My Primitive Kitchen

The picture below is what I'm going for. I really like how some of the cupboard doors have fabric in them and I'm considering putting glass doors on the three largest cabinets where my dishes are so I can do this.

This is how our kitchen looked when we did our final walk thru before we bought the house. I was so excited to have so many cupboards since the cabin had very few. The cupboard under the stovetop has pullout drawers, but the gas lines are there and it's not really safe so I want to use the cupboards under the new raised counter for pots and pans. I'll use it for canned goods once we get the other cupboards built.

We are going to take the dropped ceiling out and replace the 3 fluorescent lights with one ceiling fan. I like this black fan. but I want one with a light kit. I can replace the lampshades with these punched tin ones. Garbers Crafted Ligting - tin light shades and lighting kit

The light over the sink will be replaced with a  pendant light.

The hardware would be replaced with black knobs by Stone Mill for $3.76 each and drawer pulls by Stone Mill for $4.36 each. I found both of these at Lowes

I would paint all the cabinets Tricorn black. It might be difficult to cover them and would take several coats, but I don't mind the work. I think it would look great with the gold countertops when I'm finished. 

I was going to replace the garden  window but now I think I will keep it as it would be a cool place to place my Star Vine Canister Set. I found it at Amazon for $59.00. That's about $30 cheaper than anywhere else.

 ... and some primitive block sets like the one below. I found it at Here's Your Sign Primitives for $19.99. I also love these burner covers. They are too pretty to be put on a stove top, but I thought they would look great in the garden window as plates. I found them at RagedyAnn on Etsy for $40.

 

As you can see there is another counter to the left. I want to raise it so it's even with the other counter and put some more matching cabinets under it. I want to make sure one of the cabinets can hold our trash can.   

I'm hoping I take the tile off behind the stovetop and hopefully sand it smooth so I can put this wallpaper up. It's paintable Beadboard Wallpaper that I found at Home depot for about $30 a double roll. It's the cheapest solution I can come up with. I won't know what I'm getting into until I try to take those tiles off.  I'm going to paint the walls the Golden Hills color by Benjamin Moore. I think it will look great against the black cupboards.

  







I found this really cool removable sticker set  at American Blinds  for $22.99 and I would put the calendar on the fridge. It's a dry erase board. I'd put the "Friends" and "Family" stickers on wall above the stovetop.  I like this tea kettle too and I think it would look cute in the garden window. I found it at Primitive Country Treasures

 



 This is the fabric I'd use to make a valance for over the kitchen sink.
