Farmhouse Kitchen TOUR | Answering YOUR questions!

[@theelliotthomestead]

Thanks for joining us in our kitchen today, friends! I'd love to hear how your cultivating YOUR space to be somewhere you love spending time in...

[@jesskan9828]

I love my kitchen but I really want a new dining table. Not new though. French country with ladderback chairs. I have been looking for years.

[@juliecarns]

Shaye, Your inviting kitchen is a masterpiece! Do you use the marble board for cutting or just serving? Thanks for sharing your beautiful heart of the home here. Julie 🌷

[@justpatty7328]

Absolutely stunning kitchen design- bravo! I love it! I love the stove and floors, perfection right there. I have a galley kitchen, hard to design around that. I did remodel 10 years back, but I'm thinking of tearing out walls and starting new. I'm not giving up on my dreams for my kitchen. It is on my "someday list".

[@maeowelvsulotz]

In my kitchen there is a part of the ceiling where the beam comes down a couple inches, dividing the kitchen in half. It's plastered over and made to look like the rest of the ceiling, but one project I would love to do is to source a reclaimed wooden beam that I can have carved out to fit perfectly over the existing beam. I think it would add a lot of charm to the kitchen and give it an english cottage vibe!

[@rachelc.7152]

Shaye it has been such a joy watching your kitchen "bloom" over the years. You and Stu have done an amazing job! I love all the little details; you have an incredible eye. That blue and white ice box if fab!

[@sandrahughes9050]

I look at all my friends highly polished fitted kitchens which they change every few years to update, and then I look at my own rustic country kitchen which I only add to, to make it more authentic, and which I have had for 30 years, and I feel the warmth of my space. You did the right thing, Shaye, it is fabulous.

[@raysumpter3976]

I strongly agree with you. This kitchen is a place I would love to spend time . Homey is the only word I can think of. But that word does not do it justice.

[@artedellavita7789]

Same girl same 🌷

[@violetly_]

Same!!! My parent’s kitchen looks so sterile and professional and modern, it doesn’t feel like a place I’d like to cook in. A warm, cozy kitchen is so welcoming and I’m so jealous of what she did with this space. Absolutely amazing!

[@cottagemommy5116]

My kitchen is very much mine too. I'm crazy about old Irish cottages and I'm building my house to look like one. I used antique free standing cabinets that I'd collected over the years in place of regular counter/cabinets and purchased a beautiful wood cookstove from Ireland. Like you- it was a priority that I will never regret. I also purchased a lovely antique metal sink cabinet with the old enamel sink. Some things are worth saving for and investing in. I love my kitchen. It has exactly the feel I was going for and you wouldn't find another like it in the world. 😊

[@justpatty7328]

Sounds absolutely dreamy to me. I'm glad your dream came true. I wish in the comments section we could post photos. I so would enjoy seeing your kitchen.

[@cottagemommy5116]

@@justpatty7328 That would be fun, wouldn't it? Thank you!

[@teresacarle294]

@@justpatty7328 👀Wish we could see pics📷. ☘It does sound charming. Adore old world cottage kitchens with mismatched hutches, chests & dish racks mounted to the wall serving as storage. Always thought I'd rather move into a space that had an absolute😝wreck of kitchen I could feel comfy taking back in history vs some 🚫 state of the art showroom that I would feel ever beholden to keep for resale😞 value. 💟Would love a Downton Abbey size space to fit my maximalista pot, bakeware, dish & glass obsession🍚. An industrial size country estate kitchen that operates restaurant style belowstairs with all those various work stations, a behemoth monster of a cooker tucked in an old hearth, pot & plate racks, butler's pantry, larder, plenty of pine mixed with painted furniture that looks like it was slowly & lovingly built & curated over the centuries. 😉Could comfortably while away the hours⏰ in the Elliott's petite Homestead kitchen. 🗼Parisienne elegance mixed w/rustic dinge is a brilliant aesthetic. A❄Cold❄ Room sounds utterly delicious in ☀️sunny SoCal🌡where root veggies & fruit rot fast sitting out in homes without central air😲.

[@curriesis3]

Oh imagine my joy when your kitchen video was the very first on my list this morning!!! I have LOVED your kitchen as you have painstakingly transformed it into your own. I am a girl who would stop videos just to study your kitchen in awe and excitement, as you were filming something. Thank you Stu for panning extra slow while filming. It makes for nice focus when I need to stop, study, admire, and glean from the hard work and heart that has been poured into this room. The kitchen door!!! AND THAT RANGE!!!!! It's like the star of the room. Your wallpaper is just perfect for the space, and I almost died when I saw it originally!!! You've changed your "coffee station" table. I can't wait to watch the whole thing. I stopped for a minute to get this to you to thank you for this. Aaaaand, to thank you for sharing your lives with us. This 55 year old wife, mother, and Memere so enjoys following your journey. Hugs to you all from Maine.

