The light poured into the spacious living area of this beautifully restored barn in Old Woodhouse, Leicestershire, giving a very mediterranean atmoshphere to the photographs. The garden is directly in front of the kitchen, stone arches have been hand crafted to frame the bank of windows and doors that lead into the walled garden.\u00a0The light honey coloured stone is now slightly weathered and with shoots of ivy just starting to edge onto the arches, the\u00a0atmosphere\u00a0and look was most\u00a0definitely\u00a0French gite, good job i decided to buy lots of baguettes on the way.<\/p>\n<p>This look is one of my\u00a0favourites for both interiors and gardens, it is often hard to re create in England without looking contrived, but this barn and its Shaker kitchen are the perfect blend of French charm and simple classic design.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1200\" src=\"\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0238.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot?img=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0238.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&text=A mixture of sunshine and style on our latest kitchen shoot\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&media=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0238.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1197\" src=\"\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0103.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot?img=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0103.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&text=A mixture of sunshine and style on our latest kitchen shoot\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&media=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0103.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We designed this Shaker kitchen to include some large bespoke cabinets that fill the walls in a simple elegant way.<\/p>\n<p>A beautiful fitted glazed Dresser is the focal point of the room, its wide reflective glass doors, honed black granite worktop and double cupboards below, are both elegant and functional (painted in a combination of Linen and Mushroom).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1199\" src=\"\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0105.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot?img=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0105.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&text=A mixture of sunshine and style on our latest kitchen shoot\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/a-mixture-of-sunshine-and-style-on-our-latest-kitchen-shoot&media=\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Woodhouse_Unedited_DSC0105.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The white Silestone worktop on the Island gives a clean, almost clinical feel that works beautifully with the soft muted &#8216;Mushroom&#8217;
