I have been watching your videos on living in the French country to get ideas on decor and to learn what country life might be like. This November 30, I will be moving, from the USA, into a country home outside of Moissac. It is a mini farm, 15 acres, two large barns and a trout stream. Thanks for inspiration and for the great ideas on decor and country living.
According to Feng Shui, the cook stove is one of the important elements for good health and a happy home. It cooks your nutritious food, it warms your house, and it is a central “hearth” (heart) to your family gatherings. You’ve picked a beauty! The fact that it is of excellent quality, and also a local specialty, makes it even more of a treasure. I like your local stone used for the sink and countertop. And I like your choice of tiles for the backsplash. This is a natural and timeless look. You have great taste in decorating and your husband seems to be a very talented builder/craftsman.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I fully agree: the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is such a cliché but it is so true for us, especially since moving here. I am so happy we got the Lacanche, it truly is a gem!
Everything in your kitchen just shouts French farmhouse. I love the use of neutral colors and natural or distressed wood. I love the coffee service sitting out for guests to make themselves at home. It is such an inviting space…like a warm blanket, a reading nook, a family gathering, comfort food. You’ve created a welcoming cottage.
The kitchen is beautiful, love the colors and how it all comes together. I also love the oven you chose. You have made a big impact on a small space. Great job to both of you. Very inspiring and a great video. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
I am just now seeing your cook's cottage kitchen reveal, and I think you've done a wonderful job, making the right choices for a cohesive and interesting kitchen. I love the natural wood floating shelves, the small light fixtures, and the stove and backsplash tiles. The overall neutral shades are pleasing.
Thank you for explaining how you use Pinterest to formulate the design. Kitchen is great, nice traditional feel. I Bookmarked the stove since we will be renovating the kitchen next year. Always enjoy your thoughtful well planned videos. It takes a lot of effort and I appreciate that!
What a wonderful surprise!! Yes, I've been dying to see the final results of your kitchen project and it is so beautiful. Your kitchen is wonderful! I love the calming and peaceful colors and all details match perfectly to your old house style. Congratulations to both of you, great job! Thank you for charing. It's a great inspiration project. I love it!! Blessings from México.
Just beautiful. So in keeping with the style of the Farmhouse. Love the color palette - I noticed we even have one of the same PINS - the white ceramic cutting boards in a wood box 😀. The counters and LaCanche - perfect choices! Anyone will be lucky to stay here. Merci for the tour!
We renovated our houseboat. I originally wanted butcher block counter tops..But, was more money than I wanted to spend. I wound up using 2x6 pine wood boards for countertops. Sanded well and left natural. Then sealed with a polyurethane that you brush on. And brush on several layers and sanded in between. They came out amazing. And love the small darker knots in the wood as well. And on a wide bar top we used 1x4 as a skirting around it. And added small lighting under bar on the seating side. The lights are battery operated and mostly used if the power goes out in the area during a storm. Because I also have a shelf space under there for lanterns and flashlights etc. Solar battery and weather radio. All tucked away next to the wall.
You and Olaf did such a great job! It's a beautiful kitchen ❤️ The colour scheme is very calming and I think it's always a good idea to choose neutral colours for expensive items that will be there for years to come; that way if you feel like painting the walls or the cupboard a different colour, those items will still work in the space. I personally love the visible shelf brackets; they are charming alongside the rustic wooden shelf and the Digoin pieces. I loved hearing about your process, which is so different to mine. I always see what I want projected into the space as a whole. What's funny is, the more run down and neglected the space, the easier I manage to see ideas in my mind. Well done again Marloes! 👏
O wow I admire your ability to have a clear vision upfront! I absolutely love your style and how you’re renovating your house! I guess the more run down the less distractions? I feel it is easier for me to design a space when the space already exists… so I can stand in it, feel it and try to project ideas. I find it way harder to do this when there is nothing. When this space was a stable and there were only walls and no windows. Same with the cabin and our big kitchen. It isn’t always easy to stay patient… We’re not redecorating and renovating a house, we’re building a house. And that takes so long. On the other hand it gives me plenty of time to decide on things but sometimes I dream of having a house where spaces are defined and where there are more features already in place (such as built in cabinets, fireplaces, a nice floor) to work with or that can serve as a starting point or provide inspiration. But we’re getting there!
@@FrenchCountryLife The wonderful thing about building your home from scratch is that you can tailor make every aspect of it! I feel your frustration for how long that takes but it will be so so worth the wait and I'm sure the sense of achievement will be HUGE. I guess I played house so much as a girl that I'm used to imagining in my mind what rooms look like 😊 I think it's also been invaluable to have only rented houses up to this point because it allowed me to know exactly what works for me and what doesn't now that we own our home. For example I used to love ceiling beams and exposed stone but now that I've lived with that in an old farmhouse here in France, I know it doesn't work for me. Too many places for dust and spider webs to collect! 😊 Time helps us to define and to design our dream home. I'm loving following your journey and every achievement and milestone you reach. 👏
@@athome_infrance Yes fully agree!! That is also what I appreciate… having lived in the house as it is for 3 years we know exactly what works and how we use the spaces. And I think a lot of features of an old farmhouse look amazing but aren’t necessarily comfortable. You need to have lived a winter in a “en pierre” house that’s not insulated to either know you’ll be chopping loads of wood or want to insulate 😂 which is what we did with the cottage. For our big kitchen however we will leave a wall en pierre. We burnt a lot of wood in our old uninsulated living room but we were never cold, and this wall in the kitchen will have a huge baie vitrée and I just think it is such a loss to cover it all up. Curious to see how we appreciate that choice afterwards 😉
@@FrenchCountryLife You're so right about the insulation! It's like that in the rental we're living in at the moment while we renovate our place. A constant fire is needed in Winter, otherwise the temperature in the house plummets! Exposed stone looks beautiful though, I totally agree; and one stone wall is far easier to keep clean than a whole stone house! Your plan sounds absolutely stunning and, like you said, you've lived in the space long enough to understand perfectly how to use it. I can't wait to see it all materialise for you and your family.
