Lemon Farmhouse Kitchen

Most of the rooms in our house do not have a decor theme, but there was something about the lemon farmhouse kitchen trend that I just wanted to jump on! Maybe it was because I love yellow. Maybe because I love lemons. Who knows?!

Our kitchen is in the works… meaning we want to update it so badly but we’re learning to have patience while our budget figures out how to match our goals. So, in the meantime, I just try to give it a little boost with whatever decor I can.

I really fell in love with the lemon theme. Maybe it was because it brought life into the kitchen. Or because it makes our kitchen feel fresh and clean. Either way, I love what it does to our outdated kitchen. I hope it inspires you to add a little fresh yellow into your home. Lemon fresh, of course.

One of the things that made me fall in love with our house when we were house hunting was the unique features of our kitchen.

Yes, it’s outdated and I dream of the day when we finally remove that scalloped edging above the windows… BUT, I love all the little shelves and the small touches that give our kitchen character.

We plan to update the kitchen in time and we’ve discussed getting new cabinetry but I would be so sad to see some of these features taken away. You don’t often see shelves framing the windows, a custom spice cabinet, or the rounded shelves at the end of the cabinets in updated kitchens.

So when we do finally get the chance to update, I hope we find a way to make the space modern without removing the character.

Decorating this space has been a challenge for me. I love the unique features, but it can be challenging to see the big picture when I mostly see all the updates we want to do. I do my best to show the beauty and hide the outdated. It’s been a challenge for sure, but in the end it pays off.
