Kitchen Design DIY ⚜️ MY UNFITTED FRENCH COUNTRY KITCHEN ⚜️ All You Need is a Little Rearranging

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Friends - TRY to ride out the two minutes starting at 1:38 where our background music is too loud. WE KNOW:) It was an editing accident. If you turn it down instead of having your phone all the way, it's tolerable and evens out a few minutes later. I appreciate your patience. No need to comment that it's too loud. I'm already ticked at myself enough. LOL. - Thanks for being here! 💋

[@frenchcountrylove7435]

❤❤it's ok, happens to me too😊

[@jenniferjenkins7511]

Agree, the music is louder than you talking

[@fayee8986]

No problem!

[@joantionette734]

Please no music when you are talking only when you are showing something without narration. Thanks for the update.

[@queenbmary1]

It was still a great fun video!

[@emilymazzamuto2522]

I loved the “Before” but man I’m in love with the “After”! Gorgeous!!

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Thank you. It's totally grown on me. I just did this yesterday.

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

Agree!!!!

[@andreabalogh5967]

So agree!!! ❤

[@tuhesse]

This is the type of video you used to make and the kind I've been missing. Please make more. Kitchen looks great either way.

[@melissaweis4946]

I agree, these type of videos are why we fell in love with this channel

[@amandagonsman1504]

Yes agree!!

[@henriettahenson]

Yes the before l loved and thought why change it... .. Then you worked your. Magic and my goodness the after is quite special.... Just homey and lovely, 💋🏡🌈❤️

[@Jane-3229]

Oh darling when I saw you struggling to move the units at the beginning I felt for you! When I have done when home alone I put a large towel underneath and then pull and slide xx

[@dawndawn6946]

Beautiful! What a difference a few feet and a turn can make!🥰😍

[@NanaTrece9444]

Really enjoyed watching you change things using mostly what you already have.

[@deesmellie1928]

Love the change!!! Love how you use things from around your house not go out buying new things.

[@rubycollins49]

I thought what you had before was cute I like it now to I think everything you do it's so beautiful anyway my favorite is the island with the bar stools it realy made the room along with the old lamp hanging from ceiling that is old world to me. I love your videos and your home and family to. My home I'm makeing it my own to it's hard to find the right pieces to make it look like that have great day God Bless!!!!

[@BelindaTN]

I adore your butcher block table. I want one in the worst way and in watching you move yours around, convinces me that I want one with casters on it.

[@TheSwissChalet]

Looks so much better than wall to wall matching cabinets. And I love the mis-matched harmony of all the different pieces, the worn and well-loved patinas, and the layering of everyday objects of life. I struggle with resisting to put everything away and tucked behind closed cabinet doors, versus artfully displaying the things I use every day. You manage to make “clutter” gorgeous…that is an art and a gift! I think the key is to make sure all the every day items are beautiful…get rid of all plastic, modern, etc. Your look is so refreshing after 2 decades of the all white farmhouse look…the look I call “when farmhouse meets operating room, and everything is so stark and sterile that you can perform surgery on your kitchen island”. So glad we’re moving past that.

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Oh heavens, I had to tell myself, "ride out the white" --- it looks so clean, but the minute hubby leaves his shoes out or someone drops Legos everywhere the look is ruined. LOL. This suits family life much better.

[@juliecarns]

Beautiful states! Yes, set out my glass electric tea pot and French press on a footed silver tray along with my silver tea pot holding my utensils on a silver tray with my mismatched salt and pepper grinders: functional and beautiful. Would love to see your kitchen: on Instagram? Julie

[@casandradickinson8518]

Good morning lovely Angela, I always like your cozy home, you are very creative, blessings!

[@scrappaperart]

Simple makeover of a room but it packs a punch. Thanks for sharing.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

You have such a beautiful kitchen Angela! I’ve never seen a copper sink before, stunning. Love the change. Your stove is definitely front and center now. It always feels good to have a re-fresh. 😊

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Perfect timing for all the flowers being brought in. Dressing the kitchen in poppies and dill in the next video as a follow up to this one.

