Hi Lisa! As an interior designer that's renovating our own old farmhouse, I have to say your choices are excellent!A combination of the reality of the modern kitchen with the traditional touches which makes it all blend so well together.👍😊
I just love what you're doing to this kitchen. It's nothing like the hundreds of renos I have seen on Instagram. Might be strange but my favourite parts are in the tiny and improvised detail.... that piano trim for the fridge, and the feet you are mimicking for the sink. Such a great and original renovation!
The feet to go under the sink: Paint them to match the cabinet and put a board behind them to close off the under counter. Paint that board black. Makes the feet stand out and makes the cabinet appear to be free standing. Also hides marks that get made by your shoe toes! Put the board a couple of inches back from the front of the cabinet to allow for toe space. Makes washing dishes easier.
Kitchen looks fantastic. We too are a dishwasher free family. Its It's been 15 years now, and honestly I wouldn't change it. I love your table/island. It works perfect in a Victorian kitchen. Also loved hearing baby noises, too precious. Thanks for the update, looking forward to the reveal.
The shelves as you call them above your gas stove is called a "Plate Rack" very popular in the 80s and early 90s. My husband used to build them for lots of people. We have moved several times with my husbands work but I still have the plate racks. Love them! Love your videos.
I have a vintage farmhouse sink like yours. Mine is 6 feet long with drain boards on both sides. It came from a boarding house. I LOVE it! I don't know why modern sinks don't have built-in drainboards. It makes so much sense. I also have blue willow dishes. My kitchen is very vintage. My curtains are vintage aprons.
The feet for the sink is brilliant and I actually prefer the sink like that in the cabinets than your original idea. This way that gorgeous long table is the stand alone piece and that is even more beautiful. That new lighting over the long table is PERFECT! ✝️Jesus bless you
Wow Lisa! The kitchen looks terrific and love the idea for the bracket feet on the sink cabinet. If you love the feet on the hutch just slide a piece of cardboard behind the foot and trace it with a pencil. Perhaps you could store the oils you use in the kitchen in your spice drawers. I do have one suggestion to tie your lights together, switch out the clear shades on the sconces for white ones replacement shades aren’t expensive and it will hide the bulbs.
Love you stove. Wish I had the one I had in the 70s. It was gas and had a griddle in the middle. It was made in the late 50s and we couldn't get parts for it. Enjoy your stove. There will be lots of memories around it.
It's coming together so beautifully. I look forward to the big reveal in January. Also, it's inspiring to see how you've navigated your business during these major life transitions. Great job!!
I love everything you are doing! We just started on our kitchen cabinets and island this week. We have been without a kitchen sink for 3 years now. We wash our dishes in two wash bins. One for washing; one for rinsing. It works just fine.
Love how the kitchen is coming along. The wood looks so nice against the white walls. You could use the little spice cupboard for different teas, I’ve got a set of small wooden drawers in my kitchen for teas.🤗☕️ happy Christmas to you all.
We used beadboard for our backsplash at our farm. It is FABULOUS! Cost-effective and perfect! We also repurposed a very similar sink in our bathroom! You're dong fabulous work!
With the sconces just flip them so they hang down just light your island light. It would be more cohesive and not feel so high up compared to the proportion of the wall space.
Your kitchen looks great and can't wait to see the finished look. We built this year, and it's amazing how we had to make all the decisions before anything was built (placement of light switches, vanity lights, etc). We have light switches in weird places and not everything is perfect, but it's perfect for us! Your kitchen will be perfect for your family! When people feel that it's their place to make comments about our house, I tell them that yes, it does have quirks but we do too- and it's perfect for us!
I had that same trouble with the sink, mine is the same style but has the drying area on both sides. I went with the white bead board as well but my cabinet are the original in my 1890’s house. I went with butcher block for my counters and love the warmth they bring. Love getting to see this come together for you
Gosh...loving how it is all coming together Lisa!! That stove and sink are wonderful! And I love your hutch and light fixtures!! Beautiful...it's all beautiful!! 💓😁 Looking forward to your complete tour video. 😍
WOW! This is absolutely stunning yet so practical. You have managed to bring in so many different and unique parts and make it all flow so beautifully! I have loved watching your journey. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I’m so thrilled for you and can’t wait to see the progress as you reach your vision ❤️
Can't wait to see the finished kitchen. So pretty! Love the vintage stove and sink. I inherited the home I grew up in and I have a mint green wall oven from the fifties. It still works and just needs some cosmetic fixes to the controls. I love it! I plan on renovating the kitchen but that oven stays. Also really like your refrigerator. Lights are pretty too. I found 3 beautiful vintage art deco pendants that I plan to use in the kitchen remodel. Yes, I'm mixing art deco with 50's but I like the eclectic look for my home. Built in 1940 it already is a mix of deco, arts and crafts, and 50's so I might as well go with the flow. I'm removing the vinyl floor and restoring the original hard wood that was under it. Then the entire house except the bathrooms will be original beautiful oak floor. I have learned many things from you about restoration and decorating. Thank you. Your kitchen is going to be so beautiful.
Love it!!!!!!! So excited for you!! I would think about leaving the green on the vent. It’s such a cool personal addition! But either way that’s such a great solution! You’ll be happy to have switched the signature hardware faucet. The weight of their faucets are not my favorite. I have one in my own shower from our renovation and after time if feels wobbly. Beautiful though and I won’t be changing it. My claw foot tub from them is INSANE. I bought a black one and it’s pure heaven! Can’t wait to see more! XxV
Oh girl, your kitchen is going to be beautiful , so beautiful excited for you guys ... You will be back doing your awesome recipes in no time at all , can't wait to see it all put together 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻🤗💕🇺🇸
I love❤️your farmhouse. You know just exactly what you want when you see it, and everything looks great. I love bead board, so I wasn’t sad about that. I love the lights above the island. And of course your stove, and your sink will be wonderful. That is funny about your faucet coming out too far. Who would have thought! You are doing a fine and wonderful job, and you and baby Daniel surely accomplish alot‼️
I love bead board and this looks really great. Love the oak cabinet and the lighting are so beautiful. The Island is great especially for all the cooking you do. Great work.....
Oh my god it is looking amazing! I have been almost as excited as you to see this kitchen come together! Can not wait for the final reveal! Absolutely love your taste and decorating style! xxx
Sounds like your contractor has the patience of a saint. People have no idea how complicated kitchens are. You have gas, electric, water, appliances, cabinets, countertops, windows, doors, etc.
Yes a long time coming... but so worth it...can’t wait for the final reveal...thanks for this thorough. Update..you have all been busy! Happy Christmas to your wonderful family 🙋🏻🇬🇧💝
Everything is looking beautiful! I love the new hanging lamp. But, it would drive me crazy that it isn’t centered in the middle of the window and other sconces. But that’s my OCD!!
This kitchen is turning out amazing, can't wait to see the next reveal. That stove is the bomb, I can't believe you found one in that good of shape even with having to fix a few things. We spend so much of our lives there, it has to be incredibly for us and enjoyable to be in 😄. Looking good!
I just had my kitchen remodeled last summer and I am so happy with mine and I did similar things as you as far as farmhouse sink and your colors that you used. It’s going to be beautiful!
Looking beautiful. You could put rubber bands, cooking twine, measuring tape, tooth picks, birthday cake candles or even nail clippers in your little spice drawers.
Very helpful to see the faucet error, I’ve been tempted to buy the bigger one as I have a double drainboard without a faucet waiting to go up. Now I know :) Thanks 😊
The kitchen is looking fabulous, can't wait to see the finished room, that stove is lovely, so happy that you are going to have your kitchen by Christmas. Happy Christmas to you all
I love the kitchen! I do hope that you absolutely SQUEAL and jump for joy when you get your countertops (put the baby down, maybe :) ), at least in private. A kitchen is such an awesome thing to be able to customize like you want!! You are so composed! Congratulations on the kitchen! Also, thanks for the re-Gram on the sugar scrub!
It’s all coming together beautifully....can’t wait to see the final finish...I’m sure it will be gorgeous and such a pleasure to work in after all the ups and downs...hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄...❄️🥰😘🇦🇺

