It’s finally here! I am sharing my farmhouse kitchen reveal with you all today!  I wrote about designing our dream kitchen here and now I’m so excited to walk you through the details of my kitchen.

grey and white farmhouse kitchen

Our kitchen has several areas – the “main” kitchen and the “baking” kitchen. Below is the main kitchen.  The island below is countertop height and we love sitting here for dinner.  Many islands require taller bar stools – I like having them at countertop height.  The microwave is in the island.  The microwave drawer slides out (as opposed to the door swinging open).  It took some getting used to but I love it now.  Plus, it kind of hides the microwave (face it – microwaves aren’t pretty!)

Below is our freezer and refrigerator.  We had custom wood panels made to mimic the rest of the kitchen.  We had the two door panels made to look as if it were 4 drawers and 2 doors.

white farmhouse kitchen

The 14 foot ceilings are accentuated by these beautiful beams.  The beams were custom stained by my mom! She did an incredible job.  We kept telling various contractors what we wanted with the stain and no one could understand – so finally just did it ourselves.

We decided to put brick in between the range and the sink – the area we have called “the splash zone”.  I wish we had put brick through the whole kitchen in retrospect – it is more forgiving with spilled food! brick floors in kitchen

I was looking for a pretty French blue/gray color for the islands and eventually settled on Benjamin Moore Silver Song.  I love how it looks with the Carrara marble.gray kitchen with brick floors and farm sink

The island has a ton of storage – below you can see that there are doors below the island on the seating side.  I have seen so many kitchens where they just put panels here and I think about all of that wasted storage space!

farmhouse gray and white kitchen

We absolutely love our double ovens and the French cooktop on our range.  I also love our pot filler!  I had not initially wanted a pot filler, however the night before the plumbing was finished in this wall I had a dream about using a pot filler.  Now I am so glad we have it! marble backsplash

One of the cool things about our kitchen is that we have hidden spice racks next to the range!  Next to the ovens we also have pull outs where we store baking sheets and our pizza peel.

kitchen design

We *love* our apron sinks.  I love how they hold our pots and pans.  I also love how pretty they look with flowers!  These are the Reinhard apron sinks. We liked them better than the Shaw apron sinks because the drain is in the middle and the profile is a little slimmer.  Did I mention they are also a bit cheaper than the Shaw sinks?

I always knew I wanted a bridge faucet.  I loved the profile of this one.  I love how easy it is to clean under the faucet.  We went with polished nickel finishes in the kitchen as we felt it was the most timeless.

farmhouse sink

In this photo, you can see the main kitchen and baking kitchen – we dubbed it “his and hers”.  My husband is the Chef de Cuisine (head chef) and I am the Pâtissier (pastry chef).

At the end of each island we have a little bookcase for our cookbooks.

We can’t share sinks you see – so another sink is in the baking kitchen! Just kidding about not sharing – it’s nice having two sinks.

The marble counters are perfect for rolling out dough.  I had known about all of the bad things about marble counters, but couldn’t care less!  I am in love with them!  I had mentioned in my designing a kitchen post that we chose Carrara marble.  The Calacatta marble is a bit warmer in color, but as you can see we needed a lot of marble and that was way too costly.  So we went with an extra white Carrara marble – same look, a fraction of the cost!French country kitchen

We have a little table on this side of the kitchen – the breakfast nook is what most would call it.    But in reality it is the puzzle table!  We had debated about doing open shelving next to the windows, but decided against it.  I don’t like dusting, plus now I have more room to hang things such as this French Faience platter.French country kitchen

The white cabinets are Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace.  We had to choose a white that would not make the Carrara marble look too grey.  Any whites with a cream undertone made the marble look bad.  The trim in the room is the same as the white cabinets – if your cabinets are a white/cream color, the trim in the room needs to be the same color!

