Oh my I have yet another kitchen redo that is sure to give you lots of ideas. I love the way Jamie had made her kitchen FABULOUS!! Here she is to tell us how she did it.
I’m so excited to be here today! I’m Jamie and I blog at So Much Better With Age.
I love, love, love French, vintage and industrial decor. I recently had my kitchen renovated which encompasses all three of those styles.
I’m honored to be sharing my kitchen tour with Cedarhill Farmhouse readers. Of course I absolutely adore Anita’s style and have a long time admirer of her blog.
Welcome to my white Industrial Vintage French kitchen.
When we first moved in to our house nearly six years ago, it was very 80s. We did some minor updates but I was longing for my dream kitchen.
I always wanted a large island but the floor plan didn’t accommodate one so we made the peninsula look like one.
We renovated the kitchen without changing the floor plan.
I wanted more cupboard space so made room for a sleek Sub-Zero fridge and floor to ceiling cupboards around the built-in microwave.
I love glass front doors in a kitchen. There was a bit of room to add some shelving on the side by the window as well.
I love subway tile. I know it’s been overdone like crazy lately but I’ve loved it for years so I’m good with it for a very long time.
The farmhouse porcelain sink and bridge faucet might be my all time fave part of this kitchen.
At first we didn’t tile all of these walls but in the end I decided to just do it! I couldn’t be happier with the results.
This butcher block I gave a makeover was a great Craigslist find.
The custom touches were what I worked on with my cabinet maker. I designed every little feature with him.
The eating area has just enough room for a French table and chairs.
The overall look is so white and fresh and well, French!
You can see my whole house tour here.
I hope you enjoyed my new kitchen tour. Next week I’ll be posting a source guide so be sure to pop by my blog to check out all the details.

I’ve recently found your blog. I travel to France (usually Paris) at least once a year. I’m heading back there again in March, having made many friends there over the years.
My wonderful husband sadly died from brain tumors last year, so I’m downsizing from 4,000sf and 4.5 acres. I’ll soon be closing on a 1939 small colonial that is more cottage (1700sf on half acre) than regular house.
Anyway, I’m going through your past posts and subscribed to your blog so I can gather inspiration. Thanks for all that you share.

So sorry to hear about your husband Freda. I’m glad to meet you!
So clean and fresh feeling! I especially love the sink, faucet and the table – that table is amazing! In a kitchen, it is so important to have beauty AND function. We are hoping to redo our kitchen next year as it is also stuck in the 80s, and lots of great ideas here… thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! If you need any sources, I have it listed on my blog here: http://www.somuchbetterwithage.com/2015/02/industrial-vintage-french-kitchen/

Looks beautiful! Please tell me about your counter tops. What material did you choose and why?
Thanks so much! I chose quartz because it’s more durable than carrera marble and considering I have two small kids I thought it would be worth it. I have the complete source list on my blog if you’re interested. http://www.somuchbetterwithage.com/2015/02/industrial-vintage-french-kitchen/

French…French…wonderful French…. I’m trying to incorporate little beautiful pieces into my traditional home. You guys keep inspiring me!
Thanks so much, Susie 😉

I love the open look of the “orbital globe” style French industrial look light fixtures in your post. Could you share a link to a supplier?
That is Jamie’s kitchen. She will need to answer that.
