Hello my friends! Today I wanted to share with all of you a kitchen redo that my friend Andrea recently featured on her blog, Faded Plains. I fell in love with what Andrea had done and asked her if I could feature her beautiful kitchen on my blog as well...she kindly said yes!
Here is the before...
Nice right? But here's how incredible it looks with some paint, creativity, and new appliances...
*Sigh*
I LOVE all of the touches that Andrea added to give character to her new kitchen...
I think the island that she created by adding beadboard to an old dresser is especially fabulous!!!
I am always lacking a little in inspiration for my kitchen and bathrooms, so I really take note when I see a makeover that gets my wheels turning, if you know what I mean :) I hope you are able to gather a little inspiration from Andrea's kitchen makeover as well!
Andrea also has a beautiful SHOP filled with truly lovely vintage and vintage inspired items for your home!
Lastly, I want to ask if any of you are going to the Farm Chick's Show in June??? I'm going for the first time and am really looking forward to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are having a fab giveaway if you are planning to attend...the winner will get to be Serena's guest on vendor set up day, get in to the show early on Saturday, AND attend the super cool dinner on Saturday night! Sounds good, doesn't it??!
To enter the giveaway, head on over to Serena's blog...and let me know if you are going :)
Have a wonderful weekend!!!

I can see why you like this kitchen so much, it is gorgeous! Love her cabinets before and after. I don't know which one I like more! Love all the detail work on them. Who would of thought that a dresser would make a great island? Genious!
Holy Cow!!! That is an awesome re-do. The before wasn't too bad either. What type of paint did she use for the cabinets etc? The weather is finally turning warmer and I feel that painting itch coming on.
This kitchen is GORGEOUS! Redundant, I know, but it just needs to be said. It's so much more cohesive having light cabinets to blending in appliances to the wall color. Kind of like a cloudy dream. You're right, though, the island is absolutely brilliant! Now, MY wheels are turning.
Thank you for thinking of us and sharing! =]
Love, Katy Noelle
Adding the beadboard to the back of the dresser was inspired...and now so am I!
Debbie
I also love every inch of Andrea's kitchen...as well as her entire home! She has quite the talent for transforming things and spaces into a dreamy country home ~ thanks for sharing it again with us.
Love Andrea...and LOVE her kitchen, too! She did an AMAZING job. Truly an incredible transformation! Maybe I could hire her...IL isn't THAT far away! ;o)
Hope to see you this weekend at the flea!

Andrea really elevated what was already very pretty into something that is now amazing! I am going to print this out for my someday file. Wish I could do the Farm Chicks sale, but I am not planning to go home to my folks in Washington State until later in the summer. Unless I can steal some FF miles from my hubby....hmmmm.....! {To be continued!} xx P&H
I just love all the details over the stove, around the drawer knobs and such. So beautiful!

Her new kitchen has so much more warmth and character, what a transformation, Kathysue
wow thats a great makeover. I'm popping over there for a bit of a squizz. Wish I could go to the Farm Chicks show, I reckon it would be fantastic.
alicia
Hi sweet friend...oh I adore Andrea! That girl always amazes me with her talent!
I so had planned to go to the Farm Chick Sale but realized it is the same weekend we will be in Seattle with Family...once again I will miss this amazing event. Sigh! Have a great day my friend and thanks for sharing Andrea's creative talents....dream kitchen indeed! xoxoxo
Hi Tracey,
What a wonderful job your friend Andrea has done on her kitchen. It looks great. I love the first photo of the dresser and, the island is brilliant. I could certainly cook up a sorm in there. XXXX
Uhmmm... I don't even know where to start!!! My idea of a kitchen is a few vending machines and automatic coffee dispenser. oh wait - that's my dream kitchen. BUT! I might have to revise the dream! I am in absolute LUST over the island - and I ADORE all of the different textures and finishes in Andrea's kitchen!!!
I want SO bad to go to the Farm Chick's show - but it's going to have to stay on my "i'm going there someday" list another year! I'm living vicariously through you - so show me lots of pictures please!!! And have FUN!!!
;-) robelyn
Tracey, I want say a huge Thank you to you....for helping me with my photo size, you can't believe how long I have been trying to figure a way of enlarging them, your instructions were very clear and I changed it with in seconds. Come take a look.
JoAnna
That is one dreamy kitchen! The "before" was really nice, but...wowza...the "after" is really incredible:)
Hi Tracey!! wow! what a kitchen! I love all the subtle texture she incorporated into it...magazine worthy I think for a makeover...
Can't WAIT! to see you in a few weeks!!
You're right, her kitchen was really nice before. But the after is fabulous! I adore her kitchen island, she made a real masterpiece out of that old dresser. I love to be inspired by what others do. Thanks for a look at this. Hugs, Cindy S
Your friend's kitchen is stunning! I love it!!!

