That there was definitely a rouge et noir/red and black theme in her cuisine/kitchen. French Girl responded,"Absolutement PAS!" Never mind. I bought the little red and black Ladybug kitchen timer from PYLONES and added it to the shelf with the other red and black items.
Plus a red with black striped dish towel. Hmm... What do you think? Am I crazy seeing lots of red and black here? I felt compelled to add a red kitchen mitt from Boutique Maille.
LOVE the red touches (although French Girl is obviously in denial)! I've recently been adding in red touches to my all Fire King Jadeite green kitchen. My mom gave me a red Le Creuset pan for Christmas...and with a beaut like that, you MUST add some red accents to highlight it!
Love the lady bug timer – even those are French "cool"!
Perhaps I should get a children's book to test my "advanced beginner French" (barely after several years!) My colleague who studied French said she was humbled when she couldn't follow a French speaking toddler!
I would never pick that combo - but it sure seems to work in Paris! I love the little glimpses we get of French Girl's apartment....it looks a so tidy and tiny.
J'adore RED... even more FUN in Paris!!! Are you in Paris now? I hear the weather is AMAZING! I'm sooo excited I will be in Paris AGAIN this year... October... maybe we will be there at the same time!!!
Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist-ex-NYer living on Ile St-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne, sending out Illustrated letters monthly from Paris. I’m a travel artist, travel blogger, writer, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal experiences so you can travel vicariously through my sketches and words. I paint Paris dreams (jam jars, macarons, cups of hot chocolate, peonies) and mail 📮 them ❤️ wherever you are 🌎 Receive an illustrated letter 💌 every month from Paris, France 🇫🇷
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

I LOVE the hanging light!!!! Everything is so well thought out in France in design!
Yep, looks to me like she has a black and red theme going! It looks fabulous.

Red shoes on black and white tiled floor, the red cafe au lait bol with white dots, I'll take it! ;-)
The cat jewelry is adorable (I think to recognize the design from a Viennese store, a French designer, of course).
All that's missing on French Girl's spice rack is "grains of desire" by "ambiance gourmande" - black label, red lettering. ;-)

I LOVE black and red together but maybe you have to be French to pull it off?

Isn't it funny - obvious to us but subliminal to her - I love it x
