A TUSCAN KITCHEN DONE THE RIGHT WAY!

November 30, 2010
  • Share

Warm Tuscan kitchen with yellow walls, wood cabinets, a large wooden chest of drawers, and blue grey countertops

Finally, a Tuscan room I love! Maybe because it is in Tuscany!

I say finally because all I see here in L.A. is over worked “Tuscan” in homes. I am not a huge fan of California style “Tuscan” decor and architecture for the most part…the not-so authentic faux finishes and scrolling iron works and big blocky wood architecture additions are usually replete in these homes…so that leaves me feeling that the so called “California-Tuscan” just doesn’t work for me.

This actual Tuscan kitchen in Tuscany does work for me. California Tuscan copy cats behold a true Italian kitchen.

There is something so romantic, rustic and raw about this open kitchen in a home in the countryside of Tuscany…

I don’t know specifically what it is about this space that draws me to it…is it the warm inviting wall color, the wood beamed ceilings, the tattered wood cabinetry, the tapestry hanging on the textured wall in the dining room, or the fact that I can literally imagine myself there cooking (which I rarely do), eating, enjoying family and friends…hmmmm…ahhhhh…Tuscan love!

Open plan kitchen with exposed beams, white pedant light, yellow walls, wood table and chairs the island has a stove, grey marble counter and curtains instead of cabinets

Close up of the stove, the yellow walls, and the yellow shelves with natural wood back

What do you think of this Tuscan kitchen? If you like please forward to your American friends to show them what Tuscan is supposed to look like!

Happy Tuesday!

Aside: Have to dash in a bit to my morning work meeting! Oh, last night, I found all of these sparkling headbands I bought earlier this year…I think I will put one on for work…a tiara of sorts…whenever I wear one of my tiara like headbands to my very corporate job, my boss always looks at me like I am nuts…hee hee…think I will shake things up again and wear a tiara (oh I mean sparkling headband) to work. Also don’t judge me that wearing a tiara is my way of making things exciting at the office…I know…I’m sure some of you are saying…boring…dull…well…it is what it is…hee hee. Oh, I am also aware that regular readers are reading this right now and saying…”she’s like a broken record”…”haven’t I heard this tiara/headband bit before?”…hmmm…at least I am aware of my frailties! LOL!

Anyhooooo…again, Happy Tuesday!

    How’d the headband work for you? LOL Well, I hope!
    Love (too)the Tuscan kitchen, as I adore all of Tuscany as well as where I lived on Spain’s mid- Mediterranean Coast atop a mountain of a 15th c. fishing village for 5 1/2 years in house I designed (open cupboards, garlic string hanging, et al). Ahhh, the sweet life! Better to’ve had & lost than not to’ve had at all! Bon appetit and all the Tuscan/Spanish sayings too!

    I’ve read that Jackie Kennedy, on several official occasions, wore a diamond tiara in her elaborate hairstyle: of course some disgruntled complainers groused that she must think she’s “royal” or something. I say good for her — and you — let’s hear it for people with the personal style to WEAR a tiara -!

    I would be willing to learn out to cook in such a kitchen…only in Tuscany.
    I have been in a rather dark mood lately, perhaps I should try wearing a tiara.

    I love the kitchen and the tiara. When I build my dream home (probably when I’m a tottering granny) I want a farmhouse type Tuscan kitchen. Will keep these pictures for reference if you don’t mind.

    Hi, Coco! I’m your fan from the Philippines. I’d like to say that, of all your posts, it’s the Tuscan Kitchen post that I love most. Ah, I fell in love again with the hundred-year-old villas in Tuscany. That’s my unfulfilled dream yet, build a Tuscan Villa in the heart of Pantabangan Mountains whose terrain is almost similar with that of Tuscany (I already built two houses though: one is patterned after an old American Farm House and my Coffee Shop, after an old English Cottage.) I’ll keep on waiting for more of your Tuscan Villas posts. Regards!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard.
