Cottage Farmhouse Kitchens – Inspiring In White
My love for white kitchens inspired this collection of white kitchen projects in a variety of styles, with some of my favorite features! Looking for inspiration and ideas for a white kitchen with a farmhouse sink, or a wood ceiling? Perhaps wood beams, a soapstone counter or mix of both rustic and refined finish is to your taste? Me too!
What is it about a white kitchen? Cottage, Classic… Farmhouse. Doesn’t matter. If it’s a kitchen… and it’s white, you can be pretty sure I’ll love it. Throw in dark wood floors… and I might jump up & down a little. Add marble or soapstone counter tops and I’ll probably squeal so high, only your dog will hear!
I realized just how much I really do adore the “white” kitchen look when I was looking over my Kitchen Love Pinterest board and noticed almost every single kitchen I’ve got pinned has an overwhelming, if not all white palette.
When we bought our current home, we were working with a contractor. And… let’s just say that did not go very well. When the dust settled, we were left with a greatly reduced budget.
After “parting ways” with the bad man. lol. My husband, my dad & I, ended up renovating our home ourselves. I had planned and saved for specific features and finishes throughout our home, but due to our greatly reduced budget, I was forced to make hard choices — kitchen included, based on price and not so much on what I wanted, which even then was a white kitchen.
While we went as light as possible and I’m thankful for what we have… I still daydream in white.
Now I’d like to share some of my very favorite white kitchens with you:
They inspire. delight… and make my heart light. The following two kitchens boast soapstone counters. The chunky, rustic beam in this one is amazing!
We had a beamed ceiling at the last house, there were more… but they were definitely not as fabulous as the one above! Below are a few old pictures from way before I was blogging.
Back to the Soapstone…
This one’s got it, plus so many more elements I adore. Subway tile, open shelves, matching farm sink. De-lish!!!
The open shelf style cabinet over the window is a beautiful touch.

Good old country chic doesn’t get much fancier than that. It definitely outshines most urban designs I’ve ever seen.