💜💜 I thought of you today while pulling the millions of weeds out of my gravel terrace 😭 Thought of how you said you understand what it takes to be the keeper of a place like this. I honestly nearly cried of pure overwhelm as I’ve been weeding for days and no end in sight! I guess being able to leave it for a while will be one of the advantages of winter!
@@FrenchCountryLife unfortunately the weeds will be a part of our lives as long as we live. 😂Justin and I have spent 30 minutes after dinner for 3 nights this week pulling weeds. Make it a date I suppose. 😂❤ You both are very talented. It’s been a joy to watch your journeys and be inspired by you both. A bientôt!
Love your tiny kitchen, it may be small but thanks to your clever design, it is very functional. Love the soothing colors and all the touches of class you have given it. Your style is comfortable.
The kitchen is warm, inviting and spectacular. It will be wonderful for guests. The work done and the attention to detail are obvious. Things are really coming together and you and Olaf should be so proud of your accomplishments so far. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas as well for the rest of us.
This was awesome to watch. Th get history of your farmhouse and about you and your family. It’s beautiful. Your husband is a great carpenter and you both know what kind of design you would like to have.❤
Very Lovely. Love It all! the concrete surround.The fabulous, dreamy range. Natural brass faucet. I appreciate your color pallet of neutral colors, natural wood. Very calming. You are blessed with your incredible talented hubby. Anyone would be thrilled to stay in this cottage. The only item that stands out not fitting is the tall Ikea cabinet with cubicles. Perhaps I can stay at your property some day when you are set up for hosting. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thank you! Yes that Ikea cabinet will not be here anymore once we start renting the cottage, it is there to store all our stuff for now and the bed will be there when we rent it as a cottage! Would love to welcome you here!
Oh Marloes. C’est tellement doux, simple et pleins d’âme. Je suis Française et vie au US et reviens enfin vivre en France. Tes vidéos sont et ont été un réconfort immense pendant cette période d’expatriation si difficile pour moi. Je découvre la Bourgogne. J’adore, j’aime tout ce que tu partages et je voulais te remercie pour le faire. J’aimerais beaucoup te suivre sur Pinterest si c’est possible? , je l’utilise aussi c’est mon jardin secret ♥️ much love
Quel bonheur de revenir en France! Et oui, je pense que tout gros changement dans notre vie est bouleversant... prends ton temps de retrouver la sérénité. Tu vas vivre en Bourgogne alors? Je suis @marloeshalmans sur Pinterest. Bonne installation en France
I loved everything about your choices for this kitchen. The stove is especially amazing. The tile backsplash is perfect. Thankyou for sharing your proccess.
Bonjour. I love your channel. I love your accent. You actually, look my late, Aunt. You even make the same expressions as she did. You resemble her, also. I believe that it is your eyes, that look like hers. You have a fabulous French accent. I am French, 83%, 😁. I'm going to be purchasing my 1st home, all by myself, very soon. It's very beautiful. I can hardly wait, to be able to decorate it, with French Country style. I have some beautiful paintings of France. I have so many Pinterest boards, that it is crazy. I used Pinterest, as therapy, in the lowest points, of my life. I thank you, for recording your whole life, especially, the trips to the thrift stores. I've always, wanted to be able to view these shops. I'm a Treasure Hunter, too. I adore your style. I plan to visit the city of Landerneau, next year, possibly. It's the city, that my 10th Great Grandfather traveled from, 300 years ago, settling in south Louisiana. Please tell me, how your name is spelled; because I can't quite understand it, because of your beautiful accent. I have a question ❓ Do you have to go grocery shopping, every day, or every two days? The reason I ask, is because the refrigerator is quite small. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I am frustrated with the tiny refrigerator. I dream about the day, when I will be in my new home and it has a tall, wide and deep, side by side refrigerator/ freezer. You've done a great job, with your kitchen, so, just ignore those who gripe about the self brackets and thank you, for not using floating shelves. They're so cold and modern. If you ever want to beautify your brackets, you can change them out, with thick, gorgeous corbels . Much love, Tamara
Thank you for sharing all this! My name is spelled Marloes. We go grocery shopping about 3 times a week but that’s mostly because we have things come up, guests who ask for dinner etc. During the lockdown we ate for up to three weeks with the four of us and we have a very fridge (like the one in the cottage). But as a vegetarian that’s easier as lentils and chickpeas etc all keep very long. And we used veggies from the freezer. It just takes a little more planning!
What a gorgeous kitchen. Yes Olaf talented. Everything you chose including brackets are practical n white is great choice. Love your taste. Suzanne in Montana
Love the stone counter and sink! And any serious cook on these French vlogs ,has this very kitchen stove either in white or black. Your style is very organic.
Bonjour French Country Life. Excellent video as always. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and garden and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me and the family.😎😎🌹🌹🌻🌻
As a gal of Dutch heritage, I am drawn to anything Dutch. I just discovered your channel this afternoon, a cold BC Canada winter day. I love your sense of design by feeling! I am looking forward to browsing and watching your creativity coming to life in France.
The kitchen is sooooo beautiful Marloes ! Your team make always a great job, I am impress. I love the the atmosphere , the colors, the gorgeous Lacanche and all the pretty details !
I’m in love with lacanch range but lives in the us and besides the price of the stove you have to get someone who has experience to service and set it up.. but honey the place turned out like a kitchen I’ve been dreaming about for awhile now. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Wednesday you and family ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Yes we have the privilege of living right in the next village from where they are made, so many of our neighbors and friends work there! They help with installing and service but I think if you'd buy one in the US they have local resellers that, as I've heard, offer excellent service? It comes with buying one as I've understood.
