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.

DISCLAIMER: My husband and I recently bought a neglected 34-acre farm with several barns, buildings, and a two-story farmhouse. Our plans are to restore the farm and farmhouse to its former glory all while adding our own individual style and design. We decided to vlog the entire renovation process for our own personal records and for future generations. We are in no way experts in renovating nor do we claim to be professionals. All Lewis Acres Homestead videos are for entertainment purposes only. We recommend you always consult professional experts when completing any home renovations and wear proper protective gear.

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.
I love love the wall & painted white w/the shelf behind the stove.

Thank you so much! I love having the extra wall space now.
I think I would have painted those studs to match the light red brick so it would "disappear," and then hang whatever shelving you would want from the studs.
Love it! I loved the brick but I totally would need the space, too!! So pretty!

Wow - I was surprised to hear you were covering up the brick. I understand your reasoning and having the wall be more functional. It does look good. I like the shelf and that you hung the chimney medallion back. Nicely done!

It was such a hard decision to make! I contemplated it for months. Thank you so much!
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!❤

Another exposed brick and wood lover, but I understand why you covered it. It looks really nice and cohesive with the rest of the kitchen. And having space for a shelf is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing all the projects to come. Blessings!

Only thing I would have changed was to make that shelf light gray to match the wainscoting below.

It must just be the shadows making it look gray but its not. The entire kitchen is the same color as the shelf.
I love it, what a difference covering the brick, as much as I love brick, the kitchen, in my opinion looks so much cleaner and streamline. I’m so jealous of the breadboard you scored, it’s beautiful. Anyways great job. 🌷🇨🇦

I thought you were going to leave the little framed area with the chimney cover open to the brick 😞. You folks sure work hard!

That beadboard turned out so well - a great example of reusing older materials. I liked the brick texture and colour, but of course hard to clean. That shelf is a perfect big size over your stove 💖💕🇨🇦

I love exposed brick too but the wood studs kind of spoiled the look and seemed like it would be hard to keep clean. But you have to live with stuff and see and you made a great choice because it looks beautiful.

The copper tea kettle… does it work? Do you use it or is it just more for decoration? I’m curious, because I have the same kettle and I’m wondering if you use yours because I have not used mine yet…
