If you haven’t heard of Flamant style by now, you must be living under a designer rock.
In home & house circles, the Belgian look of grey paint as well as bleached wood has had a big effect over the past few years. believe of the 2009 Princess Margaret hospital Showhouse (and look for the magazine spread in the April 2010 issue, on newsstands March 15!).
The look comes to us via the internationally understood store/brand called Flamant, based in Belgium. (You may recall that Lynda Reeves just recently composed a column extolling their virtues, as well.)
Aren’t their kitchens dreamy?
I don’t understand about you, however I’m not planning to move to Belgium any type of time soon. So, I’ve gotta get my Flamant right here as well as on the cheap! Let’s phone call it economical Flamant. as well as right here with the products is Crate & Barrel!
I like this table! It’s called the French kitchen area Table as well as offers for $1,599. You can phone call it your Belgian kitchen area table if you like. I likewise like the other great French-style accents from Crate!
Don’t you like this Artesia Tray for $37? It looks fantastic leaned up against the wall in the Crate & Barrel kitchen area above, as well as the tightly woven rattan reminds me of the authentic Flamant baskets utilized in the Princess Margaret hospital Showhouse kitchen.
These Footed Soup Bowls are only $5! Tres chic!! French onion soup, anyone?
My favourite inexpensive café chair once again (forgive the repeat!): Vienna Side Chair, $149. It’s likewise offered in white!
Loving the sunny hue of this Mario Batali Polenta Dutch oven for Crate & Barrel, $110, as well. Yellow as well as grey is such a hot combo right now, as well as Flamant style is all about grey. I like exactly how in the Crate & Barrel kitchen area they painted the lower half of the walls in grey. It’s such a simple treatment without any trim — as well as so French! Crate & Barrel has two Canadian locations, Toronto as well as Calgary.
Bon appétit!
