It only took 25 years but the Barefoot Contessa AKA Ina Garten has finally renovated her kitchen and it looks stunning. Ina revealed sneak peaks of her new kitchen on Instagram, captioning “I gave myself a project of renovating my kitchen, which I hadn’t done for 25 years!! I built my dream pantry and bought my favourite Lacanche stove.”
Ina’s kitchen in her gorgeous East Hampton home has been the anchor of her shows for years.

But everyone’s favourite coastal grandmother has decided to retire her decor of two decades and opt for a more chic, modern look and feel. Ina is a timeless treasure, so it’s no surprise her taste in decor would be the same. Read on for everything we know so far.

Ina built a custom pantry
With so much cooking going on, we’re thrilled to see she was able to build the pantry of her dreams. Outfitted with tons of storage space for plates and dinnerware, it’s like walking into Mary Poppins’ bag.

Before the renovation, Ina had gorgeous dark countertops that added depth to the look of the kitchen. Ina has now opted for a neutral white/grey marble countertop that easily brightens up the room. We can only imagine how much fun Ina will have photographing her food on these new chic counters.
