our farmhouse kitchen reveal

It’s finally here! You guys have been so patient with me while I figure this whole blogging thing out – so thank you for sticking around. Better late, than never right? So without further ado… let’s finally take a look at our farmhouse kitchen reveal for Mouse House! (grab a drink and get comfy ‘cuz this is going to be one picture heavy post – scroll all the way to the end for full source list) UPDATE: check out the rest of the kitchen details in this post.

**this post may contain affiliate links, see my full disclosure here.


and if you’re new to the blog and have no idea what Mouse House is, it’s our affectionately named fixer upper that we worked on all last year –  you can find out more details here:

So let’s look back at the before pics of this poor kitchen, shall we? Nasty soffits visually lowered the ceiling height, and the door to the garage limited cabinet placement.  Scroll through this gallery to see some before and in progress shots:

Farmhouse Kitchen Design Tips:

By relocating the door to the garage, I was able to create a much larger and more functional kitchen. Taking down the ugly soffits and using open shelves instead of upper cabinets gives the kitchen a much lighter feel. And there’s still tons of storage available in the 7 foot island and lower cabinetry. (I’ll be sharing a tutorial for the open shelves soon)

We created the look of a built-in fridge by framing out and stealing a little space from the laundry/mudroom (accessed by the barn door shown on the right of the above photo.)

And like many farmhouse kitchens, we chose white cabinetry. We used my favorite affordable white shaker cabinets from Menards. They are solid maple wood, with standard soft close doors, and big deep drawers (check out those 36″ double drawers on either side of the stove!) The brand is Schrock and we chose the Morgan door design and the color is White.

The countertops are from Riverstone Quartz which is Menards’ own brand of countertops.  The color is graphite which is basically a solid mid-gray with very small (and not very noticeable) flecks throughout. I chose these because I wanted an upgrade from laminate, but I didn’t want to spend a fortune. We were able to get these for $35/sq ft which was cheaper than any other option I could find around us. You do have to install them yourself though, which wasn’t very difficult thanks to my hubby’s awesome skillz. But be sure to have a few of your strongest friends on hand (shout out to Kevin!)when they’re delivered as they are HEAVY.  

I always cringe when I see these gorgeous kitchens on Houzz or other design sites because, while they look absolutely stunning, the price tag is also equally stunning. I want to tell you that you don’t have to spend $50K to have a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen. We spent a little over $6k for these cabinets and saved money doing our own installation. 

Craig did add a few custom touches like the awesome x styled panels on the end of the island. And he also trimmed out the bottom of the island for a more built-in furniture look. I love the way it turned out!

The stove hood came from the cabinet outlet store near us. It was $199 and a horrible mahogany brown color. I had originally thought Craig would build a custom hood, but this saved us so much time so I scooped it up and he painted it BM Fieldstone using our paint sprayer.

I made the sign above the stove for about $5. You can find the super easy tutorial here.

The people that purchased the house picked out the appliances, including this gorgeous Thermador Pro Harmony Professional Gas Range. Craig’s truck cost less than this range, but I guess if you love to cook maybe it’s worth it? I think I’ll stick to frozen pizza πŸ™‚

I found this awesome old door for $40 at our local architectural salvage store. Craig cleaned it up, filled some holes, and painted it Benjamin Moore Lakeshore Green. He used this super great (but cheap) barn door hardware from Amazon to hang it, and his 9″ cast iron handle  adds the perfect finishing touch!

Wow, this is getting to be a super long post! UPDATE: SEE THE REST OF THE KITCHEN DETAILS HERE.   Feel free to ask any questions in the comments and I’ll try to respond. This was a fun project and I’m so proud of my hubby for doing such a wonderful job – he did 90% of the work himself!

He is so talented, and all his hard work paid off – the house sold before we even put it on the market! A sweet couple drove by and saw him working on it and expressed their interest, made an offer, and we accepted! There was one detail they wanted to change with the kitchen and I’ll have to keep you all in suspense as that’s another LONG post. Sorry for the teaser, but there’s lots more coming – so stay tuned πŸ™‚

    I love, love, love the kitchen. The island your hubby made is fantabulous! I am even more convinced you are flipping these houses in my area. I saw that the laundry room flooring is from Flooring Surfaces in Champaign and instantly their radio jingle popped in my head.

    Our flip house is in St. Joseph. We are 30% into it and already are drawing some interest. Did you even get the Mouse House on the market before selling it? I really want to do open shelving in the kitchen but several of my friends think not. I agree that all those upper cabinets seem to close in the kitchen. But I don’t want to make our house too taste specific. How is the Joanna Farmhouse style selling for you? About how long do your flips take? Oh, whenRe did the corbels you used sir the shelving come from? They are so pretty.

    Can’t wait to see more posts. Keep up the beautiful work! Dawn

    I love the space! It is a lot like what we are going for in my kitchen. We built upper open shelving last year, and I love it! So open and airy, but I have a large pantry and I think that helps. What size board did your husband use for the x’s on the island? My island is huge, it can’t really be changed without redoing the whole downstairs floors, so I am stuck with a slightly boxy shape. I think the x’s would amp up the farmhouse feel a lot! Thanks, for sharing!

