The kitchen before had a drop ceiling with florescent lights, lavender vinyl flooring, dark cabinets and outdated appliances.

It was quite dark and crowded.

I wanted a bright, cheery and elegant kitchen.

We raised the ceiling height, opened up the wall to the right and moved the appliances to a better location.

We also put in a larger island for added seating.

And look at these floors.

They scream old world style and sophistication.

One of my favorite things is that the brick floors are virtually indestructible and easy to clean.

We put in new windows over the sink. We have travertine counters and a crackle finish subway tile on the backsplash.

Creating the perfect French Country kitchen for your home can be a delightful and exciting experience.

Whether you’re looking to evoke an atmosphere of old-world charm in your country cottage, or simply want to bring a Parisian café atmosphere into your city apartment, a classic French Country kitchen design has endless possibilities that suit any style and budget.

With just a few carefully chosen elements – including color, furniture pieces, and décor – you can soon have an alluring space where guests feel welcome, nourishment flourished, and entertaining is as enjoyable as it should be!

So curl up on the couch with some freshly brewed coffee – because by our next journey together we’ll have created something magical!

The island is 6 feet by five feet. We put a wood countertop on the island-I love the contrast with the white cabinets.

The wood counter top and brick flooring add so much warmth and character.

We put in lovely brick flooring in a herringbone pattern, which really makes it feels like a French Country Home.

This seating area is one of my favorite parts of the kitchen.

It’s where my husband and I like to sit with a cup of tea and visit.

Creating a French country kitchen is all about mixing and matching different design elements to create a cozy and inviting space.

I thoroughly enjoy adding all of the fun little touches.

What better way to store your cooking utensils in a French Country Kitchen, than in a silver wine urn.

It’s the little things that make my heart so happy.

Every time that I walk into the kitchen and see these cute little boxwoods wreaths, it makes me smile.

I found this vintage light fixture on Facebook Marketplace.

The lady that I bought it from said that it was really old and that she got it in France.

I paid only $75 for it. It is the final French Country touch.
