Vintage Farmhouse Kitchen Islands: Antique Bakery Counter for Sale

January 25, 2017 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

I absolutely love it when people incorporate vintage pieces in their homes and one of the place I love it the most is when people use unique furniture for kitchen islands or bars.  It adds so much character and farmhouse charm to a kitchen when you have a focal piece like an old store counter.  Here are some amazing vintage farmhouse kitchen islands and I have one for sale that is ah-mazing!!  It is an antique bakery counter and I dream about designing a kitchen around it.  Since I cannot right now…you can!

This kitchen island almost broke Instagram & Pinterest!  Just kidding, but everyone loved it!  It has been pinned and commented on sooooo many times and I see why!  It is incredible!  Resa at The Farmhouse 31’s entire home is amazing, but this island is everything!  The one I am selling (below is similar)!

The Farmhouse 31

This old counter had a sink put in it and it looks so great in this kitchen.

Heir and Space

These next 2 pictures are an old grocery counter turned kitchen island.  It truly makes this kitchen!

Tazas & Cuentos

This amazing island is an antique candy store counter!  A new top was added to it and the rest of her kitchen was built around this amazing focal point!

The Art of Doing Stuff

I am sure most of us know this incredible kitchen!  Its from the one and only Joanna Gaines.  Her island is an communion table from an old church.  She says:

“I just love this piece because of its story and the detail. It is now the focal point and anchor for my kitchen. Once I determined where I wanted it, the rest of the kitchen fell in to place.  This island has become the character in my kitchen. I wanted to highlight it so I kept my backsplash simple, my countertops concrete, and the walls white. Even though this space is very simple I feel like the island gives it that punch of character the space needed.  If you are feeling stuck and don’t know what direction to move towards, perhaps you need to find that one thing that inspires you for the space.”

Joanna Gaines

Are you redoing your kitchen?  Building a new home?  Designing a bar area?  If so you need this kitchen island below in your life.  It is an old bakery counter and it is in incredible condition.  Like Joanna, you could design your entire kitchen around it.  I am obsessed and if we were building our house right now I would definitely be keeping it!  I love the character, the metal logo, the chippy finish, the planked top….I love everything about it!

It reminds me so much of Joanna Gaines and The Farmhouse 31’s island.  It is a robin egg blueish color with tan/cream showing through.  The top has been waxed to bring out the natural wood top.  It is 34.5″ tall, 70″ wide , 32.5″ deep.

Still has the amazing original metal logo.

Look at this beautiful finish!!

I was trying to imagine Joanna Gaines kitchen with this island so I had a little photo shop fun!

If you want this incredible statement piece in your own home email me at houseofhargrove@gmail.com and I can give you all of the details! Local pick up only.  I will be sharing more amazing farmhouse furniture for sale soon!  Stay tuned!  You can see all of my current inventory here.

When designing our home the kitchen was such an important space. We spend a lot of time in there. I wanted it to be beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorite features in our kitchen.

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I just learned that May 3 is World Naked Gardening Day 🤣 I seriously can’t believe there is a day dedicated to this, but maybe lots of people need fences 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🌱🌿

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!
