Today’s post features a Belgian beauty, the kitchen of antique dealers Brigitte and Alain Garnier. I came upon this extraordinary interior while researching Belgian design and architecture. I was thrilled to discover the couple and their glorious company specializing in antiques, interior architecture, furniture design and more. With so much to share, I had a hard time deciding what to post first but once I laid eyes on this beauty, I knew this kitchen renovation would be a great place to start…
The article about the project is in Dutch but using Google translate, I was able to understand most of the details. Using historic materials and cherished antiques, Brigitte and Alain Garnier lovingly transformed a dilapidated barn into a one of a kind spacious kitchen. The countertops are 18th century French marble, complete with their original rough edges, and for the wall behind the stove, they choose the most jaw droppingly beautiful black Moroccan tiles. Wow! The rustic floors, original wood beams and natural wood cabinetry blend effortlessly with the aged marble and clean white walls. Please enjoy this thoughtful renovation!
