Beautiful!

    I love the color and the glass doors of the cabinets. I have a long list of wishes, but one is to change our cabinet doors to windows.

    I would be completely at home in this kitchen! I really like the area above the sink, and the glass doors. I can see myself baking already there! Have a great week. Diane

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
