My Kitchen Refresh with Wow 1 Day Painting Lexington

I have been scheming on giving my kitchen a little refresh over the last year and with the new year kicking off, I was itching for a new house project! I enjoyed working with Wow 1 Day Painting Lexington so much last year and was thrilled to work with them again on this project. Since last working with them, they have added a slew of new services including trimwork, carpentry, drywall repair, framing, flooring, and more!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Cozy + Neutral Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

I love a cozy fall kitchen! Fall is the launch of the holiday season, and setting my kitchen up so that it’s a warm, inviting space really helps me set the tone for all the upcoming gatherings! I have a few new additions to the kitchen this year including a rug under the dining table, some lamps (LOVE a lamp in a kitchen- so unexpected but add so much coziness!), and some new framed prints throughout. I have linked all the items I used to decorate my space below as well as similar options for anything that is one-of-a-kind/vintage. Take a little tour of my autumn kitchen through the photos below!

Fall Home Tour 2020: Cozy Neutral Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

I’m wrapping up this year’s fall home tour with one of my favorite spaces in the house- our kitchen! Overall I keep this room pretty neutral but I am loving the addition of some pops of fall color throughout inspired by my new kitchen runner. I added a lot of faux and dried stems throughout as well as wreaths on the fireplace and window for simple pops of autumn texture and color. I also love accessorizing the open shelving in here too for each season. I’ve linked all my favorite pieces for you to shop below!

Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Farmhouse Christmas Kitchen

My kitchen is always one of my favorite areas to decorate for the holidays. This year I did a more neutral color scheme in here of all white, black, and pops of green. Our beautiful real tree and garland on the fireplace is courtesy of Hillenmeyer’s Christmas Shop and are definitely the highlights of the space. The quality of the greenery and our tree are above and beyond what I have gotten before at other stores and our tree still looks just as full and healthy as it did when we first got it! Not only is the quality top notch, but the experience you get at Hillenmeyer’s is just completely magical and so special! Every corner is photo worthy and they really put so much effort into making it a beautiful and inspiring space for all who visit. I can’t thank them enough for collaborating with me this year and making my Christmas decor a little more special.

Fall Kitchen Tour 2019

I’m excited to share my newly refreshed fall kitchen! I recently stripped down this entire space- all wall decor and curtains, and have been moving towards a more modern and minimal style in here overall. I’m still wanting to update my rugs and a few other things, but I already am loving the updates. Along those same lines, I kept the fall decor in here very neutral and simple this year. Lots of black and white, mixing textures, and simple, natural accessories. I always love styling the open shelving and fireplace area in particular.

Fall Home Tour 2018: Kitchen

Today I’m sharing the next room up on my fall home tour, my kitchen! I love to decorate this space for any time of year because there’s so many different areas and elements to refresh: open shelving, fireplace, table settings, and more! I usually use a lot of bright colors in here normally but add an extra pop of orange in as well for fall. I love how it looks mixed with the greens, blues, and gold accents I usually have in this space. Some of my favorite elements of this room are the simplest decor items- like the blue vase on the kitchen table filled with a tall autumn leaf stem; or the fireplace filled with a combination of firewood, bright pumpkins and gourds, and modern brass candlesticks.
