OMG! Chrissy, it's gorgeous! I knew it would be the most charming French kitchen ever! You have done a beautiful job of putting all your things together...think of how much fun it's going to be changing out those shelves! And the white cabinet...LOVE IT! and need I say anything about the table and bench! I can hardly wait to see the other side. I really love that you know your style and stay true to it with all you do.
I'm so happy for you that you finally got your dream kitchen. :)
It looks wonderful, Chrissy, especially that painted brick wall. Perhaps you can tell us what you did to it, color of paint and process.
Thanks for a look!

I can see why you are excited to share your dream kitchen- it is so beautiful! I love the brick wall, the floors and the table.
Look forward to seeing the rest.

So, so charming! I love everything! xo
Dear Chrissy-
Oh boy where to start? It looks incredible!! What do I love about it? I love the painted light brick wall, the contast between the dark exposed ceiling beams with the white and the floor.. all complimented so nicely with your little stylish touches. The table and sideboard look perfect in there! You need to find a way to get those first 2 photos published.. really.. they look like they need to belong in a decor mag! :) There is something that speaks very urban European to me in your new kitchen look.. urban yet with the charm of the French countryside. Compliments to you and your husband on an excellent redo! I look forward to seeing more my friend! Enjoy your new kitchen.. it looks wonderful!

Hey Chrissy! I just saw your comment... I didn't realize you posted about your kitchen, or I would have been over here on the spot! You want to know what I think, huh... well, I think IT'S GORGEOUS... of course!!! Chrissy, it turned out so beautiful! You must be on cloud nine! I love the exposed brick painted out white... great texture! The shelving, island, and all of your beautiful vintage finds... it's all so gorgeous, warm, and inviting. You done good, girl!! Can't wait to see part two... I'm dying to see your new cabinets and the fab countertop!
Enjoy the rest of your week, my friend, and enjoy your new dream kitchen!

Chrissy!!
I can't tell you how many times I've been out tiquin' and thought to myself as I picked up some interesting but rustic piece "This looks like Chrissy to me"
My mom had a stroke and nearly died so I took a break from blogging. All is well for the moment...sheesh you know you're getting old when you start to think like that huh?
Anyhoo glad to be back. And I'm so glad you're still here making beautiful! *winks* Vanna
Chrissy I'm so excited for you. It looks great so far. I used to have a dream kitchen....20 yrs ago....haha
what a change and so fast. of course, maybe not for you. your kitchen is a dream. yes,you do have a great man here on this earth. Bestest,Denise can't wait to see that counter top.
I was out this morning roaming all over blogland with no map or guide! Sometimes, I end up in delightful places - like The Apothecary Shop!
Your blog is lovely and your kitchen makeover is absolutely delicious!

So much fun running through your kitchen, looking at this, then that. I love how you scattered photographs around, used the old letter and wrapped twine around your white pitcher. I loved much more but those stood out to me. Thanks for allowing the tour!
Oh my word girl...it is glorious!!!! It looks like something out of a magazine,,,you just can't quit staring at it...so soothing and soooooo pretty...and I love the old license plate from the shed! I know you are happy especially to have so much made by hubby..that table is just to dream for!!!! Loved my visit girl...I hope you are having a great year so far...love ya sis...Picket
Wow! I've been away for a couple of weeks and I missed out on the progress! Everything looks amazing! Can't wait to see more!