Love that kitchen...ooooh how I dream!
wow! funny the kitchen was nice but she made it really special!! i love the old dresser as an island, what a super idea! thank you for sharing it with us, enjoy the weekend! susan
The dresser/island is gorgeous! This kitchen definitely had great bones to start off with but there was too much of that honey color. She really transformed it into something so much more beautiful. :)
Oh this is gorgeous! I love the dresser-turned-island!
Hi Tracey, Wow, that is quite a kitchen! It was already gorgeous, but wow!!!
I am going to the Farm Chicks show, I can't wait! I actually live in Spokane, just a few minutes from where the show is taking place. I've never been before, I am so very excited!
I really enjoy your blog, it's beautiful :).

Andrea's kitchen is sooo gorgeous! Ever since I saw her post, I have been begging my hubby to paint our kitchen. I just LOVE her style and her shop!
xo,
Adrienne
That kitchen turned out beautiful. Yes I am going over to Farm Chicks, it will be my third year. Yeah! Florence
Yeah, Tracey! I am planning on going to The Farm Chicks' Show again this year! (last year was my first) Hopefully, I'll be headed back from a road trip to the Midwest (MN and NE) in time for the show. That's the plan! Oh, it would be so fun to meet you!
Have a glorious day!
: )

I don't know much about the Farm Chicks... I think I need to have it all explained to me! This kitchen is darling though... love a black and white kitchen.
WOW!!! Can't believe that is the same kitchen, it is amazing and so dreamy! Thank you for sharing with us, on my way to say hi.
Take care
Kristin
Oh, yes, that Andrea sure is talented! Loved her kitchen when she posted on it. This gal sure knows how to take an ok kitchen to farmhouse chic!
absolutely wonderful. I might have stayed with the wood version, but then seeing what your friend did, I like it all the more. One must have vision and she certainly does!

It's beautiful ~ I love the fresh, clean and inviting outcome!

So fun to see this kitchen- I have been thinking of doing a beadboard backsplash in our kitchen, so it's fun to actually see one! Thanks!
Such a wonderful make-over....
I'm so inspired with this.. I've been working on my kitchen for quite sometime. This gives me chills knowing mine will look this good someday....(?)
I should be so lucky to create such character.

Hi Tracey
Really nice, wish my kitchen was that big... not enough room to put an island. Maybe if we knock out the wall to the mud porch...hmmm
I will pop over to the Farm Chicks sight, this sounds interesting.
Have a great evening, can't believe how windy it is
Blessings
Rebecca
Wow I love her kitchen. I had not seen it. Maybe there is hope for mine.
Yes! I'm going to The Farm Chick Show for the 3rd year. You will love it. It will take your breath away.
Hope to see you there.
Well, I love her kitchen both ways. She did an amazing job. I'm envious of her big space. Thanks for sharing.
Andrea's kitchen is lovely. I really adore that island!
My daughters and I were planning on going to Farm Chicks, but just today my husband said that he wouldn't be able to get the time off duty, so I have to stay home. BooHoo...
One of us has to be home at all times with Landon, so my girls will be going without me. WHAAA!
I guess there's always next year.
hugs
This is a beautiful kitchen! I am loving all those photos and details...love it all! Thanks for sharing another inspiring and great blog!
Hugs,
Victoria
Beautiful kitchen and beautiful job featuring it on your blog.
Nothing better then the way white makes you feel.
Dore
Beautiful. That island is so nice. I've been dreaming of that refrigerator!
I love the island, though of course I love it all, I had not seen it and there is nothing better than coming across new pics in blogland...
there's not much hope for me in my tiny kitchen to get one like that...but I can dream lol!
nice post
Sarah

