Updating Our Unfitted Farmhouse Kitchen

We decided to cover the brick in our unfitted farmhouse kitchen. It was wasted space and we couldn't figure out how to utilize the space without it looking like too much. So we decided to cover it with beadboard and make the space match the rest of the kitchen walls.

Our plans are to restore the farm and farmhouse to its former glory all while adding our own individual style and design. We decided to vlog the entire renovation process for our own personal records and for future generations. We are in no way experts in renovating nor do we claim to be professionals.

I am rewatching all of your videos and just falling in love all over again with the home you’re making. I’d forgotten that the brick was exposed for a while. I do love brick, but agree with everyone else (and you) that it looks so much better covered with the beadboard. Tidier, brighter, and more functional. I love the pair of pictures of the man and woman praying.

[@aprilmogensen]

I love love the wall & painted white w/the shelf behind the stove.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! I think it looks so much better!

[@bigbarnlittlehouse7013]

Love. LOVE. LOVE!!! Your kitchen! Just so beautiful! That mustard yellow cabinet piece is to die for.

[@evawood9655]

Amen!!!

[@karenbrewer5864]

I love the finished kitchen. You have modern conveniences but yet it looks quaint and it’s just beautiful! Can’t wait to see the next phase. 😊

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@sherryharding5792]

The wall looks really much much better now. Glad to know that you'll are very thrifty and handy. Great teamwork.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@DeborahWing-dq4bj]

I love it that you are bringing something back to a very useful state. The farm is beautiful!! Your family is the best for helping you!!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@samanthabroaddrick2529]

It looks so good! I initially had hoped you would cover that brick but understood why you didn't. It just didn't work with the studs the way they were to make it usable, like you said. Your finished kitchen is so homey and pretty and roomy too! Good job guys! I know you will enjoy it for many, many years to come!❤

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@teresaward8464]

Sarah it looks beautiful! It really gives it a finished & brighter look! Sometimes you have to live in your home for a while to get a feel for it. I’m excited to see what y’all have planned for the dining rm! 🍂🍁

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! Yes, that is so true!

[@noncompliance1922]

Wow! Great teamwork and wonderful results!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@barbarabrown4767]

Great job on the stove wall. ❤

[@Stinson.Homestead]

Another exposed brick and wood lover, but I understand why you covered it. It looks really nice and cohesive with the rest of the kitchen. And having space for a shelf is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing all the projects to come. Blessings!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It was such a hard decision to make but I'm so happy with how it turned out! Thank you!

[@karenhanley3912]

It looks so much better ! So much more cohesive ! I just love the way you styled your kitchen. It is absolutely true farmhouse and beautiful 😊 I can’t wait to see what you do next with the dining room !

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@dyanalayng5507]

That beadboard turned out so well - a great example of reusing older materials. I liked the brick texture and colour, but of course hard to clean. That shelf is a perfect big size over your stove 💖💕🇨🇦

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@christinedyment4067]

Ghomy makes complete sense! I feel you! It looks great 💗

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kimhamburger673]

Looks so good. Beautiful, great job.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marywest2896]

I saw you just when you finished your kitchen, with the pastry table, and I don't know what happened I know I subscribed, but anyhow you popped back up on my feed and I for sure subscribed again and I am watching all I have missed so don't be surprised if I comment on these older videos..lol...enjoy your channel and I love what you and your husband are doing to that jewel of a home.

[@LinenandWildflowers]

It looks so much better. I love the shelf decor!

[@winewhiskeytravelers9890]

Pretty update! I liked the exposed brick, but his change looks very good and you've got use of the wall. Nicely done!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! I love having the extra wall space now.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Wow - I was surprised to hear you were covering up the brick. I understand your reasoning and having the wall be more functional. It does look good. I like the shelf and that you hung the chimney medallion back. Nicely done!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It was such a hard decision to make! I contemplated it for months. Thank you so much!

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

Sarah, I love your videos. I like what you did for the exposed brick, kitchen is lovely 🤗🤗🤗love the shelf over your range😊

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@jumbleboxshop4170]

Looks so pretty. I really like the shelf above the stove. It has a mantle feel to it.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! I think so too!

[@vcrouch6041]

My grandma had the same art in her kitchen. Your kitchen is looking great!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thats so cool! Thank you so much!

[@candacerobertson4154]

[@evawood9655]

Such an inspiration as we are redoing a old farmhouse, too! My husband grew up in the house... Hoping yo bring back her unfitted kitchen, too.... Thanks for sharing!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

That is so awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@suedorfman7138]

Love the look of the new white wall. The shelf is a perfect touch.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! ❤️

[@lynsmith2698]

I love it, what a difference covering the brick, as much as I love brick, the kitchen, in my opinion looks so much cleaner and streamline. I’m so jealous of the breadboard you scored, it’s beautiful. Anyways great job. 🌷🇨🇦

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! I feel like covering the brick finally made it all come together and feel complete.

[@kellybarbe1523]

I LOVE your finished kitchen its beautiful💕

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@julieanns.7134]

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I loved the brick, but this is really pretty! Great job! Thanks for sharing!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!

[@nicolefinch5596]

I love exposed brick but I think this looks so much better. Great job! ❤

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@DBurgg]

Great job.....easier to clean+ functionality!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@kristinebailey6554]

Only thing I would have changed was to make that shelf light gray to match the wainscoting below.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It must just be the shadows making it look gray but its not. The entire kitchen is the same color as the shelf.

[@hollybritton7255]

I LOVE your style!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@aprilmogensen]

Your kitchen is beautiful.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@vivianneigin1399]

I think the bead board looks nice.

[@AshleyN405]

[@ronimiller1875]

Gorgeous!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@hollybritton7255]

The picture of Grace was taken in my small town of Bovey, Minnesota.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Really?! That is so cool!

[@poodlegirl55]

I love exposed brick too but the wood studs kind of spoiled the look and seemed like it would be hard to keep clean. But you have to live with stuff and see and you made a great choice because it looks beautiful.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Since it was sealed it was actually really easy to keep clean. I'm afraid the white paint will be hard to keep clean lol. Thank you!

[@poodlegirl55]

Can't win!!! I have white shiplap behind my stove. It's fine. @@LewisAcresHomestead

[@oldchickenlady]

I thought you were going to leave the little framed area with the chimney cover open to the brick 😞. You folks sure work hard!

[@joannewolfe5688]

I think I would have painted those studs to match the light red brick so it would "disappear," and then hang whatever shelving you would want from the studs.

[@lindalegg7137]

Looks great

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@celticlassie]

I love it!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you!

[@Ava_shorts107]

The copper tea kettle… does it work? Do you use it or is it just more for decoration? I’m curious, because I have the same kettle and I’m wondering if you use yours because I have not used mine yet…

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

The tea kettle that I took down it was broke and wouldn't work. The tea pot I cleaned and hung in its spot does work and I use it multiple times a week.
