Kitchen

Copper, glazed earthenware and shelves with a story.

A French country kitchen comes alive through everyday objects: a confit pot, kitchen scales, glass jars and pale dishes. Put favorite pieces where you can enjoy their shapes. Copper adds a warm gleam; stoneware and wood soften its reflections. Decorative antique cookware is not automatically suitable for cooking.

The Kitchen with a Butcher Block

Gascon Farmhouse

Keep the butcher block clear of the sink and cabinet doors so it works as a central island. Group decorative pots at one end to leave a usable preparation surface.
