Decor Monday – French Bistro Inspiration

That bug has bitten again! The decor bug that is! Lately, I’ve been inspired by French Bistro Menu boards. You know, those old fashioned chalk board menus that give a restaurant that old-school feel and so much character?

My kitchen at home has a bit of a Bistro look to it. The cupboards are a mix of dark Meranti wood with a few white washed cottage styled contrasting cupboard doors. When we bought our house, the kitchen was the selling point for me. Immediately, I felt like I was in a cooking kitchen; big, comfortable with loads of work space and a really nice, bistro feel.

The only thing that kills my kitchen is the ugly-ass electricity DV board. Unfortunately you can’t take it away, so I’ve been looking at ways to cover it up and thought a nice Bistro Styled menu board would do the trick.

Here’s some bistro inspiration… now to get arty!
