Updating Our Unfitted Farmhouse Kitchen

We decided to cover the brick in our unfitted farmhouse kitchen. It was wasted space and we couldn't figure out how to utilize the space without it looking like too much. So we decided to cover it with beadboard and make the space match the rest of the kitchen walls.

    I am rewatching all of your videos and just falling in love all over again with the home you’re making. I’d forgotten that the brick was exposed for a while. I do love brick, but agree with everyone else (and you) that it looks so much better covered with the beadboard. Tidier, brighter, and more functional. I love the pair of pictures of the man and woman praying.

    It looks so good! I initially had hoped you would cover that brick but understood why you didn't. It just didn't work with the studs the way they were to make it usable, like you said. Your finished kitchen is so homey and pretty and roomy too! Good job guys! I know you will enjoy it for many, many years to come!❤
