You bought a "modern" tract house with nice wood-tone cabinets. You cannot turn it into "farmhouse" by adding stuff, signs, or painting the wood. Better to replace the tiled bar top with something like this

I would actually start editing what you have. I would remove the articles in the glass door cabinet to the right of the sink. I would feature more country farmhouse style pottery. I would clear off the fridge and the counter tops. Move your KitchenAid mixer or cover it with a fabric cover.
The pendant lights over the island and dining area plus the roof angles seem more modern so you need to make the area more sleek. Strip it down and then add a statement farmhouse piece. Remove all the small stuff.

I agree with slab, but want to add on to that. I would also replace the bar stools with something a bit more updated to reflect the modern part of it.

Like these.

For the lights above the bar and in the kitchen I would try using maybe oil brushed bronze metal instead of stainless steal, which has a more modern look to it.

The main point is to un-clutter, and have only one or two items that say farmhouse. Right now the kitchen is very busy and it's hard to tell what style you are going for.

I guess it's hard because I also want to be able to live in my kitchen if that makes sense. I can work on uncluttering. But I would still really like something up top and is there a way to replace the clear plastic with something else so you can't see through it?

I agree with keeping the cabinet tops clear. The most I would put up there is maybe a shallow basket on the cabinet over the fridge. Anything behind the glass cabinet doors should be simple. For mine, everything behind the glass is white...bowls, cake stands, pitchers...but not too much.

HomeDepot makes a window film that you can apply to your glass cabinets but why? It’s a nice feature, just unclutter a bit. Are you in love with the kitchen sign? It’s obvious it’s a kitchen. Maybe another saying but if you really like it definitely keep it.

Ha I didn't realize how clutter I have become.

First get rid of all those pendants .... too many "things" hanging from the ceiling find cool mason jar light that is on a single mount

Also change the trims of your recessed lights to white so they will blend into the ceiling. That will reduce the cluttered feeling of the ceiling.

Unlike others - I don't mind things on top of the cabinets - but edit... the large kitchen sign and then 3 things - no more.

Change the cabinet hardware - see if you can get a matching molding ( top and bottom ) so the cabinets will look slightly more finished. See if you can remove the grids on your glass doors - this may require cutting them out and then touching up where the cut was made - right now they look very traditional..

If it's in your budget , change the countertops. I am not a fan of the 2 level top, but it looks like the microwave cabinet would have to be rebuilt in order to level it out ( or you can cut the knee wall down and just leave the end piece higher where the microwave is.

Put something interesting on the back of the wall where the stools are - some reclaimed lumber or interesting tile....

You can also try painting a different color in the eat in area and the ref wall - or do a ship lap. I would change the lights over the table as well - too traditional.

Maybe look into some of the faux beams...

You can't fully achieve that because the house is not designed that way - you have an arched window and the arched passthrough into the eating area so you are fighting with the structure. Do small things that aren't costly and keep building on that...

Here's some pictures with wood stained cabinets so you don't have to paint yours

I hope you have fun with your project!!

Kendra, I was confused...the clear plastic is on the cabinet glass?

Everytime I look at your kitchen pics, the black recessed can lights jump out at me. Any possibility of swapping them out for white ones?

The lighting is the problem. Nothing will ever say modern farmhouse until your fix the lights. This is what I would do: only 2 pendants over the peninsula, and a large table lamp on the counter (where your fruit tray is currently) to bring in a cozy feel. Replace the lights above your table with 1 fixture. No white-silver combo in the lights. If you want to decorate the cabinets tops, I would remove the "kitchen" sign and add a very limited amount of baskets that flow together. Arrange your counter top appliances, plants and decor into groupings, rather than space them evenly. Your cabinets are great for farm look. I would add a grouping of white pottery under the corner cabinet on the right side of your sink. A nice rug (that isn't busy) would be great in front of the sink. Good luck!

Massive amounts of signs and useless “decor” crapola doesn’t make anything farmhouse. Get a chicken coop if you want a farmhouse. And get rid of the 2010 crapola.

Thank you to everyone who helped. I am going to start looking stuff up. I am going to definitely look at lights. And I happen to like my crapola lol just may need to place it somewhere else.

It is just plastic on the cabinets. There is no film on it.

The clutter of can lights and pendants on the ceiling is the first thing to tackle. Paint could remedy some of that. Personally, I'd remove the two little cabs full of clutter and leave the walls flanking the window blank, or tile all around it. Painting cabs white can help you achieve a more mod farmhouse kitchen. I'd want to remove the tile countertop for something else. Grout lines are always full of germs. New bar stools will help, as would a white fan or just a chandelier in the adjoining den/family room.

What about this? it looks so naked.

It doesn't look naked to me at all. If you want items above the cabinets, don't line them across. Simple groupings are better. Nothing hanging on the door. However, it's really all about what looks good to YOU.

Doesn't look naked.... although I do miss your kitchen sign! I don't mind the thing on the door but it is hanging too high...

Remember.... this is your space... so if you really like a lot of stuff on top of your cabinets, then so be it.

There were other things suggested to help you with the space....

Enjoy!
