Remodelista Reconnaissance: Uncovering the Paint Colors in an Ever-Changing French Kitchen
by Annie Quigley
In this installment of Remodelista Reconnaissance, we’re tackling a question we’ve gotten again and again: What paint colors were used in this ever-changing house in Reims, France?
Reader, look no further.
The Sighting
Above: The house is owned by a pair of shopkeepers. The interiors are filled with a rotating array of their one-of-a-kind finds, and the simple, tone-on-tone palette acts as a cohesive, calm backdrop.
Above: One reader asked about the armoire at the far end of the kitchen; it’s painted in Dimity by Farrow & Ball.
Above: Others asked about the walls and trim. The trim is painted in White Tie and the walls in Elephant’s Breath, both by Farrow & Ball.
The Source
Above: Left to right: Elephant’s Breath, White Tie, and Dimity by Farrow & Ball.