The chandeliers are from Restoration Hardware.  I had debated about pendants vs chandeliers.   There are so many beautiful lights to choose from, but ultimately I decided I liked the rustic and European vibe of these.farmhouse kitchen

Again, brick is in the splash zone.  That appliance is another oven.  A steam oven for this baker!  I still need to make my baguettes but there has been no time!  Ample storage for baking – I receive many baking pans for gifts and now I finally have some places to store them!  Yes, you counted correctly – 3 ovens. Why so many? Well it’s really nice when we host parties and cook for 30-40 people!farmhouse kitchen with white cabinets, marble counter and brick floor

The cabinet hardware on the upper cabinets is different here – I went with an icebox latch.  Since this is its own little corner in the kitchen, I decided I could do some different hardware here.  What rules?  icebox hardware in white kitchen

We went with large pulls for the drawers.  We felt it was easiest to open a drawer if we had a big handle.  Also, you can see where we hid a plug on the side.  We had to have one by the sink for building code and stuck it here as opposed to in the counter.

white kitchen details

I just love this area of the kitchen.  The kitchen sink is bumped out with little furniture feet.  The sink looks out on the country with cows grazing – hence the little Staffordshire cows by the sink.  Charles Faudree would be happy!  Let me tell you also – it was not an easy task building the house so the window sits flush with the countertop!  Another story for another day. farm sink in white kitchen

I hope you enjoyed the tour of our farmhouse kitchen.  We love our kitchen and have been really happy with it.  It is very big but we love hosting parties and it is certainly meant for entertaining!  And guess what?! There’s more. I didn’t even show you the pantry. Update – Now you can check out the pantry, butler’s pantry and coffee bar here.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I am in the process of buying a home and starting a new chapter for myself and my boys. It may not be my dream home but it will do for now ! The one thing that must be redone is the kitchen, currently it’s one wall , about 8.5 feet of cabinets and that’s with a sink and stove, the fridge is somewhere down the hall !!!!
    The more I research the more I am loving the French casual style / I want something completely different from the dark cherry , granite I currently have!
    In the end the kitchen I’m planning on redesigning is literally going to be 8.5 x 14 give or take …. I’ll definitely come back to your site for ideas ! Any ideas would be terrific !

      Laura, I’d suggest making Pinterest and Houzz boards. Just pin pictures you like. Then when you have quite a few, analyze which elements are present in all of the kitchens. That should give you some direction as to color schemes, cabinet types, hardware, etc!

        Thank you ! I pin all my fave photos when the kids go to bed ! I am finding elements I like in individual photos and hoping to make my new kitchen unique.

    Your kitchen is beautiful. My favorite is the marble counters! So lovely. Our next house will have marble too as I’m tired of granite. I love how you designed the area above the refrigerator. We bought a builder’s spec house and he left the area open and wired for a TV (who wants a TV in the kitchen?) and I decorate it, but need to finish it off like you’ve had yours done.

      I have seen some houses with a tv in the kitchen, so your builder is not the only one! Yes, finish it off so you can put some stuff over the fridge!!

    Your kitchen is perfection! I do love the color you chose for the island. We have the same carrara marble backsplash and I can imagine how perfect that color must be. Love the light fixtures, the brick floor, the sink, and all the decorative items you’ve chosen. It’s beautiful!

    Angelina,
    What a fabulous kitchen! The huge islands are large enough for eating areas beyond the work spaces. I love the ogee edges of the marble countertops. And looking out a large window over the sink… perfection.

      Judith, thank you very much! Ah, you noticed my marble edges! Yes, we did two different types – ogee on the island and straight on the rest of the kitchen

    This is a true dream kitchen! There are so many great things you selected and the space is fantastic. Love the brick flooring in the work areas- so smart! Wood is just not practical. That is one fantastic range you have and of course the window at the sink is wonderful. I like how the beams look- great job. You had a great vision with this and pulled it together very nicely!

    Beautifully done in ever aspect right down to the location of your outlets and would ‘knock the socks off’ many of the ones featured on Houzz. That said; would you mind sharing the name/model of the fridge you chose? Thank you! -Brenda-

      Thank you for your kind words! I don’t know the exact model # of the fridge, however the fridge is a Sub-Zero and is from their integrated line – there are a ton of different sizes you can choose from. We love our fridge. They are more expensive then other fridges, but honestly it keeps our produce fresher for way longer than any other fridge!

    This is beautiful. We just finished our coastal kitchen so I was interested in your details. We also did the full-size frig and full-size freezer. Don’t you love all that space? I like how you did the faux front panels though. Our hardware is also similar to yours. I think the wall behind the stove top is gorgeous too. You are way ahead of me when it comes to styling the kitchen. I haven’t done much of that yet but I will be taking some pointers here. 😀