[@oliviatheresa]

I love to see houses where people have made it unique to them and it is literally a one of a kind home. This kitchen is so warm and beautiful.

[@petramckean5041]

Oh to be in my thirties again and have all of that energy! You are an inspiration for me to keep on keeping on, namely wall-papering our bedroom and dining room (probably toile). We renovated our kitchen four years ago and painted our reddish cupboards white, put in a couple of chandeliers, and painted the walls. I love it! Thanks for the great video. It was so interesting to hear about all of the work you two put in. Truly a labour of love 💕

[@theelliotthomestead]

I told Stu I wouldn’t have the energy to do it again! Ha.

[@carolannemckenzie3849]

Your kitchen sounds fab Petra. Love toile de jouy in a bedroom. Very romantic!

[@RR-ep6uc]

I love your style. So warm and inviting. I always go back and watch all your videos never getting tired of them. My husband and I have been together since we were 20 and are now in our 70’s and we are always having a new project to do in our home. First you make changes to accommodate the children, then grad children and now just for us. How boring life would be if everything was all done, right? Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas with us. 🌈🌈🌷🌷

[@barbarapeterson8030]

My dad was born in 1909. My mom was born in 1919. YOUR KITCHEN is absolutely PRICELESS.

[@lesliecarson684]

I just love all the different eclectic finishes in the kitchen. I am so tired of kitchens where everything matches and so “designed”. I clean homes and it’s rare that I can clean a home that has a kitchen that’s not traditional. I love that you chose to get a dream oven/stove that will last a lifetime. Definitely a treasured part of your kitchen. The flower/ work table as well. I have a drop leaf table i put a piece of marble on to use as a counter. I treasure it like your work table. Thank you for sharing the evolution of your kitchen. It is truly special. Cheers!

[@3eastdesign]

How do you like the height of your drop leaf table for cooking prep work?

[@foreverfantastical21]

I love your kitchen and I love that you show the stages of the reno. It's so discouraging to see people just dump 20-30k in one fell swoop to reno a kitchen/room. We're in a 2500 sq ft farmhouse built in 1860ish. It's stuck in the 60's but we're working on getting her back to her former Italianate glory ♥️

[@fulviab]

With your commitment and all your love, your patience and your hard work, you have created a beautiful home. You are an inspiration to all those who want to live in a welcoming, solid, beautiful and functional place.

[@linenandpurple7663]

These types of videos are my favorite. I love seeing how you've collected things to create a unique, timeless atmosphere in your home.

Oh, Shaye. Your kitchen is just: * chef's kiss noise * perfection. Such a stunning work of art. It's so inspiring to me. ♡ Bravo!

[@sarahreinhardt1414]

I love that! "It couldn't be anyone else's but mine." I think we should all strive for that individuality in our homes!

[@gracemccartin194]

In your last utube video or post I loved that you said .. “maybe ordinary is perfect”. It seems we humans are always chasing more of everything - instead of being content. You made so much sence. Thank you. I have to watch that one again ❤️

[@lisafield4154]

Simply amazing how you transformed a boring slapped up kitchen to what you have now. I adore the comfort of your kitchen. Kitchens are the heart of the home and do not have to be painted grey and all white and appear sterile. Yours exudes warmth, love, memories and wonderful food.

[@BlackWhiteandTheGrays]

Oh Shaye, this kitchen is beautiful. Watching you throughout the years in your home has been so encouraging. The cookie cutter farmhouse is very much in style, but watching how you have made your whole home into something that only you could have, has given me the freedom to do the same in mine. My home definitely has a lot of character and instead of wishing it has clean lines or something anyone could have , I have switched gears and embraced all its charm! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us on KZbin. It sure is a pleasure to watch.

[@jacquelynroe9036]

Well said! We live in an old house too with a lot of “character” and I’m really learning to embrace it 🧡🥰

I came to your channel when I was looking for French Potager gardens that inspired me and how ironic that even though I have lived in rustic, rural France for the past 20 years, it is your beautiful American corner of the world that I clicked with. Your kitchen is stunningly beautiful. It is a true labour of love to do the work of stripping back and revealing the heart of an old property, but, it is ALWAYS worth it. Bravo.

