We all might not have Farmhouse Kitchens but so many of us really love the Farmhouse Kitchen look…the budget doesn’t lend itself to a complete kitchen makeover…but fear not…you can get the Farmhouse look by adding some fun and fabulous farmhouse fresh items throughout the room. Today we are going to explore some of these special touches.



Let’s start with adding a vintage style sign like this one hanging in the Thistlewood Farm Kitchen. Looks vintage but it’s not and what is awesome about this one is…Karianne is going to show you how to make this so you can add it to your own kitchen.









Looks great doesn’t it! You will also get plenty more ideas on how to add that Farmhouse touch to your kitchen when you visit…just in this picture alone…you can add throw pillows to weathered chairs…add a vintage style dish rack filled with ironstone…a touch of shutters is always a good thing…and much much more!









Here is yet another fabulous style vintage type sign from Junk Chic Cottage…the sky is the limit with signs…add a few with a pop of color too…just have fun with it!  When you visit this link …she is going to show you how to create a Faux Brick Wall which will add a great touch of Farmhouse Charm!







Adding simple Farmhouse Vignettes is such a great way to get that homey feeling. Look how beautiful but yet simple this one from Dreamy Whites is…A collection of cutting boards…a old little craft filled with assorted sundries can create an entire story and feeling…so easy but yet so effective!  We are going to do a whole collection on Farmhouse Vignettes REALLY soon!







Miss Mustard Seed also loves to put together little vignettes of cutting board…I personally just love the look and it is so easy to do!  There is no wrong way!







Miss Mustard Seed also puts together household items and magic happens…you can do the same and remember to shop your local Thrift Shop or Flea Market for some special added touches at bargain prices.







Add a touch of French Farmhouse via Dreamy Whites with some stripped linens…this table runner transforms the table to a welcoming…comforting space in a blink of an eye. A touch this simple can mean so very much.







One more little touch from Dreamy White that can make an incredibly fabulous touch…add some chicken wire to your cabinet inserts. It really looks amazing.  If your cabinet or hutch does not have a place where you can remove glass to put chicken wire…you might consider measuring an opening and sawing the section out of the cabinet and then add the chicken wire.  It’s a great look …mix it with distressed wood and it is totally fabuolous.







A Fabulous Farmhouse Table is something that will add that cozy family look to your space in an instant! There are so many different styles out there…you will have fun finding the one that fits you…your family and your needs the best! Here are a few more for you to look at:







You can add a ton of charm by adding beautiful Canisters or Apothecary Jars to your counter space! They look totally amazing…you don’t have to use them just for flour and sugar…place your grains in there…it adds color and contrast. So quick ..easy and effective.







Vintage Style Artwork is always a fabulous touch you can add it in a flash! Just take a look at what Liz over at Love Grows Wild put together.  A featured piece of art surrounded by everyday items and it looks like a million dollars.  A really good idea for quick kitchen artwork is purchase a wonderful linen tea towel with a kitchen themed pattern or design and tack it to a pallet backdrop!  Just think of the possibilities…LOVE IT!







The wildly creative Jamie over at Anderson + Grant has a spectacular idea for Farmhouse Art…check out her Cutting Board Sign Creation and she shares the DIY!!!







Oh I am in love with how A Beach Cottage Utilizes a small space to the max. Open shelving holding all kinds of kitchenware …big wicker baskets that kitchen sundries that are not used every day but needed often…it all looks incredible…has farmhouse style and it is a space saver as a bonus.







Another great accessory that will give you tons of farmhouse charm is a Pot Rack!  Let’s face it …it’s all about the cooking in a Farmhouse Kitchen isn’t it!  The more pots the merrier.  Love this look and then there are a million others to choose from…it’s quick…easy and it gets things organized while making things look charming…it’s a win win!

Hope you enjoyed all of these Ideas!!!  Our fellow bloggers are simply Fabulous and I want to thank them all for sharing with us…go visit all of these blogs…you will have tons of FUN and you will be totally INSPIRED!
