I mentioned to FRENCH GIRL. 
That there seemed to be a distinct rouge et noir/red and black theme in her cuisine/kitchen.
She responded,"Absolutement PAS!" Still, I bought the little red and black Ladybug kitchen timer from PYLONES and added it to the shelf with the other red and black items.
Red and green mug sitting on the black cooker.
A hanging red & black light fixture.
Red curtains hang in the kitchen window.
Plus a red with black striped dish towel. Hmm... What do you think? Am I crazy seeing lots of red and black here? I felt compelled to add a red kitchen mitt from Boutique Maille.
It's no surprise a French girl would decorate her kitchen this way. Le rouge et le noir training starts early in la pousette.
And evolves to grown-up Parisiens daily sitting in red and black cafes.
Probably walking there in RED shoes.
Whilst wearing red and black jewelry...
Their politicians deck themselves out likewise...
Well sophistication must start early don't you think?
And Paris is a most sophisticated town non?BONJOUR LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR!
