Happy 20th Birthday to Our White Farmhouse Kitchen!
It is hard to believe our kitchen is twenty years old! We have enjoyed our White Farmhouse kitchen over the years and it is the nucleus of our home.
Today is the day! It’s the 20th birthday of our white farmhouse kitchen!
We are celebrating today because I think our kitchen has aged so well. She does not look even close to twenty!
I get asked all of the time why I designed a white farmhouse kitchen. If anything, I think a white kitchen is a safe choice. Twenty years ago when I picked this style, the “popular kitchens” had dark cupboards with dark green granite. They were so popular! But I held firm because I wanted a classic white kitchen that could have been built in our house over 100 years ago.
The kitchen is the nucleus of our home and I am most creative when I am cooking and entertaining.
The windows are original and the cabinets and island were all custom made. All of the cabinets and trim are painted Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee. The walls are painted with Farrow and Ball Cooking Apple Green paint.
We have two sinks and the large farmhouse sink is located on the back wall which overlooks our backyard. The. countertops are honed marble and the drawer pulls and knobs were from Restoration Hardware. The floors. are oak and were stained to match the rest of our floors.
So what has changed in our kitchen over the last twenty years? Practically nothing.
We replaced a dishwasher and the instant hot dispenser a few years ago. We have touched up the paint a few times and changed the canisters and some of the decor. But that is it!

I have also done a bit of organizing these past few years.
Cooking in the White Farmhouse Kitchen
I love to cook and a lot of good recipes have been made in our kitchen.
Macarons are so much fun to make. I love how perfectly these look and am thrilled they taste amazing! Cranberry Orange Scones are a delicious addition to breakfast or brunch. The combination of sweet and tart is absolutely wonderful. These crab cakes with lemon dill sauce are to die for. They aren't "fishy" and are by far the most popular appetizer anytime I make them. I use this recipe for all of my pasta dough. It works great for spaghetti, fettuccini, lasagna, and flavored pasta. I absolutely love it. This 1-2-3-4 cake recipe is so easy to make and yet it tastes and looks fantastic. This flaky pie crust is the best. The larger portions of butter are what make this crust so flaky and delicious, This sugar cookie recipe is my go-to recipe every time. It's almost flawless!My Favorite Recipes From our Kitchen
