Farmhouse butler's pantry wall almost done
Comments (19)Soshh, the counters are Formica laminate, Basalt Slate in a honed finish with the Futura edge (just a basic curved top and bottom with the center part straight) for a simple look. I really like soapstone, but couldn't justify the price right now. I've always had formica in the 33 years since I've been married. Mom always had it and the kitchen in this house came with the original white formica with little gold specks in it! It was still stuck down tight and in good condition after many, many years. A couple years ago I got really tired of the gold specks, so I decided to do a dark faux finish on the top to see if I'd actually like the contrast, and I had lots of complements on it. I liked it so much I wasn't in a hurry to put in new ones (I hate making decisions!). Well, it was time, so I had to make those tough decisions and decided to just go for it. I really wanted to keep the kitchen and butler's pantry in line with the age of the house. We have original pine floors in most rooms and the original tin roof (now painted barn red), so I couldn't do anything too fancy. Here is a photo of the original counters Here is the faux finish I did to hold us over till now. Note: I WILL NOT be keeping this green wall paint. It was a wrong color choice and hurts my eyes when the lights are on (similar to how ears hurt from fingernails on blackboards :) Close up of faux finish. I like the color the green looks when the overhead lights are off, but I can't use my kitchen with the lights off :) Hey, I should tell DH that and we can just eat out! So now we have to figure out how to do the Basalt Slate Formica in the kitchen. We are keeping the old farmhouse sink, stains and all (still trying to figure out about reglazing or not). The counters are shorter and less deep than todays countertops. I definately want to keep the original cabinets, but raise the tops and make them a little deeper. I've seen this done by putting a "filler) on the top of the cabinets (they need to come up about 2 inches) then putting on a deeper counter top (ours will be about 2-3 inches deeper than original and placing a strip of crown molding underneath the new counter top to the cabinet fronts. That is how we plan to do it, but we have to figure out the sink area. We will probably have to build out a box under the window, extending the window sill a couple inches and mount the sink on the front of the box. I'll probably use white tile around that area. If anyone has any ideas on that, please chime in! Terry Terry...See MoreFarmhouse Lighting - Need Ideas

Comments (6)Connie Since you have perimeter cabinets are encasing your stainless steel appliances - then I would go with stainless steel hardware. It sounds like you are drawing attention to the black island as a focal point. For the dramatic effect you could use cooper hardware. Here are a few example pictures displaying what it might look like. I would try to incorporate the cooper color with objects in your kitchen. It could be something as simple as a cooper tea kettle on top of your stove or cooper salt and pepper shakers. cooper pendant lighting with white cabinets VILLAGE DUPLEX cooper pendant lighting with white cabinets [yorkshire construction and maintenance[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/yorkshire-construction-and-maintenance-modern-kitchen-phvw-vp~809257)...See MoreRelated Professionals
