Farmhouse Friday # 17 – Breadboards and Dough Troughs

Welcome to the 17th edition of Farmhouse Friday!

Breadboards and dough troughs are some of the most typical tools you would find in an old farmhouse kitchen, so today we’re going to look at ways to use, display and repurpose them in today’s home!

breadboards and dough troughs

I’ve had quite a few vintage breadboards over the years, but never a truly old one, so last month I set out to make one that looked super old and well used.

You can see how I did it HERE.

  1. Thanks Angie for sharing my breadboard shelf! Great post!

  2. Love them all!

  3. Oh my goodness. What a fabulous idea. I have both. Great breadboard and dough bowl – but I have to clean my very messy kitchen in order to photograph.

  4. Such an amazing installment of Farmhouse Fridays…this series just ROCKS! I am still head-over-heels in love with the breadboard you made, Angie…I’ve seen many breadboards which have been made to mimic antique breadboards, but none as convincing as yours…it is sheer perfection, to my mind!

    That said, all of these breadboards as well as the dough bowls are lovely! The dough bowls are very functional…I love that you could use them simply to hold fruit as an ever-changing centrepiece for the table…or even dress them up for the holidays and the seasons…yet, no matter what you put in them, they retain that rustic farmhouse feel. Can’t wait for the next installment in the series! 🙂

  5. Thanks for the share, Angie! I loved seeing everyone else’s beautiful decor!! xx

  6. Thank you so much for sharing two of my projects Angie! I’m honored to be included.
