Once upon a time, the author of The Enchanted Home dreamed of creating a forever home to incorporate favorite architectural and timeless design styles and provide a breathtaking backdrop for memory making. As the dream unfolded, she brought a legion of blog readers like moi along for the ride, and that is how the lovely shop for homewares and site “The Enchanted Home” were born. I’m lucky to call her friend and had the pleasure of interviewing her. It’s an oldie but goodie so let’s revisit Enchanted Home Kitchen: French Country Kitchen Ideas to Inspire, which spotlights a special interior within this glorious home!
Tina’s Enchanted Home: French Country Kitchen Ideas to Inspire
If you follow Tina’s IG or blog, then you know she creates inspiring posts which weave together stories from her life, work, passions, and whims.
The Enchanted Home grew into a busy successful brand with a shop and E-design services, yet Tina’s hospitality and blog continue to be a warm, engaging space on the internet. (Just before she moved from this home, she shared this peek!)
Isn’t it charming with all of the contrast (rustic wood beams with pristine kitchen cabinets and elegant lighting!
So much fine craftsmanship and interior design planning went into this grand space with a French accent! Let’s explore it in more detail.
Building a French Kitchen in Her Dream Home
Her inspiring French inspired home…I thought the long year it took to build our own French Country home in 2007 was a long time, but Tina’s grand French chateau (above) took more than 3 years of patient, loving craftsmanship to bloom.
It has brought so many of us joy to watch Tina’s home, blog, and business flourish, and because she loves to cook and entertain, she treats us to the smartest menu ideas and hospitality hints.

Why I just had to share lovely details within Tina’s kitchen…Lately, the emails have been streaming in with questions about how Tina’s exquisitely crafted kitchen came to be.
Hello Lovely’s audience of interior design professionals and home decorators desire to have the veil lifted to reveal details and secrets behind the design. Who can blame you? I’m forever curious too!

Let’s ask our questions about the details and sources within Tina’s French Country kitchen in the comments at the end of this post.
We will allow Tina to respond as she wishes to enlighten us about some of the key ingredients in the design of this amazing kitchen!
Before and After Construction
When this French Country kitchen was taking shape, Tina’s readers were treated to a front row seat to the construction and progress. Let’s peek at the before and afters to appreciate all of the hidden details and layers involved in the creation of the kitchen.
(Above) Wire from kitchen cabinets: Heathcast of the UK. Pattern: Diamond Regency grill in bronze finish. (This brand may not have a web presence at the moment.)
Notice how there is a charming mix of metals including brass, bronze, and more. Such details instantly suggest age. Hard to believe it’s a new build!
Blue and white is Tina’s signature, and The Enchanted Home bloomed into a shop to spread love for it (plus a variety of lovely homewares!).
So beautiful even before the finishes were finished!
Do you love the oversized marble tiled backsplash. Our eyes get so accustomed to seeing the traditional 3×6 size!
Traditional and Timeless Kitchen Design
So much to admire here including the gorgeous balloon shades, floral arrangements, topiaries, and the natural materials which feel so authentically rich and full of character.

I didn’t know that “The Enchanted Home” is such a great inspiration for a country-themed kitchen. My mom wants our kitchen to look elegant to increase the house’s value before selling it. My sister suggested buying country kitchen decors online and shared this article with her.

Thanks for reading. 🙂
I love Tinas white upholstered counter stools. Can you find out the brand. I thought they were Vanguard but I couldn’t find them on their website.
Thank you for your assistance

Let me see if I can find out – it has been nearly a decade since the kitchen was designed so it might be tricky. I’ll circle back with any info! Thanks for reading. 🙂
I’m just in love with these paint colors shown in the four sample can photo. Is there any way I could get the color information?? I would be so grateful!!
Author
Hi there. While I’m not certain of the exact colors – they are Farrow & Ball, and here are my guesses: the khaki/tan: STONY GROUND; putty: SHADED WHITE; grey: MOLE’S BREATH; creamy/pale yellow: POINTING. You can buy samples here: https://rstyle.me/+C5fb4wuXizdGEyYfZxNERw
Do you have any idea what material was used for the range hood?
Author
You could message Tina of The Enchanted Home on IG – she is a gracious friend. I’ll try to find out as well and circle back here.
I love the color of the cabinets, anyway I can get a response on what color they are ? Thank you 🥰
Author
They are custom cabinets so no paint color to share – the color resembles Benjamin Moore’s Linen White with a coffee brown glaze.
Hi Michele! I love the beautiful bathroom wallpaper! Any idea the brand?
Thanks! 🙂

Not sure which wallpaper you are seeing – your comment is showing up with a kitchen post. Feel free to screenshot and email me. 🙂
where did the wood ceiling beams come from? Gorgeous home!! thanks
Author
Quite sure it’s all custom or reclaimed wood – this home was completed around 12 years ago.
Hi,
Any idea where she purchased the bell jar pendants?
Thank you
Author
Hi there. I feel like she used to sell them through her shop at The Enchanted Home, but I checked and didn’t see any. These are my favorites: https://rstyle.me/+6VhueCtiaj7kyzLzAXrHZQ and here’s one from Hudson Valley Lighting: https://rstyle.me/+F2BuuxZqzvJMTo5A7PGvEA
