Rustic French kitchen: Farmhouse dining table + open shelves, by designer Mimmi O'Connell

I love this space -- it feels rustic yet chic and well-edited. No red-and-gold Provencal tablecloths and curtains and seat cushions, thank you! Not that those are entirely bad. They have their place -- in Provence.

 

Design by Mimmi O'Connell, the Italian-born, London-based interior designer known for her 'fusion' looks. She was one of the first to bring Chinese furniture to the UK in the 1970s, and a forerunner in mixing rustic, country, and antique Asian furniture in a modern way, pairing 200-year-old tables and chairs with linen upholstery and European art.
