Victorian Farmhouse Kitchen

    Our Kitchen!
    You might remember the before, from the real estate listing:
     Yellow walls, red floor, plain cabinets in need of work. But still cozy I thought!
     And now...
    I really wanted a Victorian Farmhouse sort of feel... whatever that means!
    The makeover involved getting the cabinets sprayed professionally and adding molding and some glass doors, adding a backsplash, changing the countertop and sink, new lighting, painting walls and floors, new fridge and dishwasher (new stove to follow someday, but the old one is fine for now!)
    We had a contractor do almost everything.
     The island was made by a carpenter I found on Kijiji, the top is maple and the corbels and furniture legs were from Home Depot. I just showed him a picture of what I wanted and he delivered it to our door!

     Already well-loved oven mitts.
     I really don't think you can go wrong with a white subway tile backsplash. It is so affordable, classic, and clean looking.
     I think I mentioned before both chandeliers are Home Depot, they deliver in Canada to your door for free.
     Walls are Ballet White by Benjamin Moore, floors are Grey Mist, and cabinets and trim are White Dove, also Benjamin Moore. White Dove was recommended by a friend and I love it! I wasn't sure about how to match the white with grey undertones of the countertop, but it seems to work well. I didn't want to pick a grey white because I still wanted it to feel warm.
     It is still a little sparse, but I know I will find the right things in time.

     I love that there is room to gather, prepare, and serve.
     I love the design in the transom window.

     And of course I still love farmhouse sinks with skirts!
