Home Tour: Kitchen April 15, 2020
I’ve been meaning to kick off a home tour series where I feature each room in our home with a full source list, and what better time than now? Today I’m featuring the most used room in our home…the kitchen! Side note: it’s never this clean, but this mini photoshoot encouraged me to organize it and put the random crap that’s always scattered around away. Which is an added bonus!
The kitchen was the first room we redid when we purchased our home. You can see what it previously looked like in this post. We painted the cabinets white and added new hardware, added shiplap to the walls, updated the flooring, and redid the countertops. We later on added a subway tile backsplash.
Most recently, we added a small breakfast nook area, which we use very frequently. I love that it adds some seating in the kitchen. You can read about that addition and why we chose to do it here. It’s also easily removable if we ever decide to do that.
We use the lockers by our back door as a makeshift mudroom storage. Our house is a small cape, and doesn’t have a closet we can throw coats in. This was our best option for now! I can also see adding an adorable banquette here for extra seating.
We keep our coffee maker and convection oven on the other side of the kitchen. It works great as a little coffee station!
Our kitchen is definitely smaller in size, but I feel we’ve made it function in the best way possible for our family. All sources are listed below!

It is so true that layout/flow of a space is more important than size in a lot of cases. I have been trying to figure out for months were to put our first aid stuff that is accessible and out of reach of little hands – your tour gave me the idea of above our refrigerator as well! Do you have a link to the medicine tin you use?
It’s from Painted Fox Home!
This is SO helpful, thank you for spending all the time to create this for us!
How does the Serena & Lily rug hold up? I am thinking of getting the same one in Oyster to put in front of my front door and garage door which we use to come into the house. Does it stain easily?
Hi! It’s definitely gotten dirty – high traffic area! I haven’t tried to clean it yet, figured I would wait until it gets warmer and hose it down!
Where is your Dutch door from?
Simpson Door!
Hi! Love your kitchen! Can i ask the dimensions and how big your island is?
