I love this. All the wood and stone these days gives me a bit of a Tuscan vibe. Well...definitely European anyway. Cannot wait to see this transformation!
I can't wait..when it was done on Rock the Block I was in love.. then saw Joanna's.. more love! How exciting to be getting this in your kitchen.. and I completely agree it's a classic. European farmhouse is not just a trend.. so happy for you!
I’ve always loved a stone anything especially backsplash even before Joanna Gaines🤣I live in El Paso and I love our rock walls in our neighborhoods it looks so beautiful combined with our Mountains 💚It’s very unique here in El Paso. Can’t wait to see your backsplash.
😂 I love that! Joanna didn’t invent it but she definitely reminded me how beautiful this look is! I can’t wait to see it installed. Thanks so much for watching!
Has the Stone come in yet? Will we learn when you will begin your kitchen stone backsplash project? Hoping we can see the actual installation. Thank you for all of your hard work in sharing with us.
I was sooo excited to see this video pop up! My husband and I break ground in 3 days to build our forever home and I just told my husband this evening, that I want to do a brick or stone wall and backsplash in our new kitchen! I had pinned several of the kitchens you showed. I absolutely LOVE your home, Michelle. Joanna Gaines might be your inspiration, but you are my inspiration! Lol! Thank you so much for sharing this video and information with us. Can’t wait to see your completed project! 💗
Haven’t seen this trend yet on the East Coast where we live- and love it, too! Your kitchen sample looks beautiful and am looking forward to seeing you execute it! Love you both and your great style! Another spectacular video! Thanks!❤️❤️
Gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing it when it's complete 🙂 Question - what about keeping it clean from any food splashes? I have a glass splash back which is super easy to wipe down - I do love the stone look but keeping it clean concerns me...
Many have sent us suggestions on sealing, cleaning and maintenance. One friend says that using Eagle Natural Sealer allows it to have a matte finish but can be easier wiped down with soap and water. Thanks for watching Gail!
@@FarmhouseLiving Got to say this, there are several natural stone sealers out there that DO NOT stand up to cleaning. It might say "lasts for up to a year" on the bottle, but that is with light use and little to no cleaning. Even with mild soap and water, you could breech that sealant within months if not weeks. And with a matte finish, its hard to tell. The first sign you might have that your sealant failed would be the huge grease stain on your grout or stone. If you are wanting this look, I would suggest resealing every 3 months on high clean areas. Regardless, it is a very handsome look. But as someone who has natural stone in her kitchen, this look comes with high maintenance. So much so, I put in a 3x3 foot, large format tile behind the stove to end the cleaning headache .
Wish there were reviews and videos on just how to keep all that rough stone clean behind and around the stove. I cannot imagine trying to keep the oil, grease and food spatters that are going to get on all that textured rough stone and grout. I love this, but I cannot see that being practical unless you are going for a more primitive old look of the kitchens back in the day that kitchens looked like this. Which would mean that their would be many stains on that stone from cooking every day and most hours of the day. I am thinking over time we would just accept it as patina and character. LOL I do love the stone and/or brick walls in the kitchen and the fireplace.