Ha Marloes, ik heb genoten van het 'kijkje in jouw keuken': douze points! Smaakvol, sfeervol, rustgevend, functioneel, mooi. Alles klopt. Reken maar dat er volgers zijn die jullie keuken na gaan maken. En terecht. Groetjes uit Eindhoven, met een 13-in-een-dozijn-keuken ;-))
Charming kitchen. I love the feel! You may want to see if you could paint the screw heads on the shelf brackets (same color as bracket). It will blend. Enter for the eye. Lovely job. You are both so talented.
Thank you! Yes paiting the screw is on our (long) list of finishings to do in this cottage! Fully agree that it is a small change that will make a big difference!
I love your counters!I ended up w wood and then Quartz around the sink . I live by myself so I figured I could be a little more careful. My backsplash is also an imitation neutral Zellige. I wish I could do a gas stove but electric is all that is allowed .
The whole space looks great. It will make a fantastic holiday gîte. Thanks a lot for sharing the details about the Lacanche range and how they can be customized in terms of colours, handles, sizes, etc. I really want a classic country stove/range for the kitchen in my forever home in France. Now I will definitely look into buying a customized Lacanche gas stove/range.
Thank you! Yes we feel the stove is the heart of the home, it was so important for us to get one. It is a big investment but it was high on our priorities list :) And we absolutely don't regret it!
Taking an idea and turning it into reality with craftsman like quality...nice ideas Marloes and GOOD work Olav, even though it cost you an elbow, hope it's better...from a retired construction & residential remodeling carpenter.
Thanks as always for your support Rick! Olav's elbow is much better. He's been overseeing and coordinating our sons and me while we stacked 15 stères of fire wood! :)
Hi I am new to your channel!!! Wow what a great job in design and workmanship, I am looking forward to watching all your changes to your new home. Thank You for sharing.
So happy to see this lovely kitchen as I am about to create a small space like this. The Lacanche is the 🌟 and all your finishes are perfection..especially the faucet! Will you be sharing sources? We share a lot of the same images pinned and I would love to follow your pinterest too Beautiful!
Hi, so happy to hear this! I actually shared all sources in the instagram live I did but didn't at all think about doing it here as well... You can find them all on my insta @lasource_bourgogne.
This is a beautiful kitchen, be careful with unfinished boards for your shelves, they warp. We have some and after a couple years they really warped. They just need some kind of finishing product on them. ❤
I LOVED this video. I approach a project like this the same way. But because I'm older than you, I've done it for years but cut pictures out of magazines instead. I collect pictures even when I'm not planning anything at the moment. I think you have terrific taste and have to say that neutrals colors are the most difficult I guess because there are so many colors that are similar. Choosing the colors is the most difficult part and usually takes longer than the project itself. When I was doing the kitchen in my small barn in France I did those varying colored tiles and loved the effect. I had a smaller backsplash, so I splurged on this. They were a soft grayish/blue. You have a lot of energy!
Oh I still cut out pictures from magazines as well! I love having both a Pinterest board and a scrap book. And like you, I am ALWAYS looking for nice interior ideas even when I don't have any projects! We have lived in our house in The Netherlands for 10 years and I hadn't touched anything since we did the big renovation when we moved in. It wasn't until we wanted to sell the house that I noticed how some things had actually gone outdated :) You wouldn't say so but I wasn't into decorating in The Netherlands at all! But a French farmhouse is just so inspiring!
I’m just now seeing this and I’m in love with that kitchen the design the color scheme and the space😍you see how airy light and flowy the space is, it’s beautifully done and fits so well with the French country lifestyle! I love France so much the countryside is so serene and peaceful❤people could just live in that kitchen and not need anything else! But about Pinterest, I like the idea of organizing design details and picking and choosing what you like and don’t like however for me, I have a Pinterest but I’m so scattered I mean I like Mediterranean style yet I like English country, I like the colors and vibrancy of Mexican haciendas yet I do love everything vintage French so I’m just all over the place when it comes to what I like because I can’t narrow my focus down to just one style🤦🏻♀️I look around and even where I live there’s no cohesiveness in decor none whatsoever it’s so awful🤦🏻♀️🤣
Thank you! And frankly I have the same problem! I tell myself it’s best to choose the style that feels most authentic to the house which means that I have to abandon some more mediterranean or modern styles which I regret. So I know the feeling! Thanks for your comment 💜
I love the kitchen! We are currently renovating our kitchen. We’ve been struggling with the tile selection and the oven choice they are very similar ( the tiles ) to your choice. The oven is very popular with professional cooks in the US as well. So your information was so helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Will you believe I didn't even know Lacanche when we moved here? But quickly learned to absolutely love it and so proud that such a small company and village (although back in the day when it was a very successful forgery it used to be huge and I believe had thousands of employees!) has created such a big brand!
Bravo ! Pas fan des équerres blanches qui font un peu "cheap" à priori.. surtout avec les vis inox qui ressortent. Le plan de travail est vraiment fabuleux, par contre vous avez ptêt intérêt à le traiter avec un produit "bouche pores" ou hydrofuge. Je ne connaissais même pas lacanche, très jolie ! edit : 30s plus loin vous en parlez, oups !
Bonjour! Oui les équerres étaient le plus difficile à trouver… mais je voulais un style minimaliste et nous allons peindre les vis. Le plan de travail est traité et on le traite tous les 3 mois mais franchement il y a énormément de tâches malgré tout. Mais ça ne me dérange pas, j’adore ce “lived in look”
Absolutely love your stove! Is it possible to purchase one in the U S?? The color choices are amazing! Your work is gorgeous. I just found your channel so I am binging and having a great time! Like going to a meditation:)
I think they're more southern Europe style and very popular with those who love authentic, rustic and brocante style interiors. Traditionally farmhouses only had a simple limestone sink and later they would have a simple tap with cold water in the living space. The stone sink could sit on "jambages", made of stone as well, but definitely not cabinets like we know today.
