Country kitchen reveal of our farmhouse in France 

According to Feng Shui, the cook stove is one of the important elements for good health and a happy home. It cooks your nutritious food, it warms your house, and it is a central “hearth” (heart) to your family gatherings. You’ve picked a beauty! The fact that it is of excellent quality, and also a local specialty, makes it even more of a treasure. I like your local stone used for the sink and countertop. And I like your choice of tiles for the backsplash. This is a natural and timeless look. You have great taste in decorating and your husband seems to be a very talented builder/craftsman.

I am just now seeing your cook's cottage kitchen reveal, and I think you've done a wonderful job, making the right choices for a cohesive and interesting kitchen. I love the natural wood floating shelves, the small light fixtures, and the stove and backsplash tiles. The overall neutral shades are pleasing.

Congratulations on creating an amazing, comfortable, inviting space. You did a beautiful job!

Everything in your kitchen just shouts French farmhouse. I love the use of neutral colors and natural or distressed wood. I love the coffee service sitting out for guests to make themselves at home. It is such an inviting space…like a warm blanket, a reading nook, a family gathering, comfort food. You’ve created a welcoming cottage.

Rich, Warm and Cozy...I absolutely love the space you and your husband have created. Thank you for sharing your process. ❤

Just beautiful. So in keeping with the style of the Farmhouse. Love the color palette - I noticed we even have one of the same PINS - the white ceramic cutting boards in a wood box 😀. The counters and LaCanche - perfect choices! Anyone will be lucky to stay here. Merci for the tour!

What a wonderful surprise!! Yes, I've been dying to see the final results of your kitchen project and it is so beautiful. Your kitchen is wonderful! I love the calming and peaceful colors and all details match perfectly to your old house style. Congratulations to both of you, great job! Thank you for charing. It's a great inspiration project. I love it!! Blessings from México.

Thank you for explaining how you use Pinterest to formulate the design. Kitchen is great, nice traditional feel. I Bookmarked the stove since we will be renovating the kitchen next year. Always enjoy your thoughtful well planned videos. It takes a lot of effort and I appreciate that!

Omg! Absolutely beautiful. It is such a calming and peaceful environment. So all done guys. You make an awesome team.

Very Lovely. Love It all! the concrete surround.The fabulous, dreamy range. Natural brass faucet. I appreciate your color pallet of neutral colors, natural wood. Very calming. You are blessed with your incredible talented hubby. Anyone would be thrilled to stay in this cottage. The only item that stands out not fitting is the tall Ikea cabinet with cubicles. Perhaps I can stay at your property some day when you are set up for hosting. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

The kitchen is warm, inviting and spectacular. It will be wonderful for guests. The work done and the attention to detail are obvious. Things are really coming together and you and Olaf should be so proud of your accomplishments so far. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas as well for the rest of us.

Amazing results. An inviting and practical space. And that stove is the chef's kiss!

I love it Marloes .. you’ve styled it perfectly & I love the soft neutral colours 💕

The limestone countertop with an integrated sink was a brilliant choice. Everything about this space is perfection!

The kitchen is beautiful, love the colors and how it all comes together. I also love the oven you chose. You have made a big impact on a small space. Great job to both of you. Very inspiring and a great video. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I loved everything about your choices for this kitchen. The stove is especially amazing. The tile backsplash is perfect. Thankyou for sharing your proccess.

Your kitchen is so beautiful I didn't even notice the brackets until you pointed them out

Absolutely beautiful and so inspiring!

Love the simplicity and the colors

Yay been waiting for you to share. ❤❤❤❤ we love the naturally soft aesthetic of your design choices!

love your home all the soft natural colors and elements

I love the stove! It is the most beautiful one I have seen! I also love the pot on the stove! Thank you for sharing!

