French Country Farmhouse Style Breakfast Nook Reveal
If you have been following along with our French Country Cottage fixer upper, then you remember the kitchen during the before tour.
Very tiny. Very crowded.
Here is the dining area.
A wall separated the kitchen from the family room.

Good bye wall!
I built breakfast nook benches for our fir wood table.
These benches are very easy to build, and a DIY tutorial on how to build these nook benches can be found here!
Decorative paneling on the bench is up. Flooring is down!
Installed the reclaimed brick. Post to come soon on this process as well. Grueling work to cut two skid loads of brick, but the end product was totally worth it!!
Grouting the brick! That Pottery Barn chandelier is my favorite light fixture we have bought at our 3 fixer uppers to date. It will be coming with us when we build Our French Country home if it’s no longer in stock!

And finally, one of my favorite views in the house.
I cannot wait to show you the whole kitchen! We still have some small finishing projects to complete, but it will be worth the wait!!
By the way, those two farmhouse styled kitchen benches were only $70 on Amazon.
Ahhh, can you smell the pumpkin candle?? I force myself to wait until the first week of October to put up all of my fall decorations. I shouldn’t be sweating when setting up pumpkins and #allthefall decor. Almost there!!!
Stop by again soon to see the kitchen!
Pin any of the images below for later!
Wow – this is fabulous Ahna! And I’m so impressed that you did it yourself! I just came over from Tuesday Turn About, and I’ll definitely be subscribing and following and liking and commenting. In fact I almost forgot to comment on this one, I was so excited to move onto your next post. 🙂 Thanks for the great inspiration!
Barbara you are so sweet! Thank you. I am thrilled to have you join in our adventures!!
Hi Ahna!
I’m stopping back by to let you know you’re one of my features this week at Homestyle Gathering. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope to see you at the party this week.
Thanks Kim.
Wowza, that looks fantastic! Love the brick. Glad you didn’t skimp out and put up fake brick wallpaper which sounds like something I’d do. Enjoy your new space. And what a good momma to let the little’s write on the wall. Good memories. 🙂
Thanks Cindy!
Oh my goodness, Ahna!
Great makeover! The brick wall makes the perfect background for your cozy nook. I don’t blame you for holding on to that chandelier – beautiful! What a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal with the family. I do hope you’ll be sharing this at Homestyle Gathering! Have a wonderful day!