@@Francis-kw9ui Haha! I see... Our current family's fridge that we've lived with for 3 years is actually smaller than the one in the cottage :) I think it's fine. They'll quickly find joy in going to farmers markets and getting fresh produce and cook with that like our current American guests in the cabin do! But you're right, my American family do this too but they live way out in the country far away from stores! But then... so do we... Maybe it's a cultural difference?
@@FrenchCountryLife yes, I loved farmers markets, the countryside. Peaceful and manageable at a sensible pace. Beautiful landscapes. Everyone is happy including the animals.
I heard a term recently that could describe your kitchen - "historical modern". Love it. The term was used to describe kitchen renovations in 300 year old stone houses in the US. It looks like it could have been there originally but is modern and more practical. I see you have room to add an authentic butcher block --- which is not only useful for meat.
@@hervedupont6955 Not a problem. Look them up if you can. The majority of the 300 year old stone houses are privately-owned farm houses (not tourist attractions) in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and a few other states.
Gorgeous turned out great, I've wanted a stove like this for years, I've gone on their website but didn't see any pricing? I've been to the box stores and similar were around 4-5k is that about pricing? your choices were lovely. Like the fireplace, it looks like its always been there for a long time :-)
Thank you! Prices depend on where you are too (shipping). The smallest size (like mine) will indeed be around that price. Don’t hesitate to look online for a reseller near you and ask for details! You’re in France right? I have their french catalogue with all the models and prices. Just pick that up somewhere at a reseller if you’re interested and also it’s good to get their advice on how to define all your choices (nothing is standard on these and it is all customized so it’s good to know what you will be cooking and what you need and custom design yours to meet your needs). If you have questions, you can email me at bonjour@lasourcebourgogne.fr, happy to give more details from the catalogue if you feel more comfortable that way!
Thank you! I don't know what you would call those in English... I got them from a small business online shop: happyhome.bigcartel.com/product/suspension-festonnee-blanche
le mix du moderne et de l'ancien ...vous avez donné du "cachet" à cet espace et parfois il n'en faut pas plus pour être bien chez soi ...profitez en bien
That is actually translated from English. It is a small book with "All your mother should have taught you about cooking". I always like the old ways of doing things, cleaning the house etc. In French it is called "Tout ce que votre mère aurait dû vous apprendre en cuisine". It has lots of basics cooking techniques but I bought it at a thrift store mostly because I like this kind of information. The other two books are very old "housekeeping" books that my friend and I found at one of those public "take them for free" libraries in a wine village. It is incredible to see what they taught us in the old days that we seem to have forgotten... which is why I think sometimes many people are lost in today's world... Here's a link to the book: livre.fnac.com/a1927368/Collectif-Tout-ce-que-votre-mere-aurait-du-vous-apprendre-en-cuisine
I have been watching your videos on living in the French country to get ideas on decor and to learn what country life might be like. This November 30, I will be moving, from the USA, into a country home outside of Moissac. It is a mini farm, 15 acres, two large barns and a trout stream. Thanks for inspiration and for the great ideas on decor and country living.
O wow how exciting! Congratulations!
According to Feng Shui, the cook stove is one of the important elements for good health and a happy home. It cooks your nutritious food, it warms your house, and it is a central “hearth” (heart) to your family gatherings. You’ve picked a beauty! The fact that it is of excellent quality, and also a local specialty, makes it even more of a treasure.
I like your local stone used for the sink and countertop. And I like your choice of tiles for the backsplash. This is a natural and timeless look. You have great taste in decorating and your husband seems to be a very talented builder/craftsman.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I fully agree: the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is such a cliché but it is so true for us, especially since moving here. I am so happy we got the Lacanche, it truly is a gem!
Everything in your kitchen just shouts French farmhouse. I love the use of neutral colors and natural or distressed wood. I love the coffee service sitting out for guests to make themselves at home. It is such an inviting space…like a warm blanket, a reading nook, a family gathering, comfort food. You’ve created a welcoming cottage.
Thank you so much for these kind words!
Congratulations on creating an amazing, comfortable, inviting space. You did a beautiful job!
Merci!
The kitchen is beautiful, love the colors and how it all comes together. I also love the oven you chose. You have made a big impact on a small space. Great job to both of you. Very inspiring and a great video. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
Merci!
I am just now seeing your cook's cottage kitchen reveal, and I think you've done a wonderful job, making the right choices for a cohesive and interesting kitchen. I love the natural wood floating shelves, the small light fixtures, and the stove and backsplash tiles. The overall neutral shades are pleasing.
Thank you for explaining how you use Pinterest to formulate the design. Kitchen is great, nice traditional feel. I Bookmarked the stove since we will be renovating the kitchen next year. Always enjoy your thoughtful well planned videos. It takes a lot of effort and I appreciate that!
Enjoy the process of renovating your kitchen!
The limestone countertop with an integrated sink was a brilliant choice. Everything about this space is perfection!
Thank you!
What a wonderful surprise!! Yes, I've been dying to see the final results of your kitchen project and it is so beautiful. Your kitchen is wonderful! I love the calming and peaceful colors and all details match perfectly to your old house style. Congratulations to both of you, great job! Thank you for charing. It's a great inspiration project. I love it!! Blessings from México.
Thank you!
I love the unfitted French kitchens ❤
Omg! Absolutely beautiful. It is such a calming and peaceful environment. So all done guys. You make an awesome team.
Thank you! I am so grateful to have such a skilled husband!
Just beautiful. So in keeping with the style of the Farmhouse. Love the color palette - I noticed we even have one of the same PINS - the white ceramic cutting boards in a wood box 😀. The counters and LaCanche - perfect choices! Anyone will be lucky to stay here. Merci for the tour!
