Just give me any ingredients and I am ready to spend a day in this white and rustic kitchen cooking up a storm. As much as I love elegant kitchens I find myself more drawn to ones that have a bit of that rustic vibe going on. I don't know what it is; it just feels more real somehow. I guess it has something to do with me liking kitchens that are easy to maintain, kitchens that just look very homey. This one is in a house on the French island Île de Ré, just outside of La Rochelle, which is on the west coast. I love how bright it is and how the decor is kept to a minimum. It's the food that matters.
How has your week been? I'm ready to give the alarm clock a rest and sleep in just a little. Today I have prioritised things that need to be done so I can enjoy relaxing this weekend. I'll be back tomorrow with a bit of Luxembourg. Enjoy your Friday!

Rustic is beautiful - I wouldn´t have it in my own home but I love to see it in pics like this. Enjoy your weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like a good mix. modern and rustic. so this one fits perfectly. have a most wonderful Friday :)
ReplyDeleteI think it has to do with the homey, warm feel those rustic details give. I've always had a soft spot for exposed brick, hard wooden floors and beams and paired with white - it's just perfect. Have a beautiful Friday, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw this kitchen it reminded me of a home we were renting in when we first got married - its' the exposed brick and white cabinets mix. Not cold in the least without adornment just a great wooden floorboard too. I love a neat kitchen with everything in its place - more room for looking up recipes and making things ! Have a great weekend Lisa :)x
ReplyDeleteOr maybe you have grown up in such a kitchen and the feeling is coming back. I know for me it is, it makes me think about the bread and pies that my grandmother baked there...Have a lovely weekend, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI like the kitchen you chose - it's very warm and cosy, but also feels modern and fresh. I often get a feeling that people who have very very very modern kitchen don't actually cook that much - imagine cleaning all those stainless steel surfaces? ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!

i love this kitchen too. the exposed brick, beams, high ceiling, white and bright - it's perfect. i agree about the rustic kitchen. i also love kitchens with a table in them. for me that just feels perfect. this weekend i am looking forward to doing some work so i can be ahead next week. (but that doesn't sound too fun now that i think about it!).
ReplyDeleteFor me, this would be the perfect kitchen in a holiday home by the sea. I'd like to bake cakes there, too!!
ReplyDeleteRauðvínsglas, matarilmur og gamall djass - þá verður þetta fullkomið eldhús :)
ReplyDeleteA very cozy kitchen, indeed; I love the brick walls!
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing weekend,
Lisa
I am also drawn to rustic kitchens - maybe it's because I prefer more rustic food. I love the exposed brick wall in this one. x Sharon
ReplyDeleteLove this kitchen! Agree, agree, agree! Love rustic some kitchens!
