Growing up, my mother always decorated our home in a Provençal fashion, so I have an inborn love of the elegant style. I’m also infatuated with the idea of a French kitchen, though my culinary skills are limited to microwavable rice in a packet. In my opinion, there is no culture more inspiring than the French. I’ve never been to France and I don’t know many French people, so my idea of the country is more of, say, an educated approximation than a real understand. But so what, I say. Whether you’re making a bowl of cereal or a delectable coq au vin (in which case I will be right over), you can have a touch of the blue, white, and red in your home too with these dining and kitchen wares. Let that le drapeau tricolore fly!