Thank you!
Rich, Warm and Cozy...I absolutely love the space you and your husband have created. Thank you for sharing your process. ❤
Merci!
That's how I find things as well. I go for the feel of it.
We renovated our houseboat. I originally wanted butcher block counter tops..But, was more money than I wanted to spend. I wound up using 2x6 pine wood boards for countertops. Sanded well and left natural. Then sealed with a polyurethane that you brush on. And brush on several layers and sanded in between. They came out amazing. And love the small darker knots in the wood as well. And on a wide bar top we used 1x4 as a skirting around it. And added small lighting under bar on the seating side. The lights are battery operated and mostly used if the power goes out in the area during a storm. Because I also have a shelf space under there for lanterns and flashlights etc. Solar battery and weather radio. All tucked away next to the wall.
Thanks for sharing how you did your countertops! We’re looking into that for our big kitchen and haven’t decided what we’ll do yet.
You and Olaf did such a great job! It's a beautiful kitchen ❤️ The colour scheme is very calming and I think it's always a good idea to choose neutral colours for expensive items that will be there for years to come; that way if you feel like painting the walls or the cupboard a different colour, those items will still work in the space. I personally love the visible shelf brackets; they are charming alongside the rustic wooden shelf and the Digoin pieces. I loved hearing about your process, which is so different to mine. I always see what I want projected into the space as a whole. What's funny is, the more run down and neglected the space, the easier I manage to see ideas in my mind. Well done again Marloes! 👏
O wow I admire your ability to have a clear vision upfront! I absolutely love your style and how you’re renovating your house! I guess the more run down the less distractions? I feel it is easier for me to design a space when the space already exists… so I can stand in it, feel it and try to project ideas. I find it way harder to do this when there is nothing. When this space was a stable and there were only walls and no windows. Same with the cabin and our big kitchen. It isn’t always easy to stay patient… We’re not redecorating and renovating a house, we’re building a house. And that takes so long. On the other hand it gives me plenty of time to decide on things but sometimes I dream of having a house where spaces are defined and where there are more features already in place (such as built in cabinets, fireplaces, a nice floor) to work with or that can serve as a starting point or provide inspiration.
But we’re getting there!
@@FrenchCountryLife The wonderful thing about building your home from scratch is that you can tailor make every aspect of it! I feel your frustration for how long that takes but it will be so so worth the wait and I'm sure the sense of achievement will be HUGE.
I guess I played house so much as a girl that I'm used to imagining in my mind what rooms look like 😊 I think it's also been invaluable to have only rented houses up to this point because it allowed me to know exactly what works for me and what doesn't now that we own our home. For example I used to love ceiling beams and exposed stone but now that I've lived with that in an old farmhouse here in France, I know it doesn't work for me. Too many places for dust and spider webs to collect! 😊 Time helps us to define and to design our dream home. I'm loving following your journey and every achievement and milestone you reach. 👏
@@athome_infrance Yes fully agree!! That is also what I appreciate… having lived in the house as it is for 3 years we know exactly what works and how we use the spaces. And I think a lot of features of an old farmhouse look amazing but aren’t necessarily comfortable. You need to have lived a winter in a “en pierre” house that’s not insulated to either know you’ll be chopping loads of wood or want to insulate 😂 which is what we did with the cottage. For our big kitchen however we will leave a wall en pierre. We burnt a lot of wood in our old uninsulated living room but we were never cold, and this wall in the kitchen will have a huge baie vitrée and I just think it is such a loss to cover it all up. Curious to see how we appreciate that choice afterwards 😉
@@FrenchCountryLife You're so right about the insulation! It's like that in the rental we're living in at the moment while we renovate our place. A constant fire is needed in Winter, otherwise the temperature in the house plummets! Exposed stone looks beautiful though, I totally agree; and one stone wall is far easier to keep clean than a whole stone house! Your plan sounds absolutely stunning and, like you said, you've lived in the space long enough to understand perfectly how to use it. I can't wait to see it all materialise for you and your family.
Amazing results. An inviting and practical space. And that stove is the chef's kiss!
Merci! We are so happy with it!
❤️ the rustic/moderate look. The muted tone gives the place a timeless feel.
Thanks
Your kitchen is so beautiful I didn't even notice the brackets until you pointed them out
Yay been waiting for you to share. ❤❤❤❤ we love the naturally soft aesthetic of your design choices!
💜💜 I thought of you today while pulling the millions of weeds out of my gravel terrace 😭 Thought of how you said you understand what it takes to be the keeper of a place like this.
I honestly nearly cried of pure overwhelm as I’ve been weeding for days and no end in sight! I guess being able to leave it for a while will be one of the advantages of winter!
@@FrenchCountryLife unfortunately the weeds will be a part of our lives as long as we live. 😂Justin and I have spent 30 minutes after dinner for 3 nights this week pulling weeds. Make it a date I suppose. 😂❤ You both are very talented. It’s been a joy to watch your journeys and be inspired by you both. A bientôt!
Love your tiny kitchen, it may be small but thanks to your clever design, it is very functional. Love the soothing colors and all the touches of class you have given it. Your style is comfortable.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful and so inspiring!
Thank you!
The kitchen is warm, inviting and spectacular. It will be wonderful for guests. The work done and the attention to detail are obvious. Things are really coming together and you and Olaf should be so proud of your accomplishments so far. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas as well for the rest of us.
Thank you! Yes with every next thing that gets finished we are seeing our dreams come to life. It’s magical 💜
This was awesome to watch. Th get history of your farmhouse and about you and your family. It’s beautiful. Your husband is a great carpenter and you both know what kind of design you would like to have.❤
I love it Marloes .. you’ve styled it perfectly & I love the soft neutral colours 💕
Thank you!