[@mariaweihert8667]

I have got to give you a lot of credit. You look great, you really take care of yourself. You started a business and it is successful. You have home schooled your children while renovating your house and garden. God bless you and your family for continued success and happiness.

The “after” is SO much better! Love the flow! ❤

[@joannetrombley1317]

You have brought back some great old memories I have of my aunt who would infamously rearrange her living room furniture every other month. Oh how nice it would be to come sit at your kitchen counter and have a latte and croissant.

[@sharonmacy989]

I love the change for a change. I took love moving my furniture around.

[@jberry975]

I just LOVE it!! I’m trying to make my boring copy/paste subdivision home into an old lived in home. Thank you so much for all the inspiration.

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Oh that's fabulous. It's a challenge, but good for you!

[@juliecarns]

Would love to see pictures of your progress! Are you on Instagram? Fellow subdivision decorator, Julie

[@girlmeetshomestead]

Ok, I did NOT think it was going to turn out as good as it did. It somehow looks bigger and Luga shines. I LOVE IT!!

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

I have a half & half. 1960’s cabinets with my 1990’s countertops and backsplashes on one end. Crude large open shelving unit next to frig, antique kitchen cabinet (open shelving on top) on another wall and rolling cart with great top for rolling dough on other wall next to doorway. I painted the cabinets white and found antique knobs for all doors and drawers. It’s a small kitchen. I love to cook and have lots of “tools” so I need storage. I keep the colors white and forest green with unfinished wood on the vintage/antique shelving pieces. What pulls it together is the floor which is alternating green and white 12” tiles set on end (diamond). It’s cheerful, very workable, and friends say it’s charming.

[@genietillery878]

I have always loved your kitchen. It looks good to me any way you arrange it.

[@rubybishop2988]

The kitchen is beautiful, I loved that show Corfu. And may I say how beautiful you look in this video also !

[@la.comtesse.de.vermont]

Looked so perfect before...now it looks perfect after too.

Thanks, Carolyn.

[@paulawhite5157]

Love it. I would not worry about the birchwood at the sink. The kitchen floor is a o k in my book. Thanks for sharing. Perfectly imperfection.

[@LP-en9eo]

Love the changes!! Looks great!

[@debrablack5173]

Thank you Angela. You always inspire me. I like the change in your kitchen. very much.

[@maltipoosoffgrid6868]

This video it so helpful to me, we are building a house right now and this is the kitchen I want.finding the pieces the correct style and size and also in the budget is a challenge. 😊 thanks for the help❤

[@debihuntsman9314]

It's funny how we see our own spaces differently than how others see them. You look at your kitchen and see things you want to change. I look at your kitchen and wish it was mine. I have a small, fitted kitchen, and find all the things you wish to change in yours, very charming and beautiful. 😍😍

[@karenstairs8273]

I really love the changes in the kitchen. I'm inspired to move things around in my kitchen of my 1880 apartment. I made patchwork curtain toppers and have some ideas for changing the backsplash (Being a rental and cost of tiles is not in my budget). I have 70's apartment cabinets (Former owner put them in...Why? I will never know) so I want to change what they look like on the front's.

[@sprivate1333]

I'm constantly changing around all the rooms in my house including my kitchen. I would never have a fitted kitchen, otherwise, I'd be unscrewing cabinets from the walls! LOL Looks gorgeous! A few weeks ago, on my local FB marketplace, there was a copper sink very similar to yours. Oh how I debated......but that one wasn't meant to be mine at this time.

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Oh wow. I've only ever seen one like mine on an antique auction website, and it was the half-size.

[@kathydohack2637]

I want one too but they are pricey.

[@janicekeisler9225]

Hi Angela! I love your “new” kitchen - adding the barstools is such a good idea and the kitchen does have a more open feel to it. I struggle to change furniture arrangements because of the lack of space but agree that trying and living with the change for awhile pays off and has led to some improvements. Your kitchen is used a lot and needs to have items accessible-it is not cluttered because of your talent to arrange. You are amazing and look beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us!

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Out of all of your videos, this is my favorite. Maybe someday I will have the courage to tear out all the existing cabinetry and go for the dream of an unfitted kitchen. ~ Michele

[@katherinechatham9032]

Enjoying watching you work. I have redone many kitchens just by moving things around. Thank you for all the great ideas. My kitchen is so different than any I have seen before. I have blackthorn wallpaper at the top of the walls, and I have bead-board below and a chair rail. I put two consoles together to form my island and put a granite top on the consoles after they were pushed together. One other console sits against the wall with green countertops. Then I have a small group of cabinets thst houses my sink and baking dishes.

[@barbaral1486]

Love your kitchen , it is fabulous!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Love the after! I wish I could change things up, but I have a fixed peninsula with my sink in it. But I did put 4 inch wainscoting and painted it flat black under the peninsula . Also I have a large hutch that only fits one wall in the kitchen, as one the other side is all windows. We all have our challenges, but make the best of what we have. I just decorate around my perceived flaws. Love collecting old tarnished silver trays and pitchers and blue and white ceramics. And, of course, my growing collection of wood cutting boards.

[@marlenetillman7904]

Your kitchen and every piece in it is my dream kitchen !!! But my little kitchen with only one set of cupboards only 7ft wide and that includes sink on them doesn’t allow for much fun like yours , but I can dream, And your kitchen is that dream!

[@lee-annross3358]

Always enjoy your kitchen videos. The "refresh" videos are such a treat. Thank You.

[@UrbanCountryStyleByJudy]

I really wasn't sure the after was going to work, but my goodness you NAILED IT! Love it.

[@Luke12vs48]

Salut Angela - You are such an inspiration and a blessing to all your subscribers - merci beaucoup! I love unfitted kitchens and your rearrangement is excellent with your kitchen more open & refreshed. I6 years ago I changed my very small & narrow galley kitchen to a completely unfitted room when I moved in. Except for 3 floor to ceiling storage cupboards in adjoining hallway which I repurposed for everyday food & china etc., I removed everything including overhead cabinetry & installed a painted chest of drawers alongside my stove. This holds teatowels, pot holders, assortment of coffee,teas, with all yummy things for snacks and entertaining. The electric kettle & French stand for my lovely William Morris coffee mugs on top not only leave enough room for making hot drinks its a great spot to place for hot dishes from the oven. The advantage of a galley is being able to turn from the stove to the opposite bench to transfer food - no walking! Opposite the stove the full lenth of the galley is taken up by an Antique sideboard with marble top, sink with dishwasher alongside with marble top shelf style bench which continues to French doors at the end of the room. (Ample storage for vegetables, 1st aid items, etc in Rustic style mobile drawers, baskets etc, underneath bench & the sink). The end of the galley is glass roofed & the French doors open onto a small lawn & garden. A French style settle provides a comfy spot for reading or seating for a friend of two while I cook. Like you Angela, this French themed kitchen has a small persian rug on the floor. I turned an adjoining room into a walk in butlers pantry; fridge, microwave oven, an Antique glass front cupboard for "all the finer things" plus plenty of other shelving. While not perfect, I absolutely love it all :)

[@Luke12vs48]

BTW. Other than my 2 antique heirloom pieces, my unfitted kitchen has been diy using thrift shop finds.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Fantastic! I admit I didn't think you could make that kitchen better, it's so much better! I can see a family buzzing around there so well.

[@noeliamonreal2428]

Love it. You did good.😅 I don't have a kitchen of my own right now. I'm staying with someone. But I sure do my MY OWN KITCHEN. Looking forward to some day regaining my own space, Again . Meanwhile, God is good and I am not complaining. He knows my heart. ❤
