A "Stark White" Kitchen Gets a "Cozy French Country Aesthetic" Makeover
Briefly

Justine renovated her kitchen to maximize functionality and warmth. She felt the existing design was cold, with stark white cabinets and awkward empty spaces. To enhance practicality, she added a butcher-block prep table and shelving for pot storage. A new faucet also improved dishwashing efficiency. Justine incorporated warmer colors and vintage decor to create an inviting atmosphere. Improvement included addressing lighting issues with under-cabinet lights and a better overhead fixture. She personally tiled, which significantly impacted the kitchen's overall aesthetic and practicality.
Justine described the kitchen as 'kind of cold, with stark white cabinets, gray floor tiles, and dark laminate countertops.' The space wasn't used in the best way.
My biggest qualm was that there was a lot of empty real estate - the cabinetry just kind of ended, leaving this oddly shaped vacancy.
Justine created 'maximum functionality' by incorporating a butcher-block prep table and a huge wire rack shelf, enhancing practicality in her kitchen.
The colors from the butcher block and woven baskets added texture and warmth, complemented by vintage details like thrifted copper pots and family paintings.