I love the stove! It is the most beautiful one I have seen! I also love the pot on the stove! Thank you for sharing!
Very Lovely. Love It all! the concrete surround.The fabulous, dreamy range. Natural brass faucet. I appreciate your color pallet of neutral colors, natural wood. Very calming. You are blessed with your incredible talented hubby. Anyone would be thrilled to stay in this cottage. The only item that stands out not fitting is the tall Ikea cabinet with cubicles. Perhaps I can stay at your property some day when you are set up for hosting. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thank you! Yes that Ikea cabinet will not be here anymore once we start renting the cottage, it is there to store all our stuff for now and the bed will be there when we rent it as a cottage! Would love to welcome you here!
Oh Marloes.
C’est tellement doux, simple et pleins d’âme.
Je suis Française et vie au US et reviens enfin vivre en France. Tes vidéos sont et ont été un réconfort immense pendant cette période d’expatriation si difficile pour moi. Je découvre la Bourgogne. J’adore, j’aime tout ce que tu partages et je voulais te remercie pour le faire.
J’aimerais beaucoup te suivre sur Pinterest si c’est possible? , je l’utilise aussi c’est mon jardin secret ♥️ much love
Quel bonheur de revenir en France! Et oui, je pense que tout gros changement dans notre vie est bouleversant... prends ton temps de retrouver la sérénité. Tu vas vivre en Bourgogne alors? Je suis @marloeshalmans sur Pinterest. Bonne installation en France
Absolutely beautiful! I love the rustic simplicity and the oven is gorgeous. It will be a wonderful vacation home for people traveling to your region.
Thank you so much!
love your home all the soft natural colors and elements
Thank you!
Love the simplicity and the colors
thanks!
Prachtig, wat een heerlijke uitstraling heeft de keuken.
I loved everything about your choices for this kitchen. The stove is especially amazing. The tile backsplash is perfect. Thankyou for sharing your proccess.
Thank you!
Bonjour. I love your channel. I love your accent. You actually, look my late, Aunt. You even make the same expressions as she did. You resemble her, also. I believe that it is your eyes, that look like hers. You have a fabulous French accent. I am French, 83%, 😁. I'm going to be purchasing my 1st home, all by myself, very soon. It's very beautiful. I can hardly wait, to be able to decorate it, with French Country style. I have some beautiful paintings of France.
I have so many Pinterest boards, that it is crazy. I used Pinterest, as therapy, in the lowest points, of my life. I thank you, for recording your whole life, especially, the trips to the thrift stores. I've always, wanted to be able to view these shops. I'm a Treasure Hunter, too. I adore your style. I plan to visit the city of Landerneau, next year, possibly. It's the city, that my 10th Great Grandfather traveled from, 300 years ago, settling in south Louisiana. Please tell me, how your name is spelled; because I can't quite understand it, because of your beautiful accent.
I have a question ❓
Do you have to go grocery shopping, every day, or every two days? The reason I ask, is because the refrigerator is quite small. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I am frustrated with the tiny refrigerator. I dream about the day, when I will be in my new home and it has a tall, wide and deep, side by side refrigerator/ freezer.
You've done a great job, with your kitchen, so, just ignore those who gripe about the self brackets and thank you, for not using floating shelves. They're so cold and modern.
If you ever want to beautify your brackets, you can change them out, with thick, gorgeous corbels .
Much love,
Tamara
Thank you for sharing all this! My name is spelled Marloes. We go grocery shopping about 3 times a week but that’s mostly because we have things come up, guests who ask for dinner etc. During the lockdown we ate for up to three weeks with the four of us and we have a very fridge (like the one in the cottage). But as a vegetarian that’s easier as lentils and chickpeas etc all keep very long. And we used veggies from the freezer. It just takes a little more planning!
Refrigerators in Europe are usually much smaller than what I’ve seen in the US!
What a gorgeous kitchen. Yes Olaf talented. Everything you chose including brackets are practical n white is great choice. Love your taste. Suzanne in Montana
Love the stone counter and sink! And any serious cook on these French vlogs ,has this very kitchen stove either in white or black. Your style is very organic.
Thank you!
Bonjour French Country Life. Excellent video as always. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and garden and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me and the family.😎😎🌹🌹🌻🌻
Oh wow, you’ve just made me imagine an entire feel good homesteading movie in my head. Thank you for sharing all of this. Ça fait rêver!
@@FrenchCountryLife Merci je suis content que ça vous ait plu. 😉😉😊😊🌻🌻
Well done on a great job. Love the 'feel'😊👏
Thank you!
Everything looks so beautiful! I love it all but I really love the Lacanche range.😍 I’d love to get one too in the near future. TFS friend!
Thank you! Oooooh yes, that would look so beautiful in your house!!
A Beautiful and inviting space. It was helpful to hear about your process. I love the open storage spaces rather than cabinets!
Thank you!
What a beautiful space. Well done.
merci
As a gal of Dutch heritage, I am drawn to anything Dutch. I just discovered your channel this afternoon, a cold BC Canada winter day. I love your sense of design by feeling! I am looking forward to browsing and watching your creativity coming to life in France.
Ik vind jullie keuken geweldig mooi 🤎🤍 Ik zou hem zo in mijn eigen huis willen plaatsen🤎🤍 Echt geweldig gedaan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dank je wel!!
Such a charming and beautiful space. I really enjoy the combination of the concrete with the tile and wood. And that range is lovely! Good job!
Thank you!
Your husband is talented and he’s so cute 🥰
Merci! Fully agree :)
@@FrenchCountryLife omg i forgot to say you are soooo talented yourself and beautiful too, I’m just gay 😂
Gorgeous house! I love how cohesive it looks. Amazing job!!!
Merci!
