There's just something about living — even temporarily — in other kitchens to inspire a wish list for your own. A few months ago, I spent two weeks in France on a trip with my husband, staying in places ranging from a medieval former abbey in a tiny village to a 17th-century apartment in Bordeaux straight out of the pages of Elle Decor, complete with a dream kitchen. We also stayed in a bedroom in a Paris apartment and a chamber in a countryside castle. Cooking and eating in these places — along with all the restaurants we ate at — fired up my kitchen-outfitting itch.
As you can imagine, I came home with a few things that are proving to help me feel like a little bit of France is here in my kitchen.
