When you surround yourself with beauty and quality, it inspires you and helps to push you towards new creative heights. That Parisian island is stunning and I love how the scuffs on the front of it sort of match your “June” painted walls. I mean, how great is it to have June colored walls?! Peace and beauty are just dripping down in this kitchen. Even when you are in the midst of filming, or frenetically cooking for a large party, there will be a part of you that is still, calm, and quiet. I wish you many happy years of creativity and enjoyment in your stunning kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing it!! 🤩😀 Cheers from America. 🇺🇸 🏴 🇬🇧

Whoa, 50bucks for four solid copper pans? What a steal. Fantastic kitchen. Classic farmhouse style. 10/10. What a rare gem. For backsplash you could do a thin copper plate to stay consistent. But a simple stainless sheet could match well also, in line with that fantastic stove you got there.

SUGGESTION FOR BACKSPLASH: try a copper plate, rectangular, that copies the colour of your pots, or, a silver-rustic metal plate, that can be affixed to the wall. It blends in, doesn't look modern and is certainly unique. Old kitchens used to have them but a rectangular plate that isn't too reflective, may fit perfectly with your current style. It bring together the back hanging pots and the large dark wood centrepiece. SECOND OPTION: Since you loved your visit to Mexico, a rectangle of pottery coloured tiles ( maybe just 2 or 3 rows). Or, blue/white Moroccan or Turkish patterned tiles to represent the variety of spices you blend so often. Neither is expensive and both styles complement all the design choices already there, without being too "sci-fi." Best of luck, from LA. Ciao!

@@gazoakleychef Yes, you could do homemade, but there are some that can be purchased almost like a wall paper that can be peeled that you could put up easily with an exacto-knife or X-Acto-knife. They are actually fairly cheap as you can get the laminate and exacto/X-acto knife for about $30 or less which is around £24 or less depending on how much you need. The back splash may also be called wall protector. It’s a cheap easy solution until you find something you like better in the kitchen. 😊
