French Country Cottage Kitchen

We love our 1940's vintage kitchen as it is now- but not so much how it was when it started out. We kept the original cupboards and character while updating it~ the ceiling fan became 2 vintage chandeliers, doors came off a couple of cupboard for open shelving,we added beadboard and beams to the ceiling, etc~ Did I mention that this kitchen was remodeled on a big time budget? Yep, it was.

Lots of befores and afters in my post at my blog :

Really lovely, thank goodness you didn't gut the room, it would not have had the same effect! It really is perfect, wonderful job!

I didn't know the look I loved so much was mostly French Country....with other beautiful things thrown in....beautiful to me. Whatever happened to Christopher Lowell, Kitty Bartholemew etc. on HGTV? A lot of what's 'in' now is scaled down, plain without any real beauty.

This is so pretty! This is similar to our kitchen at our home in the country and I'm in the process of getting ideas for there; can you tell me what kind of counter tops you used?
