Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
If, like us, you're still dreaming about the château we visited yesterday in the Charente region of France—see La Vie en Vert—the good news is that most of the furnishings are available. Owners Isabelle Dubois-Dumee and Hubert Bettan run Les Petites Emplettes (translation: The Little Shop), an emporium of French and Moroccan household staples, straight from their enchanted castle. Here's a sampling.
Baskets and Furniture
Above: A Mini Hanging Basket made in Morocco of braided palm; €17 ($18.70).
Above: Woven fiber Round Poufs are €49 ($53.92) each.
Above: Decorative Wooden Trees, approximately 29.5 inches tall, are €39 ($42.92), and "some slightly bend for poetic attitude as if the wind were blowing."
Tableware
Above: Dejeuner sur L'herbe, €31 ($34.11), is a biodegradable collection of lunch-on-the-grass dishes and utensils for eight, vial of salt included.
Above: A Wool Storage Cube, made in France of unbleached wool, is €21 ($23.11). "Small decorative tip," write the couple, "adding textiles to your home adds warmth."
Above: A Mini Panier, sized for sugar cubes or paper clips, is €8 ($8.80).
Above: A hostess gift Tabletop Pack, €24 ($26.40), comes in a wooden crate and includes picnic items for two: glasses covered with woven fiber, fiber mats, wooden spoons, lemongrass candles, and a pair of vases (flowers included). A set of four Natural Fiber Placemats is €29 ($31.91). The glasses are also sold separately.
For the Bedroom
Above: An organic cotton Star-Adorned Duvet Cover and Pillowcase—with black and glow-in-the-dark stars—is €180 ($198.07).
Above: A string of Wicker Lights (20 lights total) is €120 ($132.05).
Above: Les Petites Emplettes' made-in-France Organic Cotton Duvet Cover and Pillowcase of unbleached cotton is stamped "chut," which means "shhh." The set comes in two sizes starting at €159 ($174.96).
Go to La Vie en Vert and Les Petites Emplettes to see more.

Design Travel With Margot Guralnick
It was during a weekend in London with his fiancé that Olivier Gampel decided someone ought to bring fish-and-chips to Paris. An interior designer with a background in fashion retail, Gampel, though an unlikely candidate, took on the mission himself. Not surprisingly, it's the playfully suave design of Fich, his new 20-seat seafood cafe in the 3ème, that caught our attention.
Photography via Olivier Gampel, unless otherwise noted.
Above: The restaurant is located at 83 Boulevard Beaumarchais in the Marais. Fich is Gampel's shorthand for fish-and-chips. Photograph via Play Like a Girl.
Above: Gampel, whose Paris design firm is known as Les Nouveaux Decorateurs, outfitted his tiny space with hardwearing natural materials: terrazzo-topped cafe tables that evoke the bottom of the sea (or a fish tank), wooden bench seating, low-backed chairs, and marine-blue concrete floor tiles.
The tile, he told us, comes from Portugal—it's uncannily like the Marrakech Design hexagonal cement Dandelion Blue Tile in McShane and Cleo Murname's LA master bath that we spotlighted in Steal This Look.
Above: One-time-use wood utensils are paired with black napkins. The menu graphics are the work of Paris- and London-based illustrator Yesonme, who Gampel discovered online. Photograph via Miam Paris.
Above: Terrazzo is also applied to several of the walls. Marble-patterned ceramic dishes organize small offerings, including My Crazy Pop popcorn. Photograph via Play Like a Girl.
Above: Gampel serves mashed peas as a fish-and-chips accompaniment, but draws the line at newspaper wrapping. Fich's tableware is blue-edged enamelware—go to our Enamelware posts for sourcing ideas, including Made in the U.S. Enamel Plates, Cups, and Bowls. Shown here, lemons for the house "citronnade détox," fresh lemonade with mint.
For more details, go to Fich. And see more Paris restaurants—including The Lovely Bones, a stripped-down bistro, and Clamato, another seafood hotspot—in our Paris City Guide. For an affordable and stylish place to stay in Paris, take a look at the Hotel Henriette.

Kitchens With Izabella Simmons
Lately we've been admiring the Instagram feed of Parisian stylist/blogger Lucille Gauthier-Braud. We're particularly fascinated by her eat-in-kitchen, which, though located in the Marais, looks straight out of the French countryside. Three years ago, Lucille and her husband, Charles overhauled their apartment, knocking down walls to allow for a large open space for cooking and gathering. The addition of a verrière, a skylight, adds lots of natural light. Here are the design elements to create your own Parisian kitchen au naturel.
Photography by Lucille Gauthier-Braud.
Above: The couple installed an Ikea Grytnäs kitchen—counters, cabinets, and a sink—and personalized it. A stainless steel plate rack and Smeg gas range with a stainless backsplash add an industrial element to the warm space. Lucille made the pendant lamps herself.
Above: The Ikea sink and birch countertop are fronted by a large window. The counter soaps are from Aesop and Harvey Nichols.
Above: The sideboard is an antique from Nantes, and the vintage Italian lamp on it is by Guzzini.
Above: The large Glass Flower Vase is from Merci, and the candles are by Diptyque. As for the fridge-side assemblage, Lucille says: "I collect brushes and brooms everywhere I go; I buy one in every country I visit.".
Above: An old harvest table is paired with vintage white Fanett dining chairs by Finnish architect Ilmari Tapiovaara.
