French Inspiration: Rustic Kitchen & Bathroom
Harmonie Interieure, France

Long time followers of what we consider to be the best curated graphic design blog out there — Graphic-ExchanGE — we're thrilled to get a peak into the fabulous French country home of these designer / blogger extraordinaires and owners of the lovely Harmonie Interieure wall sticker workshop...

 
 

We thought this was a wonderful way to round out Kitchen and Bath month here on AT. The rustic simplicity of these spaces in combination with the lush greenery everywhere really has us inspired and ready for spring. Thank you so much, Fabien and Frederique, for sharing!

The fridge is wonderful, and so is the sink and the countertops.

I love seeing where creative people spend their down time, and this home doesn't disappoint. I like how plants make up the majority of the decor

re: the fridge

how was this done? graphic sticker? stencil and paint? if so, what kind of paint? prep work, ie: sanding, primer, etc?

thanks.

I have a barn studio that is so dark because there is no direct sunlight. Very rustic and similar style, this inspires me to paint everything white ,leave the beams alone. I would probably use it more if it was lighter.

Keeping these bookmarked.

I don't ever click the thumbnails because my Internet connection isn't zippy enough, but that first photo is sooooo beautiful.

Once again, another lovely, rustic home. These houses are very inspirational for me and make me dream..... I like the plants throughout and the refrigerator is amazing! I would love to live in a farmhouse, alas... if I won the lottery...I would. As it is, back to reality, I can only dream and decorate my home farmhouse-like. I especially love the bathroom and tub! The wheels have been turning in my brain since I read the clawfoot tub post in the Chicago forum. I think eventually I will get a tub....just have to rethink my bathroom and save $$.

I love the calmness these spaces seem to hold. Plants, white walls, warm woods, *sigh*

First, i want to thank you all for the very nice comments... yes, this is our home ;) Here come more details :
- we build the kitchen furniture ourselves with recycled wood from a scire
- we design the custom stickers for the fridge, and even if it looks nice, it is very hard to apply ;)
- we did not buy the tub ;) Someone was putting it to garbage when we said we take it... it was black under, so we simply paint it in white...
- on the 6th picture, the wood tube you can see is a hole between the bathroom and the furniture under the sink... We use it to put linen from first floor directly into
laundry basket...

Have idea and just make them happen, money is not the only solution ;)