[@TJ-kz1ul]

Your kitchen is fabulous. I love that your home has a rustic, farmhouse feel.....without looking so perfect, matchy matchy and like you've spendt thousands of dollars at Hobby Lobby which seems to be a thing on youtube that is done over and over again. Your home has a much more authentic, beautiful look.

[@sharonomarycasey6859]

Its perfectly imperfect and I love it!! That floor is incredible. The whole thing is warm, authentic, and begs you to curl up in a chair with a glass of wine and stay!! Congratulations on a job fantastically done. (And you are just a darling, beautiful young lady! - if you don’t mind an over 60 lady saying so!)

[@croittle]

I’m beyond amazed by the amount of work you guys put on your homestead, the old farm house, the antiques , the history behind it all, I’m in love with every single piece , your kitchen looks very cozy. I’m new to your channel I’m glad I’m finally subscribed xo

[@tiffinyharrington9307]

There is nothing I do not love about this kitchen. But my favorite is that dreamy wallpaper background for your copper. I have my mother’s copper and it brings me so much joy. And your shiplap. And the terra cotta. Perfect together.

[@beeler178]

I just found your channel and I love it. Our home is a 1bedroom log house with logs in the inside as well.My husband built it in 1883, and when I moved in in 1993, I made all kinds of changes. I love my antiques, my log walls, everything about it. Where the logs meet even though there is insulation between the logs, after a time it all settles and we had drafts coming in. I use clear caulk on the walls everywhere there was a draft. I love it !! I can't wait to start reading your blogs and watching your other videos. Have a blessed day,,,

[@martindaniels710]

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Boy, when searched for rustic, farmhouse kitchens, I was immediately drawn to yours. I have the standard oak front cabinets that most contractors use, and twenty years ago they were fine. I had black granite counters installed with black appliances and yellow cheery walls. The floors are 10x10" grey tiles, which I've always disliked, but they were in great shape so I left them. I'm wanting to change things up. The black counters cracked in two places and it was within the 5 years I had them installed so they replaced them for free. I went with a thicker slab with black, tans, white and some lite brown and I love them. I knew I wanted white cabinets sometime in the future and figured these counters would work well with them. I like the look of open shelves, but don't like the dust and bug bodies that tend to accumulate if you don't use those items very often. I'm thinking the wall the dining set is, I would do board and batten, but I love your walls. I bought some land as an investment a long time ago and there was an old house that literally was falling down on the property so, with the help of my brothers and friends, we went in and salvaged old brass hardware, boards, beams, etcetera before I had it taken down. I even saved the stone foundation and original huge stone slab stepping stones at the entrances of the home and now outside my home. I have some chestnut beams and wallboards from that old house and though they sell very well, I think I may use them for fake wall boards in my kitchen. I want a restored wood cookstove for my kitchen to heat my tiny 900sq. ft house and to also cook on if the electric goes out. I bought one last year in cream that has a copper side tank for the heated water. I like it as it is, but I want it more efficient and have less heat loss, so it is with a company I took it to in Vermont that restores and improves the heat retention of the old stoves. That should be ready by Oct. first and also have an existing brick hearth for it too. The restoration is not cheap, and I could have bought a new Viking Stove with that money, but I already have a big vintage stove I use for my everyday cooking and baking. If you really want something you have to be patient and save for it.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I love what you’ve done with your kitchen, it really does seem to reflect who you are. I also loved your old kitchen, it reflected more of who I am, ha! Those 1950s birch cabinets, swoon! And that vintage stove, I have one too! Your house, gardens, life seems to be the stuff dreams are made of. It’s very fun to watch, although I’m old enough to know that life is just life, it’s not a fairytale, no matter how beautiful and blessed the surroundings. Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed seeing the before and after. I might have to watch this one several times. Oh, I forgot to say I really liked the music.

[@kanay_norie]

I love how your kitchen has so much character and so much warmth. It looks well-lived-in and customized for your own needs. You have a great sense of style!

[@gelwood99]

I have a narrow, many door openings galley kitchen and we are waiting for the hubs to start drawing his retirement in another 30 days. With the knowledge of the total money we will have with his pension too, we are redoing the kitchen in our 70s home. I want to make it easier to work in since I am short and "old" it needs to have lower counters. The last appliance to get will be the gas stove. I am having cabinets built to mimic old dressers because I prefer drawers instead of doors. So after the crazy year that is 2020, 2021 will be the year my gardens flourish and the kitchen becomes a place that works! Eclectic farm with my family antiques in use! I love how your kitchen has come together!

[@shilohmorris5527]

It's crazy because I can see somebody moving in that house and ripping everything out to make it "modern". I love your style because it's so different and cozy. You put so much hard work and thought into everything.

Love what you did to your kitchen,We renovated our kitchen using a lot of salvage from when we had our antique shop .We kept some cabinets removed doors ,we used salvage granite for our counters l have 5 different colours ,3 pieces on one long counter,We used a vintage stained glass double light fixture over the island my husband made,We squeezed in a tiny pantry ,my husband made a screen door for it which is my fave part of the kitchen,We put in a vintage cast iron triple sink ,which gets so many compliments,We painted the cabinets jadeite green ,It all looks like a vintage granny cosy kitchen ,I’m on the lookout for a vintage stove to add to the look,l love my kitchen .

I would recommend having liquid foam squirted in side your outside walls. They can drill holes into the wall outside at the middle & top & squirt it in the middle hole & it’ll expand & fill the void in the wall all the way up to the top where it’ll come out when it’s full.

💐Greetings! If it weren't for our dratted mosquitos in LA, cooking & dining outdoors👩‍🍳year round sounds lovely under a heavily shaded patio☀️. 💐Agree. Her ⚜Parisienne terra cotta tile is stunning, esp. in that brilliant shape. It looks like it will last a few more centuries. As far as I figure, the majority of tile can look ugly dated in a design nanosecond😝. Although I'd prefer to have it as a backsplash or on a powder room floor. Firmly in the plank floor camp for kitchens.

What a complete delight this video is! Thank you, Elliotts, for all the beautiful details and sharing your space with us. 🤗

It's perfectly charming and obviously serves you well. The stove is amazing! We are getting one of those. My motto is something should be both pretty and functional. And on that note, that plastic trash can next to the icebox....maybe something a bit more rustic/pretty could be found?

I came over from Angela’s channel & subscribed right away! I’m binging on your videos & the first thing I’m going to make is the herb salt! We have tons of Rosemary & I don’t mind picking up the other herbs. It will be used a ton!!

Very nice tour! For many years I worked on historical remodels for the state. I always loved demolition because I would discover the original storage/cubby holes built into the walls, beautiful copper ceilings hidden behind plaster etc. It was like a form of archeology. Very good work putting your family life and style into your kitchen! P.S Good editing, well done editor.

Sounds like highly satisying architectual archeology! ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty

I was shocked at the before picture 😲 I would have thought the kitchen always looked as authentic as it does now! Thanks for not being cookie cutter;it’s so refreshing.

[@justdabblingalong3083]

I just love your kitchen, it looks so homey and comfortable and pretty. Thank you for sharing your Reno journey!

[@joyjames5442]

Beautiful kitchen! Love the stove. It's nice to see you don't need a vent hood on top of stove. I always find myself opening up the windows when I cook.

[@KadarineTTV]

you and your house is awe inspiring! your kitchen and garden is probably my favorites!

[@jameschupp2230]

Amazing mixture of textures and colors and designs... Awesome Job!

[@elizabethshittu3275]

This is so lovely. It is clear you worked really hard and it was well worth it. The different colors on the walls, tho are driving me crazy! I love the gray in the back corner and Im wondering what it would look like it they all had the same gray. LOVE the floors, wall paper and stove.

[@deborahramey4631]

Absolutely beautiful! Just started watching your shows and absolutely love it! What a wonderful family life you and your husband have created!

[@anitabarker3125]

I enjoyed the tour and history of your kitchen! It is certainly like you in a French kitchen.NICE!

I hear you saying a lot in your videos "it's not perfect, it's not perfect"... But I ask myself "is not perfect for whom?!?!?". Gosh, your house looks pretty perfect for me, just because it reflects your values and your essence. I wish I could live in a place like that but I would get burnt out from all the cleaning 😂 your house looks beautiful and I can't wait to see all that is coming up!

[@lavendercrowl5695]

The best part for me was that gorgeous stove,. Loved the wallpaper, really wrks great 4 yr kitchen. Yr floor brought back memories when we were in Spain. So much terra cotta there too. Did bring back some to use somewhere in our home that we were going to build at that time but never used them, should dig them out and use in my soon to be new garden shed. How do you clean yr floor since it looks so unlevel. Be careful not to stub yr toes on the edges! 😉

[@tishparker4119]

Jotul! Always been the best and you won’t believe the heat from one piece of wood all the best Elliotts

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

Love the authentically you type of homes too. So much better than the buy it at Marshall's type farmhouses now the rage. Please tell me about your Espresso maker. Where did you get it? Love that wallpaper. I love a warm, cozy lived in house that isn't sterile and perfectly perfect. Give me rustic, French, Italian, cottage style farmhouse for sure.

[@ingasage]
