Художник: Guy Bouchet The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, and nowhere is this exemplified with more style and personality than in France Distinguished by striking craftsmanship, bold colours and vintage accents, the French country kitchen - whether a rustic retreat or an urban oasis - is always unique and inviting In this beautiful ожгзх celebration of France's real-life kitchens, Linda Dannenberg invites us into dozens of kitchens that capture the spirit of their regions, carefully examining the design, the priorities of the owners and the details -from colour palettes to collectibles - that create inviting, functional and personal spaces You'll visit a remarkable new 'eighteenth-century' kitchen in the heart of Paris's old garment district designed entirely with elements dating from the 1700s; an airy, open family kitchen in a Provencal house that was once a grain mill; a dramatic kitchen, bold in colour and scale, in an elegant farmhouse in Saint-Remy-de-Provence; a romantic country kitchen, illuminated by a Palladian-style window from an old abbey, in a welcoming village surrounded by the farmland of the Tle-de-France; and a casual Parisian space - once an atelier occupied by Pablo Picasso - featuring a kitchen with subtle, restrained mosaics Distinctive elements that characterize these welcoming spaces are examined in depth, from tile work to the French way with colour You'll even find recipes that capture the spirit of the French kitchen With an extensive directory of sources, more than 200 full-colour photographs, and evocative text highlighting a bounty of original ideas, French Country Kitchens is a lush and inspiring guide to re-creating a little corner of France in the heart of your own home With over 200 colour photographs Формат: 21 см x 26 см Иллюстрации Автор Linda Dannenberg.  Набор музыкальныхИздательство: Thames and Hudson, 2008 г Суперобложка, 224 стр ISBN 978-0-500-51445-0 Язык: Английский Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.
