If you guys have been following me, then you may know that I recently built a home and I have shared some details of my farmhouse kitchen. It's been a few years, and I'm still fine tuning things in the house! So, I'm updating this post with more recent photos.

My kitchen cabinets are shaker style in a linen color. Because I did white countertops and white backsplash, I wanted a little contrast with our cabinets. I did a white quartz countertop, that I really like. It wasn't my first choice, but we did this during Covid, so my first choice was not available, to say the least. But, I am happy with what I have now!

The first thing I'm sharing is my cake dome. It literally lives on my island, as we always have baked goods in the house and it keeps things super fresh up here at high altitude. Right now, there's coffee cake in there! My cake dome is a gray marble bottom with a glass top, and I've linked it here. If you live in a dry climate, then having a dome is essential! I cannot stress that enough! If you like baking soft and chewy cookies and want them to stay that way for days, put them in a dome. Cakes can be cut and left in a dome, and still retain their moist and fluffy texture. Plus, you can also use it for homemade muffins, breads, and scones!

My Caraway pans are below, and I have the cream colorway. I love them, and I use them daily. If you are looking for nontoxic cookware that is also gorgeous, then these are what you want! They have other colors besides the cream, so you can buy what fits in your kitchen. Shop them here.

We recently got an Air Fryer and it's amazing! I cannot stress that enough! And if you've been thinking of getting one, but not sure which one to get, then you should get the one I have because I am super happy with it. I have the Cafe Appliance Air Fryer so it matches my oven and I love this! It has so many settings and you can even bake cookies in it!

I also have the Cafe Toaster, which I love! It matches everything and it fits so nicely on the counter right in the corner by the air fryer and it doesn't take up too much space!

We recently got the Cafe Appliance Matte White Dishwasher that matches my oven. At first, I had a Kenmore stainless steel dishwasher that matched the fridge. However, it literally looked dirty all the time! Literally all the time, and we keep a very clean house and we don't have kids. It was bothering me constantly. The matte white stays so much cleaner, because you can't see finger prints or water marks! I highly recommend.

We recently upgraded to the Cafe 4 Door Refrigerator. This is the largest size they make in the matte white. And I am obsessed with this! When first built the house, the kitchen designer put the fridge against the wall so we couldn't have a French door refrigerator. We had a classic stainless steel top fridge bottom freezer so the door opened to the left.

But, this summer we finally fixed that issue. We had to add a spacer on the wall so the fridge door would open. Then we added bigger uppers since we got a bigger fridge. And, we also added an additional 3 foot cabinet and butcher block countertop on the left. Delaney had to paint our cabinets because they discontinued the color, which made this project much more work. But, it was totally worth it!

We also just got the Cafe Espresso Machine to match everything else! I use this every day and I love it. The matte white stays so much cleaner than stainless steel because you can't see finger prints or water marks. We have very hard water here, so I was constantly cleaning out stainless steel fridge and coffee maker. So I'm very thankful for the upgrade!

My vase is also one of my new favorite things! I've linked it here. You can also find my cookbooks here.

We have gone through like six different kitchen rugs since moving in. Mainly, since we got John John as I like white rugs, and he seems to constantly pee on it, throw up on it, or even one time he pooped and ran back in the house and Delaney didn't check his butt. He sat on the rug as I was washing dishes, and got poop all over it, and that one we had for a total of one week. So, I finally came to my senses and bought a washable rug, haha. It took me a while to find a white/tan color one that I liked, but I'm obsessed with this one now! My rug is linked here.

I recently got a new mixer too. I used to have black, then stainless steel, but I now have white to match everything! The white mixer really helps when shooting video too, which is why I made the switch.

So now, I have an awesome white KitchenAid mixer that matches my fridge and my dishwasher. I also felt having all my appliances white was a cleaner look. Plus it makes my kitchen feel brighter! We did the black reclaimed wood for the hood vent, and it's a great pop of dark color. But that's a really easy way to brighten up your kitchen if you're looking for a change – replace dark appliances with lighter ones, or remove things off the counter in general.

I currently have the Cafe Appliance Dual Fuel Double Oven, and it's a dream! I love my Cafe oven, and it was on backorder for well over a year, but it was worth the wait! I love having the double oven as I use the top so often as I'm usually just baking one thing. It heats up really quickly, and I don't feel like I'm wasting heating up the whole oven just to bake some cookies. And, it also allows me to bake dinner and dessert at the same time! So, if you're thinking of a double oven, do it!

I've had these bar stools since day one, and I couldn't be happier with them even a whole year later! I got them at Target and I would highly recommend them! They are comfortable and they clean very well. I've also linked all my other stuff below. And if you have any questions on where I got things, just shoot me an email – nothing makes me more happy than shopping or helping people shop!
