Summer Home Tour- The Kitchen
Welcome to my summer home tour! I’m always excited to share seasonal home tours with you! And this SUMMER tour is especially fun for me, because all of my hydrangeas were blooming just in time to use in every room. So, be warned, flower overload ahead 🙂
Just a few quick details about the kitchen, just in case you are new here…
(I’ll share all kitchen sources at the bottom of this post.)
We remodeled our kitchen in 2012, with custom cabinets and butcher block counters. We added a farm sink and a designed & built a reclaimed wood venthood. The layout of the kitchen didn’t change…we just updated storage and made it to fit our farmhouse style, using architectural elements. The only update we still need to do is replace the popcorn ceiling.
Our kitchen is about 13 ft wide and 15 ft long…so, it’s not a huge space. However, we have plenty of room to walk around the island, which is 33″ x 66″. It really works well for our family, and we spend a great deal of time cooking and baking together in the kitchen. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a workable space without a lot of square footage. It’s just proof, you can make small spaces beautiful and user friendly.
This side of the kitchen has a built in hutch, that we wanted to appear as a free standing piece of furniture. I wanted a few open shelves for displaying my favorite pieces. We put chicken wire in the doors, to give a little rustic charm. The paint is a custom mix of homemade chalk paint in a light grey.
I hung a few hydrangeas from the French crate over the island. You can see how I did a variation of the flower canopy for this SUMMER ENTERTAINING POST HERE.
I painted our IKEA butcher block counter tops…you can read about the PROCESS HERE.
Shannon (my husband) is very “handy”, if you haven’t figured that out yet 🙂 He built our custom vent hood and the breakfast nook table. The chairs are just collected over the years.

tHE VINTAGE DOOR IN YOUR KITCHEN IS DROOL WORTHY. i LOVE OLD DOORS. i USED SEVERAL TO MAKE A WALL OF DOORS THAT SERVE AS MY TINY FARMHOUSE’S BEDROOM CLOSET. i ALSO LIKE YOUR STOVE HOOD. i DID SOMETHING SIMILAR OUT OF OLD BARN WOOD ABOVE MY STOVE ALSO. YOUR HOME IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, SO PEACEFUL AND INVITING.
I totally agree with your idea of doing research in renovating your home. Now here’s what I can suggest, DIY became so popular nowadays, lots of influencers and content creator spread information about DIY. Home renovations can be so costly, but with proper research and following how others done it, it should not be that difficult.decor
