1840 Farmhouse Kitchen 
Yes, it’s IKEA! With a lot of clever planning, a few modifications and a gorgeous slate to work with, IKEAFANS member Brickman House has put together a fantabulous IKEA kitchen. A combination of LIDINGO white and TIDAHOLM black brown coupled with NUMERAR countertops (died with India Ink on the perimeter) creates a showcase kitchen in this 19th century farmhouse.

Traditional, Elegant Farmhouse Kitchen
Says Brickman House,
This is our recent kitchen renovation, in our 1840 farmhouse. We’ve encountered a lot of disbelief that we’d chose IKEA in that setting, but we think good design is timeless, and the doorstyles lend themselves to a variety of settings. Plus the price cannot be beat– we brought the entire renovation in for under $20K.”

This is so lovely and truly timeless, congrats on an extremely elegant and fitting renovation!
A gorgeous kitchen! And I will definitely by copying your ink-dyed countertops in our remodel. We were hoping to have some soapstone and some butcher block, but have decided we can’t afford the stone just now and will do all butcher block. But if we stain the area we wanted to be soapstone it will give us the look we want. Thanks!
This has to be one of my favorite Ikea kitchens ever! So creative.
And thanks for blogging this, Susan.
Hi,
This is my first entry into IKEAworld on the web and have found that one can make an IKEA live in an 1840 home (as we have). I would like to ask if you had an IKEA contractor, where in the country you live, and if you did any of the work yourself? Congratulations on a beautiful kitchen!
i think this is one of the most beautiful kitchens i have ever seen. seriously. i would KILL for a space like that to work in, it’s beautiful!!!!
i’m curious about the part where it says you dyed the perimeters with india ink? how exactly did you do that, and why? i am moving into a rowhome in philadelphia that was built in 1915. it has a fairly small 10×10 kitchen that we will be redoing and we will be going with Ikea cabinets and probably some appliances…at least the pro-style range.
i have lots of ikea products mostly well happy! apart from farmhouse double sink underneath is a shambles always blocked plumber was there 4 hours for an hour job help im losing the wil with it any ideas
