Kitchen Counters: Style Them Like A Pro

Kitchen countertops can lend themselves to being a perfect canvas for styling and decorating. I absolutely love styling my kitchen counters. Let’s face it, for those of us with a passion for decor, even if you have a small kitchen, it is a decent sized area that you get to style and decorate. That said, you need space to prepare meals, so the key is finding the balance between beauty and function.

Most of my accessories are kitchen items. From fruit bowls to cake stands, I try to decorate and style with items that make sense in the room and appear as if they belong. Containers are a good example of this. Trays, canisters, and bowls are a lovely way to store and display items.  Think of the possibilities. Utensils and fruit are two things I am always using. What are your go to items?

I also try to use my decor in unique ways, such as the cake stand as a plate holder you will see below. Try to implement something unexpected to keep a fresh, current look. When done properly, your kitchen counters will work seamlessly with the items you chose to style them with.

And now for a tour…

    Where did you get your cutting boards?

    • Jennifer says

      March 20, 2016 at 4:04 pm

      Hi Beth! I found the cutting boards at a small antique shop in Spring, Texas, but they are not antiques. I found a similar one online and put a link to it in this blog post. You will see the picture of it with a few other items in a small strip halfway through the post. If this one isn’t right for you, check back from time to time because I’m actively looking for the source for these and I will share it when I find it. I hope this helps!

      • Mary says

        I live near Spring, TX. What little shop did you find the cutting boards in? Thanks!!

        • Jennifer says

          March 21, 2016 at 7:43 pm

          Hello again Mary! It is in Old Town Spring on the main road. If you are facing Thad’s, it is a few down on the left. Without going back and looking for it, I don’t know how to get the name. I hope this helps!!

    Where did you get the unique vase with the stand?

    • Jennifer says

      March 24, 2016 at 8:07 pm

      Hi Brittany! It’s from Pottery Barn, but I’ve had it for over ten years. I am actively searching for a similar one because so many people have asked about it. Check back here or on my Instagram from time to time if you like.

    Your home is beautiful! What color are your kitchen walls , and if the color is the same as your master bedroom?

    • Jennifer says

      Hi Diana! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog and for your kind words. Our paint is actually a custom blend. It looks light taupe in person. I hope this helps!

    Hi, I love love love your brick backsplash. Where did you end up finding your bricks? Wondering where I should shop to create a similar look? Thanks kindly, Kayla

    • Jennifer says

      July 7, 2016 at 5:28 pm

      Hi Kayla! Did you just leave me a question about the brick on Instagram? I hope so because I can’t find it and I wanted to answer you. It is by Acme. I don’t know the color name. It was discontinued during the months our house was under construction and I knew I couldn’t get more, so I didn’t save that information. I do have a closeup shot that is very close to the true color of the brick, so let me know if you would like me to send it to you via email. xoxo, Jennifer

        Hi Jennifer- We are currently looking for a similar brick backsplash, neutral but with some color variation. Would you mind sending me any information you have on yours? I would love to see a close up photo! Thank you so much- your home is gorgeous!

        • Jennifer says

          February 22, 2018 at 12:55 am

          Thank you Natalie. Unfortunately, our brick has been discontinued for several years. There is some ind=formation about it in the post below though. It also includes some close ups. Hope this helps!

    • Jennifer says

      The countertops are granite.

    Is there a resource post about your back splash? I love the brick.

    • Jennifer says

      July 22, 2018 at 10:31 pm

      Unfortunately the brick our builder used was discontinued several years ago. I only know it was by ACME. So sorry!
