Farmhouse kitchen not white
Hi there friends. Today I am sharing just a few freshen uppers I recently changed up in our kitchen. I don’t know what to call the style anymore. Farmhouse, country, rustic, french country, etc. All I know is it is NOT white like we typically see and it never will be white.
We had a white kitchen back when we lived in South Florida. I never cared for it. White cabinets, and white everywhere just doesn’t appeal to me personally. Although, I have seen some stunning white kitchens, but too many start looking the same to me.
A few years back when we renovated our kitchen on a budget HERE, the hood is something I always wanted as the focal point. I imagined some sort of wreath but never quite found the right one. I didn’t want frilly or floral. Of course there is the typical boxwoods, but I didn’t want that either. I happened to be on Amazon and this popped up. It was perfect.
Lemons in the kitchen always brighten things up.
I picked up the mini lemon tree at Walmart. I painted the terracotta red and stenciled it, of course HA!
It’s a very in between time of decorating. It’s still winter, but getting closer to Spring. I added some Dollar tree flower seed packs and mini terracotta pots that I had left over after I made my recent Spring wreath HERE.
I need some new Spring dish towels. I think I will head to HomeGoods and see what cute ones they have. For now, I put my napkins there. Speaking of napkins, I no longer have my napkin valances up.
I decided to be a big kid now and actually buy new valances.
They really are an upgrade and make the kitchen feel more grown up. Don’t get me wrong, I love the napkins and will probably change them back again someday. But for now, I see these as a long term stay awhile.
My old re-purposed window still is hung proudly after hmmmm…7 years now. I am not sure but it was a project I really enjoyed and still admire. You can find my re-purposed window idea HERE.
They are double lined and very good quality. I was taking a chance simply buying them online through Amazon. I figured I could always return them quickly if they didn’t work out. Even Mike likes them so that is always a win!
So that’s that for the kitchen in between season refresher. It was nice to actually clean the windows and dust the shelves while hanging the new curtains. Once I am up there on the counter, I figure I may as well get the job done. This is the kitchenette area, in which the window treatments are a table cloth! Yes you read that right. You can see more tablecloth window treatment ideas HERE. And our DIY faux beam project HERE.
I think it’s time soon to take the Winterberry dishes down from our DIY farmhouse industrial shelf. I will probably add my vintage scales back on there and some other odds and ends from our collections over the years.
I can’t forget to include our DIY farmhouse barn door.

I love your new valences. I am so glad that there are others out there who are tired of the white on white on white theme.
I suppose that is why you are here:) No white
With beautiful cabinets like you have, who wants white! The wood makes it feel much warmer! I think I’ll go clean and polish mine now!!
HAHAHAHA..yes I just did mine a few weeks ago.
Your corner sink has been my inspiration for mine. Although I havent changed anything yet.
Well I am happy to hear that Katie. Enjoy
Complimenti tutto bellissimo mi piace tanto il porta rotolo dietro al lavandino , dove lo hai preso? anche quello su Amazon? grazie
That is an original oldie. They only sell one bad knock off of it on Amazon and I would not recommend it. Thanks for your visit and kind words.
Love your kitchen, especially the shelf in front of the window. Have to ask my husband to do that!
Hi Kathleen! Yes your hubby can do it. I needed a place to showcase some pretties, and this was the perfect spot.
It looks good, Debbie. Kind of a combo-bit of farmhouse but I also see lots of French Country there, too. Lovely and I love the curtains! Hugs- Diana
Thank you Diana very much. xo
I think your kitchen style is more French Country. Very cute!
Thanks LS..yes but with the farmhouse elements incorporated. I guess it’s a mix HA!
Your kitchen is amazing. Farmhouse eclectic.
I’m a very eclectic decorator.
Good job!
Looks great!