The kitchen is sooooo beautiful Marloes ! Your team make always a great job, I am impress. I love the the atmosphere , the colors, the gorgeous Lacanche and all the pretty details !
Merci!
c'est beau chaleureux et réconfortant
I’m in love with lacanch range but lives in the us and besides the price of the stove you have to get someone who has experience to service and set it up.. but honey the place turned out like a kitchen I’ve been dreaming about for awhile now. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Wednesday you and family ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Yes we have the privilege of living right in the next village from where they are made, so many of our neighbors and friends work there! They help with installing and service but I think if you'd buy one in the US they have local resellers that, as I've heard, offer excellent service? It comes with buying one as I've understood.
Ha Marloes, ik heb genoten van het 'kijkje in jouw keuken': douze points! Smaakvol, sfeervol, rustgevend, functioneel, mooi. Alles klopt. Reken maar dat er volgers zijn die jullie keuken na gaan maken. En terecht. Groetjes uit Eindhoven, met een 13-in-een-dozijn-keuken ;-))
Dank je wel!
Your Kitchen looks Beautiful , Great Job .
Merci!
Beautiful! ❤
So beautiful and simple.
Thank you!
Leuk dat jullie voor materialen en apparatuur vanuit de nabije omgeving hebben gekozen! Het is een plaatje! ❤
Dank je wel!
Charming kitchen. I love the feel! You may want to see if you could paint the screw heads on the shelf brackets (same color as bracket). It will blend. Enter for the eye. Lovely job. You are both so talented.
Thank you! Yes paiting the screw is on our (long) list of finishings to do in this cottage! Fully agree that it is a small change that will make a big difference!
Really beautiful and nice work!
Merci!
Absolument magnifique.. compliments

Lovely kitchen - perfect simplicity but classy too! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
I love your counters!I ended up w wood and then Quartz around the sink . I live by myself so I figured I could be a little more careful. My backsplash is also an imitation neutral Zellige. I wish I could do a gas stove but electric is all that is allowed .
I am still trying to decide for my own kitchen what to go with…
Beautiful!
merci!
The whole space looks great. It will make a fantastic holiday gîte.
Thanks a lot for sharing the details about the Lacanche range and how they can be customized in terms of colours, handles, sizes, etc. I really want a classic country stove/range for the kitchen in my forever home in France. Now I will definitely look into buying a customized Lacanche gas stove/range.
Thank you! Yes we feel the stove is the heart of the home, it was so important for us to get one. It is a big investment but it was high on our priorities list :) And we absolutely don't regret it!
Taking an idea and turning it into reality with craftsman like quality...nice ideas Marloes and GOOD work Olav, even though it cost you an elbow, hope it's better...from a retired construction & residential remodeling carpenter.
Thanks as always for your support Rick! Olav's elbow is much better. He's been overseeing and coordinating our sons and me while we stacked 15 stères of fire wood! :)
Hi I am new to your channel!!! Wow what a great job in design and workmanship, I am looking forward to watching all your changes to your new home. Thank You for sharing.

So happy to see this lovely kitchen as I am about to create a small space like this. The Lacanche is the 🌟 and all your finishes are perfection..especially the faucet! Will you be sharing sources? We share a lot of the same images pinned and I would love to follow your pinterest too Beautiful!
Hi, so happy to hear this! I actually shared all sources in the instagram live I did but didn't at all think about doing it here as well... You can find them all on my insta @lasource_bourgogne.
Amazing
its really gorgeous!!!
Thank you!
This is a beautiful kitchen, be careful with unfinished boards for your shelves, they warp. We have some and after a couple years they really warped. They just need some kind of finishing product on them. ❤
Thanks! Yes I did give them a coat of sealer/protection.
Ваши видео вдохновляют! Спасибо большое!
Thanks!
Beautiful space
Merci!
I LOVED this video. I approach a project like this the same way. But because I'm older than you, I've done it for years but cut pictures out of magazines instead. I collect pictures even when I'm not planning anything at the moment. I think you have terrific taste and have to say that neutrals colors are the most difficult I guess because there are so many colors that are similar. Choosing the colors is the most difficult part and usually takes longer than the project itself. When I was doing the kitchen in my small barn in France I did those varying colored tiles and loved the effect. I had a smaller backsplash, so I splurged on this. They were a soft grayish/blue. You have a lot of energy!
Oh I still cut out pictures from magazines as well! I love having both a Pinterest board and a scrap book. And like you, I am ALWAYS looking for nice interior ideas even when I don't have any projects! We have lived in our house in The Netherlands for 10 years and I hadn't touched anything since we did the big renovation when we moved in. It wasn't until we wanted to sell the house that I noticed how some things had actually gone outdated :) You wouldn't say so but I wasn't into decorating in The Netherlands at all! But a French farmhouse is just so inspiring!
Love it! simple and elegant. I also love your top, by the way😊 Thank you for sharing with us.
Merci!
Lovely
merci!
I’m just now seeing this and I’m in love with that kitchen the design the color scheme and the space😍you see how airy light and flowy the space is, it’s beautifully done and fits so well with the French country lifestyle! I love France so much the countryside is so serene and peaceful❤people could just live in that kitchen and not need anything else! But about Pinterest, I like the idea of organizing design details and picking and choosing what you like and don’t like however for me, I have a Pinterest but I’m so scattered I mean I like Mediterranean style yet I like English country, I like the colors and vibrancy of Mexican haciendas yet I do love everything vintage French so I’m just all over the place when it comes to what I like because I can’t narrow my focus down to just one style🤦🏻♀️I look around and even where I live there’s no cohesiveness in decor none whatsoever it’s so awful🤦🏻♀️🤣
Thank you! And frankly I have the same problem! I tell myself it’s best to choose the style that feels most authentic to the house which means that I have to abandon some more mediterranean or modern styles which I regret. So I know the feeling! Thanks for your comment 💜
Very nice relaxing kitchen
Thank you!