Bonjour Tracey,
I just read your wonderful Paris Post and see you have also wonderful weather, it was so gorgeous, isn't it? You lucky one could visit the famous flea marktes. We had not the time to go there....
I like Andreas "new" kitchen very much, the white color makes a wonderful change...
Au revoire and enjoy your weekend

Love to you, my friend!
Anne
Now that is one fantastic makeover! I'm doing a makeover of my kitchen at the moment too, I even have very similar cabinets, so this is really inspiring! Love the changes Andrea made, it looks much fresher and brighter with the white paint and those vintage accents are fantastic. Thanks for sharing, I'm off to check out Andrea's blog now too! K xx
Hi Tracey, I love your friend Andrea's kitchen makeover, it looks gorgeous! I love the colour and that island made from a dresser is amazing! Congrats to Andrea on such a terrific makeover and thanks Tracey for showing it:) I am off to look at Andrea's blog:) Hope you have a lovely weekend ~ Tina xx
Holy cow! That was quite a make-over. Amazing what a little paint can accomplish. Thanks for sharing:)
Dear Tracey
Well sorry I have been absent from blogland and missed some of your lovely posts.. .have a lot of catching up to do... especially your Paris posts...
Now this kitchen makeover really is fabulous.. and look at all that beautiful detailing that was just begging to be white!!! incredible.. and economical reuse of not just the dresser but the good bones of the kitchen... thanks for sharing this one... now off to catch up on the posts I missed.. have a lovely weekend.. and Happy May Day [is already 1st here!].. xxx Julie
Tracey - I left a comment but somehow I ended up as anonymous, just want to make sure you read it - Thanks again for your help.
JoAnna
Dear Tracey,
I've been resisting saying anything but it's going to burst out. "Of ALL the days for you to visit my blog!!!!" I liked my post (If you remember, it's the one about our neighbor, George, the beaver) but it wasn't anything homey or pretty or, oh, I don't know... As Snoopy says, "Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"=] Oh, well! THANK YOU so very super much for stopping by!
Love, Katy Noelle
P.S. I have the photo with those lovely candy cane carnations stuck behind the comment window and it's so lovely and refreshing - Ahhhhhh!!
Always, sincerely ....
P.S. again, Madelief, also, linked to my blog when I had that very same post up! Murphy's law or something, BUT, do you know Madelief? She is from Holland and has a very gracious and beautiful blog. It's more Scandinavian/English style with some super twenties and thirties fashion style thrown in. It's from her that I found "A Heart in Provence". There's a good chance that you know this blog but, if you don't, you absolutely MUST go see it!!!!!! If you already know of it, you'll forgive me for being so insistent because you will completely understand. It's Provence heaven!
Tracey,
Wow, I got behind on your posts. Thank you for posted Andrea's kitchen. So beautiful. I love her blog. I sent your french flea market post to my niece in Paris. She's there studying this semester & shopping for her favorite Auntie. LOL We'll see what she comes home with. Lisa
Oh be still my beating heart...I have a huge case of kitchen envy right now!!!! LOVE IT!
Hope you are having a FAB weekend!
Blessings and Well Wishes!
Denise
simply P E R F E C T !
Utterly charming country kitchen, yet with all the modern appliances. When I redid mine, I went completely contemporary. All stainless steel. But a marble counter top is the most marvelous and striking blue in the center of it all. And I have wicker type wallpaper and island collections on the wall. Still, it's quite a contrast with the rest of my home, which is filled with antiques.
Hey Tracey , thanks for dropping by at my blog, you made me so glad, your sweet words to me thank you thank you, hope I can inspire you in the future.
What a kitchen! it was totally makeover, it was very nice and lovely to look at, many hugs to you / Ingela.
WOW! Beautiful!!
xo
Anette:)
I agree...Andrea's kitchen is totally magazine worthy!!!
Just found your blog! I was in Paris a few weeks before you. Looks like we went to all of the same places. I found a flea market that was not quite as expensive as the huge one.
Penny
I love her kitchen!!
I am going to be painting our kitchen this summer too. Thanks for sharing hers with us. I love it.
I am sorry I have been MIA. I missed your giveaway. I am really so sorry.
I hope you are having a great week. I look forward to talking to you!
Take Care,
Maria
