Let’s grab a cup of French Roasted coffee and take a little stroll down A Parisian country side road and peek into some cottage kitchens with a Country French Flair! I hope you enjoy A Collection of Country French Kitchens! No matter what your style…these special spaces transport you to a special place…some will be old school and some with all the modern amenities…warning…after taking this little trip you will probably crave a croissant, pipping hot crusty bread and some brie!
.
.
.
Warm and inviting… with all the Old World European charm one could ever imagine.
.
.
.
The Country French Kitchen is very welcoming…a greeting that is from the heart.
.
.
.
A touch of rustic, bits of vintage and flea market finds spell out home…but the chef of this kitchen is not ruffing it by the looks of that gorgeous stove!
.
.
.
The entrance to this down stairs kitchen shows off many natural elements…do you think they heard about the new trending styles of 2013?
.
.
.
How about breaking off a hot piece of a baguette before we continue?
.
.
.
A bit of Cottage Country French…reminds me very much of my Grandmother’s style…quaint and loving.
.
.
.
Well they knew we were coming so there is a little a little treat waiting for us…those shabbied cabinets are yummy too…
.
.
.
Let’s enjoy our treat here…this room is rustic… natural and kissed by a touch of French Linen…a perfect place.
.
.
.
The Country French Kitchen is a place where the special ingredient in all the food is love…they also put the “C” in charming. Now we are going to travel outside of France to the shores of the US and see a few American adaptations of the Country French style…
.
.
.
Touches of copper…religious relics…fresh flowers accent this gorgeous kitchen.
.
.
French Linens piled with chippy tin containers filled with fruit make amazing simple vignettes to the kitchen space.
.
.
.
Side boards with some rustic pottery and primitive sculptures are wonderful touches that just exude charm.
.
.
.
No…not all Country French flavored kitchens are in neutral…
.
.
.
Wood…baskets…collections of favorite things create a natural look throughout this space.
.
.
.
Vintage tins suspended from the ceiling…an old sewing machine base creates a wonderful little work space…linen curtains act as doors…wooden floors add some rich warmth…there is no right or wrong…just as long as you are happy with what is surrounding you.
.
.
.
This vintagey French Cottage space is oh so charming…farmhouse sink…glass cabinets…tons of wood and vintage finds and a touch of glam with a crystal chandelier.
.
.
.
Adding interesting vintage pieces add so much character. This buttery shaded glass door cabinet has seen many a place settings but it just adds to it’s personality.
.
.
.
What a fresh and wonderful space…vintage cornice molding that has been white washed adds so much personality to the window and those simple linen curtains that have been hand tied with ribbon to the rod are just too sweet. As in many of these spaces…personal collections are everywhere.
.
.
.
Now sometimes the Country French Style can be GRAND.
.
.
.
Here is one that is ball room grand but it has tons of French Flair!
.
.
.
Sometimes the Country French Kitchen is very ornate. The provincial style shows itself in this one.
.
.
.
Oh so rich is style in charm.
.
.
.
The “homey” cozy feel is very big in the Country French style…
.
.
.
Now here is a space that is GRAND but has all the natural warmth and charm you could desire. Loving the color and check out the bricked half circle floor by the stove…I think that space was meant for me…easy clean up on the spills…amazing stove and a pasta water spout…my heart is thumping!
.
.
.
A very natural space with tons of pizzaz…loving the checkered tiled pattern mixed in with the brick back splash…so many natural elements here and they look fabulous together. All of the old world charm with the modern conveniences!
.
.
.
Copper is just about everywhere…but I do believe it looks the best on that AMAZING stove! This is simply a wonderful space.
.
.
.
So…you may crave this style but enjoy new with a vintage flair…
.
.
.
Or you might adore the “real” vintage pieces…
.
.
.
I personally am favoring a cohesive blend of old and new. This kitchen mixes all of my favorite elements of the Country French style and you have to love a kitchen that has a cushy chair right?
