It's the heart of the home……the kitchen!

 Welcome to our French Country Kitchen!

I am not sure about you all, but our family spends a lot of time in the kitchen.  We share meals here, the kids do homework, and we socialize here.  There is even an old TV in the cabinet above the wall oven unit.  I probably have it on way too much.  I kind of like the background noise.

 

french_country_kitchen_tour

I absolutely love to cook!!!  Since we got married 23 years ago, I've enjoyed trying new recipes and collecting cookbooks.  Most of the new creative recipes are tried out during the summer when things are at a bit slower pace.  During the school year it is usually the tried and true with the slow cooker roaring to life many nights!  My daughter (14) loves to cook.  She has become great at the prep work and sometimes cooking on her own.  Hope she continues to enjoy that.  My son (16) has taken a liking to running the grill!!!  Now if they'd just enjoy doing the dishes, I'd be set!!!

french_country_kitchen_tour

We built our home and moved in 2004.  The kitchen design and decorating was my baby!  The perimeter cabinets are distressed pine and the large center island is painted and distressed.  We opted for a Wood-Mode factory finish.  The other cabinetry in the house was made by a local cabinet-maker.

french_country_kitchen_tour

The house-plans originally had the island with cabinets going all around it, but I envisioned it a bit differently.  I wanted to be able to fit four counter height stools around the counter.  This is where the kids do their homework, eat breakfast and occasionally dinner.  It always ends up as the hang-out area for when we entertain.  Everyone usually ends up in here! 

We also used two different granite colors.  The lighter definitely shows less in terms of fingerprints!!!  I love granite.  So easy to keep clean with a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle with 1/2 water and 1/2 rubbing alcohol.

french_country_kitchen

The opposite wall is a wet bar with a wine and Capri Sun cooler.  This was the only area that I wanted glass cabinets.  It's a combination of pretty display and my decorative glassware.

french_country_kitchen_tour

The French Country scene over the range was custom painted and fired by a local artist.  I had seen something similar in a Traditional Home magazine and fell absolutely head over heels in love with it!  It was torn out and placed in my decorating file.  All of our names are strategically placed throughout the painting.

french_country_kitchen_tour

I was so nervous to cook with a gas range!  Our previous home had a smooth top electric range.  I love cooking with gas!!!

2013_kitchen_tour7

This part of the kitchen looks out into the backyard.  The back porch is screened so we can now crank open the windows and bring the outdoors in!  The breakfast area walls are finished with Cyprus paneling and a pickled wash was applied.  The ceilings are stained pine planks.  Our last kitchen was all  stark white.  I was over that.  I wanted warm and lived in.  

french_country_kitchen_tour

One of my favorite rugs in the house was this one.  It is an antique and slightly worn in spots.  I bought it off  EBay for $100!!!  It was my first EBay rug purchased.  I was scared to death that it would have bugs and stink!  It was great!  I did vacuum it and Febreeze it before bringing it in the house!

french_country_kitchen_tour

I still would like to put a low bookcase at this end of the room for my cookbooks.  I've been hunting for that perfect thrift store on Craig's List item to paint!

french_country_kitchen_tour

I've been collecting tole trays for many years!  Most of them I have purchased through EBay.

french_country_kitchen_tour

Back before the kids came along and became so active in sports, we used to go to the NC mountains every fall for a weekend get-away in a bed & breakfast.  We loved trying different towns and inns.  We purchased this on one trip and crammed it in the back of my Ford Explorer.  It has been YEARS since a trip like that!  This is one of my favorite pieces in the house.  It will never meet a paintbrush as long as I own it.

french_country_kitchen_tour

I'm still working on the “Bessie” area.  I purchased a thrift store frame that I think I'm going to a paint finish on and hang it over her.  Did that make sense???  I purchased the cow from Finch & Co. You can find them through Pamela's site/blog  From My Front Porch to Yours.  

Thank you so much for visiting Our Southern Home.  Ways to follow are listed below and in the sidebar.  I'd love to have you here!  If you have any questions about items not listed, please contact me.  I'll help you if I can.

    Christy – I just discovered your blog and absolutely love your kitchen. I have total “island” envy!! My kitchen is average size, but the shape prevents an island (I had the kitchen re-done three years ago and the contractor could not figure out how to fit one in – sniff!). Love your choices and the backsplash is amazing! So enjoyed this post!

      Diane, you are so sweet!!!! Thanks so much! Our last house did not have an island, and when we built I so wanted one! It is great for the kids. Maybe you could add a small butcher blog in the kitchen. It’s not an island, but they are so wonderful for veggie prep work, display and party serving. My sister in law has one and it is fabulous and small! I hope you have had a lovely weekend! 🙂

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
