Lately we've been admiring the Instagram feed of Parisian stylist/blogger Lucille Gauthier-Braud. We're particularly fascinated by her eat-in-kitchen, which, though located in the Marais, looks straight out of the South of France. Three years ago, Lucille and her husband, Charles overhauled their apartment, knocking down walls to allow for a large open cooking and gathering space. The addition of a verrière, a skylight, adds lots of natural light. Here are the design elements to create your own Parisian kitchen aux natural.