Love the idea of covering the top of the fridge gap with the scroll work, brilliant!
Love the way your kitchen is coming together. It's going to be gorgeous! You've been so patient through this whole process.

Absolutely beautiful! You simply cannot beat an old gas stove in my opinion. ❤❤ Mom of 4, Grandmother to 7. Definitely a labor of ❤.

Looking gorgeous! Love your solution for filling (yet still ventilating) the fridge gap!
Ah-mazing!!! Cannot wait to see the fully finished kitchen. Thanks for sharing all the details!!! Looking soooo good!
I’m in love with the antique spice cabinet
Love how the kitchen is coming along. The wood looks so nice against the white walls. You could use the little spice cupboard for different teas, I’ve got a set of small wooden drawers in my kitchen for teas.🤗☕️ happy Christmas to you all.
Christine Smith that’s a brilliant idea 😍

That lite fixture is perfection. Riverbend homes has beautiful fixtures
I'm loving it all! We're going to see a 1915 home that's for sale next week, so your house is giving me so much inspiration!
💓"BE ON THE LOOKOUT!"💓✅
The baby cooing and Micah on the job!
This kitchen is making me very happy. Just love all the choice you have made. Excellent work.
The kitchen is so functional for you and can't wait till you put all your pretty things in!!! Looking very vintage and country!!! love it!!!
The trim to fill in the gap over the fridge. Very clever solution! Looks great it's coming together.
With the sconces just flip them so they hang down just light your island light. It would be more cohesive and not feel so high up compared to the proportion of the wall space.
The kitchen is brighter and cozy. Looking forward to seeing the next update.
It’s coming out nicely.. can’t wait to see everything all finished love the stove :)
I like the style cabinets you had made!! The addition of the brass light is really pretty!! Can’t wait to see it all finished