I love the kitchen! We are currently renovating our kitchen. We’ve been struggling with the tile selection and the oven choice they are very similar ( the tiles ) to your choice. The oven is very popular with professional cooks in the US as well. So your information was so helpful. Thank you.
Yes it can be challenging to get it just right! Yes Lacanche also has a range for professional chefs and restaurants!
I love your kitchen and it made me want
to rent your cottage for a lovely stay.
Thank you! You're very welcome to come stay here next year (or after of course!)
Absolutely beautiful!! A Lacanche range is highly coveted here in the States; maybe some day. Enjoy your beautiful space. 🧡🤎💛
Thank you! Will you believe I didn't even know Lacanche when we moved here? But quickly learned to absolutely love it and so proud that such a small company and village (although back in the day when it was a very successful forgery it used to be huge and I believe had thousands of employees!) has created such a big brand!
Bravo ! Pas fan des équerres blanches qui font un peu "cheap" à priori.. surtout avec les vis inox qui ressortent. Le plan de travail est vraiment fabuleux, par contre vous avez ptêt intérêt à le traiter avec un produit "bouche pores" ou hydrofuge. Je ne connaissais même pas lacanche, très jolie !
edit : 30s plus loin vous en parlez, oups !
Bonjour! Oui les équerres étaient le plus difficile à trouver… mais je voulais un style minimaliste et nous allons peindre les vis. Le plan de travail est traité et on le traite tous les 3 mois mais franchement il y a énormément de tâches malgré tout. Mais ça ne me dérange pas, j’adore ce “lived in look”
I am in love with your videos, I just started watching and and I subscribed after I saw the 2nd one. What an amazing job you're doing
Welcome to the channel!
Absolutely love your stove! Is it possible to purchase one in the U S?? The color choices are amazing! Your work is gorgeous. I just found your channel so I am binging and having a great time! Like going to a meditation:)
Yes you can find a reseller in the US. Welcome to the channel!
Simply remarkable. Love it! Are the concrete cabinets popular or traditional in France?
I think they're more southern Europe style and very popular with those who love authentic, rustic and brocante style interiors. Traditionally farmhouses only had a simple limestone sink and later they would have a simple tap with cold water in the living space. The stone sink could sit on "jambages", made of stone as well, but definitely not cabinets like we know today.
@@FrenchCountryLife Thank you.
Great color. Brackets fine. Maybe go with bigger appliances cause visitors will want to stay a long time. Warm feeling to the space.
Which appliances do you mean?
@@FrenchCountryLife Americans like huge frigs to stock up- tends to indicate 2 week stay… just observing my family.
@@Francis-kw9ui Haha! I see... Our current family's fridge that we've lived with for 3 years is actually smaller than the one in the cottage :) I think it's fine. They'll quickly find joy in going to farmers markets and getting fresh produce and cook with that like our current American guests in the cabin do! But you're right, my American family do this too but they live way out in the country far away from stores! But then... so do we... Maybe it's a cultural difference?
@@FrenchCountryLife yes, I loved farmers markets, the countryside. Peaceful and manageable at a sensible pace. Beautiful landscapes. Everyone is happy including the animals.
Bonjour ! C'est une cuisine de rêve !! Puis-je vous demander où vous avez acheté les zeliges ? Merci d'avance
Bonjour! Ils viennent de Leroy Merlin, ils s’appellent “Zellie”.
I heard a term recently that could describe your kitchen - "historical modern". Love it. The term was used to describe kitchen renovations in 300 year old stone houses in the US. It looks like it could have been there originally but is modern and more practical. I see you have room to add an authentic butcher block --- which is not only useful for meat.
Thank for sharing! That does sound pretty accurate!
Butcher block is also kinder to your knives when chopping vegetables.
Des maisons en pierre vieille de 300 ans aux États-Unis🤔🤔🤔🤔 je pense qu'il y a un problème.
@@hervedupont6955 Not a problem. Look them up if you can. The majority of the 300 year old stone houses are privately-owned farm houses (not tourist attractions) in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and a few other states.

Gorgeous turned out great, I've wanted a stove like this for years, I've gone on their website but didn't see any pricing? I've been to the box stores and similar were around 4-5k is that about pricing? your choices were lovely. Like the fireplace, it looks like its always been there for a long time :-)
Thank you! Prices depend on where you are too (shipping). The smallest size (like mine) will indeed be around that price. Don’t hesitate to look online for a reseller near you and ask for details! You’re in France right? I have their french catalogue with all the models and prices. Just pick that up somewhere at a reseller if you’re interested and also it’s good to get their advice on how to define all your choices (nothing is standard on these and it is all customized so it’s good to know what you will be cooking and what you need and custom design yours to meet your needs). If you have questions, you can email me at bonjour@lasourcebourgogne.fr, happy to give more details from the catalogue if you feel more comfortable that way!
I painted an under cabinet black to see if I liked it and I was surprised that it showed spills so much so no dark colors for me.
I love it!! If I could magically move it to my house, I would do it. What are your pendant lighting fixtures called?

What is the name of the cookbook with the fork on the spine!!
That is actually translated from English. It is a small book with "All your mother should have taught you about cooking". I always like the old ways of doing things, cleaning the house etc. In French it is called "Tout ce que votre mère aurait dû vous apprendre en cuisine". It has lots of basics cooking techniques but I bought it at a thrift store mostly because I like this kind of information. The other two books are very old "housekeeping" books that my friend and I found at one of those public "take them for free" libraries in a wine village. It is incredible to see what they taught us in the old days that we seem to have forgotten... which is why I think sometimes many people are lost in today's world...
Here's a link to the book: livre.fnac.com/a1927368/Collectif-Tout-ce-que-votre-mere-aurait-du-vous-apprendre-en-cuisine
