Good morning! As promised, I did manage to take a few pictures of my newly updated kitchen. This was a minor redo and not a complete makeover, here's what we did...my husband installed butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink and new faucet, and trim where the old backsplash used to be...we also painted the walls to match the family room and I painted the island white...
You know how much I love white, but I wanted to be sure that the kitchen felt warm and inviting, and I feel that the wood countertops really helped to balance the white and do that! I have to mention too, that my inspiration for choosing the butcher block countertops was my friend Jen and her beautiful kitchen makeover!
The sink skirt is made of vintage mangle cloth that my friend Maria kindly shared with me and my mom was generous enough to sew for me.
{The grain sack runner, French jars and crate, gorgeous aprons, and French bottle carrier are all from Dreamy Whites...Maria is a great source for all things French :)) }
I still have work to do in here to get it to look how I envision, but I wanted to at least share some pictures with you!
I wish all of you a wonderful, blessed Easter!!!

Just this morning I went to price out a butcher block countertop and white farmhouse sink, so when I clicked into here, I was so excited to discover your gorgeous makeover using those same two elements! Now I just love the look even more seeing it in your beautiful kitchen. The trim embellishment above your sink and dreamy color on your walls are some more things that caught my eye, it's so hard not to want to copy your style Tracey! xo ~Lili

can we see the before photo please, so that we can see the transformation.
You are right, that Jennifers kitchen is amazing.
I would love to put butcher block on my counter top. The kitchen looks fresh, simple and amazing. Can you share where you purchased the butcher block?

Tracey, I love
your re-do! I've
thought of replacing
our granite counter
tops with butcher
block....but wonder
how easy they are
to keep up? I have
the dark green granite
and it is a PAIN; shows
every little thing!
Love how you skirted
the farm sink, too!
Happy Easter,
xx Suzanne
Sooooo pretty. LOVE the wood countertops... And, it does look warm and cozy.... AND bright and breezy.
Warm blessings,

Your kitchen looks so warm and inviting. Reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen. Sure miss the good "ole" days.
Linda
How lovely! Especially the linen sink skirt. I've always wanted butcher block countertops, lucky you :)
Tracey, it looks lovely! Wood + white= can't go wrong!!
It looks amazing Tracey! I am itching to redo our kitchen and yours serves as great inspiration to get me motivated :)
absolutely gorgeous. i love the pretty pops of color with your beautiful white.
this so makes me want to paint all my wood cabinets!
Beautiful!
Gorgeous kitchen Tracey...I just love it!
I'm in love - I'm in love - I'm in love, Tracey! What a beautiful room! It's light and bright, yet warm and cozy with the combination of wood tones. I'm saving this post for future ideas for my own kitchen...like the farmhouse sink, sink skirt, and your mix of textiles! Great job, sweetie! ♥

Thank you!
Super cute Tracey. Can't imagine what else you could possibly do to make it any better! Great vintage cart too. Love it all! xo
GORGEOUS. I love looking at your pictures and being inspired. Everything you do is beautiful!
Beautiful kitchen. I noticed you don't have an exhaust fan over your stove, where you've put your microwave. Do you find that you don't need one? I ask because I put in a fan above my stove, but I have no room for my microwave and I could put mine above like yours.
Ta Sammy
Your kitchen is beautiful. Jen Rizzo was inspiration for my kitchen redo. It's still in progress but coming along nicely. Your photos are fabulous. Thanks for all your inspiration.
What a lovely kitchen!I love your home. You have a true talant for putting things together.
All the best
Mari