    Reply
    • theharperhouse says: April 17, 2017 at 9:59 PM

      I believe those x’s were 4″ wide that he cut out of a sheet of mdf. I think finishing off the island with details like that makes it look so much more custom. I bet it would look great in your home too! Thanks for visiting Anne πŸ™‚

    Love your remodel! We are building a new home and have shiplap throughout. The walls were painted Alabaster and the trim was a custom paint swatch from a designer. The trim actually looks yellow against the Alabaster walls. I am considering having it repainted and trying to find the right color. I may just have the trim painted the color of the walls but I saw you had BM White Dove. How does this color contrast with the Alabaster? Our house is filled with windows as it is a lake home but it has trees and northern exposure so it is low light throughout the house, hence making the trim look even more “yellowish”. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and helping to inspire us all!

    Reply
    • theharperhouse says: April 17, 2017 at 10:08 PM

      BM White Dove is very similar to Alabaster and is slightly on the yellowish side, so I wouldn’t use that to paint the trim if you have low lighting conditions in the space. You would probably want a more crisp white like Benjamin Moore Super White or BM Chantilly Lace. Just be sure to get a sample first to test out in your space. Good luck!

    Hi…your rehab is absolutely stunning!! you are amazing! One quick question – we are doing a similar rehab in an old farmhouse that has existing ship lap walls and ceilings and we plan to paint bright and white similar to your gorgeous rehab. I am just curious why you used Alabaster for the ship lap and White Dove for Trim? Could you have used one or the other for all? Do you notice a difference in the color on the wood? Also, did you use Egg Shell or Satin finish? Thanks so much – you are very talented!!

    Reply
    • Christy Harper says: August 7, 2017 at 12:24 PM

      Thanks so much for your sweet comment Tammy πŸ™‚ You can definitely use the same color of paint on both the shiplap and trim (in fact, Joanna used Alabaster on both her trim & shiplap in her own farmhouse.) I chose to use a different color on the trim as I wanted a little bit of contrast between the two. It’s not drastic, but very subtle and I love the way it turned out. We used eggshell finish on the shiplap and semi-gloss on the trim & doors. I always like my trim & doors to have slightly more sheen and I also think semi gloss is easier to wipe clean. Good luck with your project!

    Hi Christy! I really admire your style and thank you for all of the helpful advice and information you give to us aspiring farmhouse decorators! My husband and I are starting to build a new home and I was wondering a couple of things. You mentioned that your cabinets are white but are they a true white or an off white and how do they compare to your alabaster walls? And, do you know what colour Joanna’s cabinets are ?
    Thanks so much!!

    Reply
    • Christy Harper says: April 10, 2018 at 11:33 AM

      what a sweet comment – thanks so much Tammy! These cabinets were very close to a true white (not blinding cold white, but a nice clean white.) This was their stock color and they are maybe just a bit brighter than the Alabaster walls. I do believe Joanna’s cabinets in her own farmhouse are the same color as her walls & trim (SW Alabaster.) I would definitely recommend getting some quotes from your local big box stores on cabinetry. Custom cabinets are gorgeous, but at least in our area cost about twice as much. We have used these cabinets from Menards in 4-5 flip houses and we actually just installed a similar brand Medallion (also from Menards) in our own kitchen. Cabinetry was one place I chose to save money and preferred to upgrade my counter tops & lighting instead. But the cabinets are still gorgeous with soft close full extension drawers, full overlay doors, etc… Good luck with your build – if you need a good source for building materials (faucets, sinks, lighting, etc…) I have a full list of many of my tried & true favorites here on Amazon – https://www.amazon.com/shop/theharperhouse.

        thanks so much! No, we didn’t fade it into another color – it’s straight Lakeshore Green. It’s probably a shadow, sometimes it’s hard to get an accurate color in a photo so I definitely always recommend picking up a color sample to see how it looks in your own space.

      Hi Susie – I really like White Dove by Benjamin Moore for shiplap, trim & doors. Alabaster by Sherwin Williams is great too and what Joanna used for her cabinets, trim, and shiplap at her farmhouse. Good luck with whatever you decide!

    Hello!
    You have a beautiful home and did a fantastic job. Did you cabinetry match the woodwork and shiplap exactly? I am worried our white ice cabinetry will not look good against the alabaster painted shiplap and woodwork.

    Reply
    • Christy Harper says: November 5, 2018 at 3:03 PM

      thanks so much Madison – the cabinets were very close to the walls & woodwork colors. If you’re nervous, you can usually check out a cabinet door or sample color from the box store or wherever you’re buying your cabinets. Then just take them home to compare to whatever colors you’re considering for your walls & trim. Good luck!

    I love this kitchen! I’m building one very similar and I’m worried about picking out the white paint colors. The walls will be white, the cabinets, and the trim. What β€œwhites” did you use and where? The outside of the home will be Alabaster by Sherwin Williams.

      Thanks so much Shelby! We actually used Alabaster for the shiplap walls in this house and we chose BM White Dove for the trim & doors. We got the kitchen cabinets from Menards and they came already painted (a classic white.) If you’re looking for a nice clean white that goes well with White Dove and Alabaster, try Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Good luck!

      Thanks so much Suzie! We painted the exterior brick Intellectual Gray by Sherwin Williams. I really love how it turned out. Thanks for reading!

      Hi Tanya, we used white oak engineered hardwoods for these floors. We loved them so much we also installed them in our current home as well! You really can’t find a better floor for such an affordable price (and believe me, I looked everywhere!) We purchased them from Build Direct online. They are the Jasper brand in color Sedona Silver. They will also send you free samples which really helped make the decision easier. Hope this helps!
