While you might expect to see sturdy wood dining chairs or even Gustavian style feminine chairs in here, we see instead a casual, vintage set of chairs in a soft pastel.

3. Zinc Finishes that Harmonize With Blue-Green

The pendant lights have a beautiful patina suggesting age, and a zinc topped table or a simple vase with fresh flowers may be an easy addition to bring zinc into your French Country kitchen.

Farmhouse kitchens often feature open shelves for ease and casual charm. In this French Country kitchen, small essentials are stowed in lined chicken wire baskets for a tidier look.

SWEDISH PAINT COLORS - Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray 242. "When I was in Sweden, the restaurants and homes always had a lot of candles burning. It's all very inviting and creates this wonderful atmosphere that works so well with pale gray walls and light Gustavian furniture. And then you have that dramatic backdrop of the deep blue sea and the huge blue sky." —Sara Story

    Hi Michele,
    French country is so romantic to me! Love everything about it. Thanks for the info on lavender. I’m really happy with ours, didn’t realize that it lasts year round but it’s still going strong and we’ve had a frigid winter so far!

      I wish we had that climate in Chicagoland! So much to learn from the French approach to home. 🙂

    Hi Michele! Definitely, I will fall in love with a blue and green collection! Aside from the fact that my favorite color is green and blue. I liked its cleanliness and arrangement. This kitchen is so organized and I wouldn’t even think of leaving them unclean!

      I do appreciate the organization Desiree has carefully designed – you get the sense the kitchen will get even better with age! Thanks for reading. 🙂

        Love this house! And especially love the idea of the unexpected airy woven dining chairs. I think I’m gonna be on the lookout for some of those! Even if they don’t all match perfectly😊Also enjoyed the video you shared with Erin Napier from Laurel, MS. I actually grew up in the small town right next door to Laurel…Hattiesburg, MS. I just discovered Erin within the last couple years. I keep planning to visit her mercantile store the next time I go home to visit family. I love her work and her ideas😊

          That store is also on my list – that couple just exudes a goodness and warmth. Did you know they were contacted my HGTV and asked if they wanted to do a show just from someone seeing their wedding shoot in a magazine? Yep. Now that was amazing casting! Hope this finds you well, friend.

            Wow! I did not know THAT’s how they were discovered…what a story! I bet it was Mississippi Magazine that their wedding pics were featured in…they have a wedding issue each year dedicated just to weddings of folks from MS. Thirty-two years ago (1988) when I got married, they had just started highlighting MS weddings, but it only consisted of a few pics in a small section of the magazine. Our photographer sent in some pics of weddings he had done, and they actually chose a pic from our wedding to feature.❤️ But we didn’t get a TV show from it… dangit! Ha! 😂

    Hello! Wonderful article. 🙂 Do you have any idea what color her walls are? Her home is my inspiration for my renovation, but I can’t seem to find a wall color as creamy as hers. Please help!

      Hi there. I’m pretty sure the walls are plaster and not painted. It’s hard to beat the glow of a gorgeous plaster wall!

    Hi

    Do you know what the name and brand of the gray trim color and off white wall color ?

    Thanks

      The trim is stained a custom grey/blue/green so we don’t have name to grab off the shelf. If you don’t have luck custom mixing your own stains, sometimes diluting a paint color with water (essentially making a glaze so the wood grain shows through) is an alternative. I have had success doing this with BM Revere Pewter. I believe the walls are plaster and not painted – warm white paint color ideas are here: https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/2020/05/7-gorgeous-warm-white-paint-colors-for-home-decor.html

    Good morning! I really enjoyed your post this morning! I am getting ready to refresh our guest bedroom and I’ve been thinking of adding some blue/green I to the decor. This sealed the deal for me—although I will keep my beloved white as a base, I’m going to add in some blue/green. As always, thanks for the continued inspiration!
