friendly kitchen

I love this photo, it's such a friendly looking room it is.  Spacious and light, without seeking to impress.  A table to sit around with friends and a glass of wine, while preparing a meal.



I love the colours, the old sign for sparkling wine on the wall, the farmhouse table.  Big doors lead out to a terrace or straight onto the lawn., and the family dog is probably about to trot in looking for a crust of something.
This is definitely not a 'fitted kitchen', I've never seen a lamp like that on a work top, but the whole thing just comes together.  Lunch in the country.

  1. Love that ceiling and light fixture... looks like a place that you could be extremely comfortable in and spend a lot of time at. xo

  2. This - indeed - is a very inviting and cozy kitchen. I do prefer also a ´homemade´ and unique kitchen instead of those ´showroom´-kitchens without any personal touches. All things in here are beautiful. But I wonder if those chairs are really comfortable to sit in for a long time? :)

  12. This is definitely my dream kitchen. I love how comfortable it looks but has a lovely style element as well. I wonder where you could buy that picture?
    I found your blog through Dash's French Sampler and thought I'd pop by and take a look. I'm glad I did :-)

  13. Sharon, you have touched on something that I have given a lot of thought too. I saw a photo of a kitchen similar to this...it was lovely and had that wonderful warm family feel. They type of kitchen you never want to leave. One of the things the decorator mentioned to create the ambiance was to place a table lamp somewhere close by...and she was right. I did that recently and it took my white austere kitchen to another level. Unfortunately, Mr H thought I was nuts and someone would probably trip over the cord and you can guess where the rest of the conversation went from there. Granted, it was his Grandfather's china lamp, an antique and irreplaceable...but it looked so sweet in that spot. So...after all that, yes, I agree and I love this photo!

    Hope you have a great day Sharon!!
    Jeanne :)