We renovated our houseboat. I originally wanted butcher block counter tops..But, was more money than I wanted to spend. I wound up using 2x6 pine wood boards for countertops. Sanded well and left natural. Then sealed with a polyurethane that you brush on. And brush on several layers and sanded in between. They came out amazing. And love the small darker knots in the wood as well. And on a wide bar top we used 1x4 as a skirting around it. And added small lighting under bar on the seating side. The lights are battery operated and mostly used if the power goes out in the area during a storm. Because I also have a shelf space under there for lanterns and flashlights etc. Solar battery and weather radio. All tucked away next to the wall.

You and Olaf did such a great job! It's a beautiful kitchen ❤️ The colour scheme is very calming and I think it's always a good idea to choose neutral colours for expensive items that will be there for years to come; that way if you feel like painting the walls or the cupboard a different colour, those items will still work in the space. I personally love the visible shelf brackets; they are charming alongside the rustic wooden shelf and the Digoin pieces. I loved hearing about your process, which is so different to mine. I always see what I want projected into the space as a whole. What's funny is, the more run down and neglected the space, the easier I manage to see ideas in my mind. Well done again Marloes! 👏

A Beautiful and inviting space. It was helpful to hear about your process. I love the open storage spaces rather than cabinets!

I love the unfitted French kitchens ❤

Such a charming and beautiful space. I really enjoy the combination of the concrete with the tile and wood. And that range is lovely! Good job!

I have been watching your videos on living in the French country to get ideas on decor and to learn what country life might be like. This November 30, I will be moving, from the USA, into a country home outside of Moissac. It is a mini farm, 15 acres, two large barns and a trout stream. Thanks for inspiration and for the great ideas on decor and country living.

Oh Marloes. C’est tellement doux, simple et pleins d’âme. Je suis Française et vie au US et reviens enfin vivre en France. Tes vidéos sont et ont été un réconfort immense pendant cette période d’expatriation si difficile pour moi. Je découvre la Bourgogne. J’adore, j’aime tout ce que tu partages et je voulais te remercie pour le faire. J’aimerais beaucoup te suivre sur Pinterest si c’est possible? , je l’utilise aussi c’est mon jardin secret ♥️ much love

What a gorgeous kitchen. Yes Olaf talented. Everything you chose including brackets are practical n white is great choice. Love your taste. Suzanne in Montana

Everything looks so beautiful! I love it all but I really love the Lacanche range.😍 I’d love to get one too in the near future. TFS friend!

That's how I find things as well. I go for the feel of it.

As a gal of Dutch heritage, I am drawn to anything Dutch. I just discovered your channel this afternoon, a cold BC Canada winter day. I love your sense of design by feeling! I am looking forward to browsing and watching your creativity coming to life in France.

Prachtig, wat een heerlijke uitstraling heeft de keuken.

The kitchen is sooooo beautiful Marloes ! Your team make always a great job, I am impress. I love the the atmosphere , the colors, the gorgeous Lacanche and all the pretty details !

Ha Marloes, ik heb genoten van het 'kijkje in jouw keuken': douze points! Smaakvol, sfeervol, rustgevend, functioneel, mooi. Alles klopt. Reken maar dat er volgers zijn die jullie keuken na gaan maken. En terecht. Groetjes uit Eindhoven, met een 13-in-een-dozijn-keuken ;-))

Leuk dat jullie voor materialen en apparatuur vanuit de nabije omgeving hebben gekozen! Het is een plaatje! ❤

I’m in love with lacanch range but lives in the us and besides the price of the stove you have to get someone who has experience to service and set it up.. but honey the place turned out like a kitchen I’ve been dreaming about for awhile now. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Wednesday you and family ❤❤❤❤

Your Kitchen looks Beautiful , Great Job .

So beautiful and simple.

Bonjour French Country Life. Excellent video as always. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and garden and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me and the family.😎😎🌹🌹🌻🌻

Beautiful! ❤

Lovely kitchen - perfect simplicity but classy too! Thank you for sharing!

Really beautiful and nice work!

Hi I am new to your channel!!! Wow what a great job in design and workmanship, I am looking forward to watching all your changes to your new home. Thank You for sharing.

