KITCHEN WEEK: EATING IN A MODERN KITCHEN

July 25, 2009

Breakfast nook with red leather corner banquette seating, a table with a chrome tulip inspired base with a square stone top and dark wood floor
A red leather corner banquette provides stylish space saving seating in a high style kitchen.(above)

A red leather corner booth in a kitchen? This bright kitchen bench seating works…right? Very modern but also has 50’s diner feel to it too. Hmmm…I like this!

Retro kitchen with blue glass backsplash, white stone countertops, white recessed panel cabinetry and stainless steel appliances
Kitchen features blue glass backsplash made of large wall tiles or single sheets of glass, white stone/quartz countertops, white recessed panel cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A great modern take on a retro look. (above)

    I love this… only marine grade vinyl might be more in keeping with my budget (and my destructive dog and children!)

    Love the second photo – it’s refreshing to see this beautiful blue splash of color in a kitchen, rather than typical neutral tones.

    I love the blue glass backsplash! Very stylish and gives the room more lighting!

    I’m loving the the white screen dividing the living room from the kitchen in that first photo…such a great blend of 50’s and 2009.

    Love the whole look, and I am in total agreement with the blue backsplash — really cheerful and yet serene at the same time. Regarding the red leather banquet, what happens when you get grease (salad dressing, olive oil, a slice of bacon!) on it?… is there a good remedy for that?

    Fantastic 3-tiered light fixture in the background. The sky blue back-splash is wonderful.

    I’m in love with the kitchen table with the tulip base, anyone know where it’s from?

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.
→ Save this if you’re building a home around an art collection. 🖼️

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨
→ Save this for your next deep dive into total-design interiors.
