Megan and Tao’s kitchen


I’m definitely in love with eucalyptus wood. The vein is just amazing, with this dark elegant feeling. As eucalyptus is quite common in Australia, so is its use. The first thing I saw when I first arrived in Megan and Tao’s house was this beautiful eucalyptus floor, covering half of the house, including the kitchen. So warm and so elegant at the same time!

The other floors are made in plain concrete, only oiled. A dark grey, used also for the kitchen counter, that fits perfectly with the wood. Raw solid and cold concrete contrasting with the warm softness of wood. Even if most of the materials used are quite dark, the white shiny walls give lots of light to the place. I haven’t tried the oven yet, but I won’t be able to wait much longer!

    La cuisinière c’est juste pour me faire baver d’envie ?
    M’en fous, la plaque de cuisson devrait changer d’allure dès cet été. Le four par contre, je le garde, il est excellent et je n’ai pas besoin de cuire des sangliers entiers !