Ik vind jullie keuken geweldig mooi 🤎🤍 Ik zou hem zo in mijn eigen huis willen plaatsen🤎🤍 Echt geweldig gedaan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

c'est beau chaleureux et réconfortant

Beautiful!

The whole space looks great. It will make a fantastic holiday gîte. Thanks a lot for sharing the details about the Lacanche range and how they can be customized in terms of colours, handles, sizes, etc. I really want a classic country stove/range for the kitchen in my forever home in France. Now I will definitely look into buying a customized Lacanche gas stove/range.

Taking an idea and turning it into reality with craftsman like quality...nice ideas Marloes and GOOD work Olav, even though it cost you an elbow, hope it's better...from a retired construction & residential remodeling carpenter.

Amazing

So happy to see this lovely kitchen as I am about to create a small space like this. The Lacanche is the 🌟 and all your finishes are perfection..especially the faucet! Will you be sharing sources? We share a lot of the same images pinned and I would love to follow your pinterest too Beautiful!

I LOVED this video. I approach a project like this the same way. But because I'm older than you, I've done it for years but cut pictures out of magazines instead. I collect pictures even when I'm not planning anything at the moment. I think you have terrific taste and have to say that neutrals colors are the most difficult I guess because there are so many colors that are similar. Choosing the colors is the most difficult part and usually takes longer than the project itself. When I was doing the kitchen in my small barn in France I did those varying colored tiles and loved the effect. I had a smaller backsplash, so I splurged on this. They were a soft grayish/blue. You have a lot of energy!

Ваши видео вдохновляют! Спасибо большое!

Absolutely gorgeous!!! You guys are amazing😍👏🏻🙌🏻👊🏼❤️🙏🏻

Well done on a great job. Love the 'feel'😊👏

I love the kitchen! We are currently renovating our kitchen. We’ve been struggling with the tile selection and the oven choice they are very similar ( the tiles ) to your choice. The oven is very popular with professional cooks in the US as well. So your information was so helpful. Thank you.

Beautiful space

Absolutely beautiful!! A Lacanche range is highly coveted here in the States; maybe some day. Enjoy your beautiful space. 🧡🤎💛

I am in love with your videos, I just started watching and and I subscribed after I saw the 2nd one. What an amazing job you're doing

Absolutely love your stove! Is it possible to purchase one in the U S?? The color choices are amazing! Your work is gorgeous. I just found your channel so I am binging and having a great time! Like going to a meditation:)

Very nice relaxing kitchen

Bravo ! Pas fan des équerres blanches qui font un peu "cheap" à priori.. surtout avec les vis inox qui ressortent. Le plan de travail est vraiment fabuleux, par contre vous avez ptêt intérêt à le traiter avec un produit "bouche pores" ou hydrofuge. Je ne connaissais même pas lacanche, très jolie ! edit : 30s plus loin vous en parlez, oups !

Simply remarkable. Love it! Are the concrete cabinets popular or traditional in France?

I love your kitchen and it made me want to rent your cottage for a lovely stay.

I’m just now seeing this and I’m in love with that kitchen the design the color scheme and the space😍you see how airy light and flowy the space is, it’s beautifully done and fits so well with the French country lifestyle! I love France so much the countryside is so serene and peaceful❤people could just live in that kitchen and not need anything else! But about Pinterest, I like the idea of organizing design details and picking and choosing what you like and don’t like however for me, I have a Pinterest but I’m so scattered I mean I like Mediterranean style yet I like English country, I like the colors and vibrancy of Mexican haciendas yet I do love everything vintage French so I’m just all over the place when it comes to what I like because I can’t narrow my focus down to just one style🤦🏻‍♀️I look around and even where I live there’s no cohesiveness in decor none whatsoever it’s so awful🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Great color. Brackets fine. Maybe go with bigger appliances cause visitors will want to stay a long time. Warm feeling to the space.

I painted an under cabinet black to see if I liked it and I was surprised that it showed spills so much so no dark colors for me.

Gorgeous turned out great, I've wanted a stove like this for years, I've gone on their website but didn't see any pricing? I've been to the box stores and similar were around 4-5k is that about pricing? your choices were lovely. Like the fireplace, it looks like its always been there for a long time :-)

I heard a term recently that could describe your kitchen - "historical modern". Love it. The term was used to describe kitchen renovations in 300 year old stone houses in the US. It looks like it could have been there originally but is modern and more practical. I see you have room to add an authentic butcher block --- which is not only useful for meat.

I love it!! If I could magically move it to my house, I would do it. What are your pendant lighting fixtures called?

Hey, loved your contents, are you also in audea?

le mix du moderne et de l'ancien ...vous avez donné du "cachet" à cet espace et parfois il n'en faut pas plus pour être bien chez soi ...profitez en bien

What is the name of the cookbook with the fork on the spine!!

Is your husband a builder?

It’s lovely, but why do you call this a Cooks Kitchen? Seems like we are seeing a lot of shelves and cupboards and not much work space for baking and prepping. It’s a very nice family kitchen to me, but not a large kitchen for a Serious /professional Cook.

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the rustic simplicity and the oven is gorgeous. It will be a wonderful vacation home for people traveling to your region.

Gorgeous house! I love how cohesive it looks. Amazing job!!!

This was awesome to watch. Th get history of your farmhouse and about you and your family. It’s beautiful. Your husband is a great carpenter and you both know what kind of design you would like to have.❤

Charming kitchen. I love the feel! You may want to see if you could paint the screw heads on the shelf brackets (same color as bracket). It will blend. Enter for the eye. Lovely job. You are both so talented.

Lovely kitchen

This is a beautiful kitchen, be careful with unfinished boards for your shelves, they warp. We have some and after a couple years they really warped. They just need some kind of finishing product on them. ❤

Your husband is talented and he’s so cute 🥰

I love your counters!I ended up w wood and then Quartz around the sink . I live by myself so I figured I could be a little more careful. My backsplash is also an imitation neutral Zellige. I wish I could do a gas stove but electric is all that is allowed .

Love your tiny kitchen, it may be small but thanks to your clever design, it is very functional. Love the soothing colors and all the touches of class you have given it. Your style is comfortable.

Love the stone counter and sink! And any serious cook on these French vlogs ,has this very kitchen stove either in white or black. Your style is very organic.

😍😍😍

Bonjour ! C'est une cuisine de rêve !! Puis-je vous demander où vous avez acheté les zeliges ? Merci d'avance

Your kitchen is beautiful!

Really lovely kitchen. Great job!

Bonjour. I love your channel. I love your accent. You actually, look my late, Aunt. You even make the same expressions as she did. You resemble her, also. I believe that it is your eyes, that look like hers. You have a fabulous French accent. I am French, 83%, 😁. I'm going to be purchasing my 1st home, all by myself, very soon. It's very beautiful. I can hardly wait, to be able to decorate it, with French Country style. I have some beautiful paintings of France. I have so many Pinterest boards, that it is crazy. I used Pinterest, as therapy, in the lowest points, of my life. I thank you, for recording your whole life, especially, the trips to the thrift stores. I've always, wanted to be able to view these shops. I'm a Treasure Hunter, too. I adore your style. I plan to visit the city of Landerneau, next year, possibly. It's the city, that my 10th Great Grandfather traveled from, 300 years ago, settling in south Louisiana. Please tell me, how your name is spelled; because I can't quite understand it, because of your beautiful accent. I have a question ❓ Do you have to go grocery shopping, every day, or every two days? The reason I ask, is because the refrigerator is quite small. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I am frustrated with the tiny refrigerator. I dream about the day, when I will be in my new home and it has a tall, wide and deep, side by side refrigerator/ freezer. You've done a great job, with your kitchen, so, just ignore those who gripe about the self brackets and thank you, for not using floating shelves. They're so cold and modern. If you ever want to beautify your brackets, you can change them out, with thick, gorgeous corbels . Much love, Tamara
