Kitchen of the Week: A France-Meets-California, Ikea-Meets-Custom Kitchen in Normandy

July 28, 2022

I often find myself browsing Remodelista’s Design Travel archives for a virtual escape from my desk. Lately, for instance, I’ve been visiting Riverside House, a 19th-century house turned vacation rental in Normandy. It’s the project of Tatiana Dupond, who is French, and her husband, Jordan Feilders, “the American who introduced California-style artisanal burger and taco trucks to Paris,” Margot wrote in our original feature on the place (see A Normandy Guesthouse from an Upstart American Restaurateur).

Today we’re taking a look at the guesthouse kitchen, ideal for prepping effortless midsummer dinners that last long into the night, French style. Read on:
