Practical Sophistication
Like many lucky enough to visit Paris, Rachel Mullee returned enamored with the City of Light.Today, Rachel has found a way to bring touches of the fame French style into her Minnesota home.

Rachel fashioned a pair of narrow shelves from long marble pieces. A narrow sideboard constructed from 2’x4’s and pine planks provides a work area and storage for stylish baskets with a small footprint. Rather than re-model, the Mullers gave their kitchen “a facelift.” Stained maple cabinets were sanded and painted off-white at the top and a blue-grey at the bottom, brass knobs were switched-out for nickel, and doors were outfitted with glass to show off white dishes. A floor mirror adds dimension to the small dining room while cabinet provides display and offers safe storage for curated crockery. A palette of dusty blues introduces soft color to the table setting. Vintage linen napkins finish the elegant look. A bag from the famed French bakery Poilane in Paris is framed as art. “It’s not only beautiful but very meaningful.” Ceramic water pitchers make chic flower vases without pretension. In the long and narrow master bedroom, Rachel makes space for the bed by skipping traditional nightstands and instead uses a diminutive shelf and wall lamp on one side and a small dressing table on the other. A small dressing table doubles as a nightstand keeping books, flowers and a timepiece within reach. Most everything in the bathroom is original to the house simply freshened up with white paint and clip-on shades for the wall sconces; textiles usher in color. Rachel turns unassuming architectural remnants into works of art with the help of white paint and clever unions. Here, an old window shutter and a cast-off mirror join forces to create a small, stylish and practical living room sideboard. Cohesive tones and textures and plenty of light give a spacious feel to the small living room. The down-filled linen slipcover sofa was a $25 estate sale score. Fabric stretched over a canvas and framed French documents from the 1700s add subtle pattern to walls. End tables work double duty by offering hidden storage. Rachel likes to bring a little The farmhouse sink is Rachel's favorite kitchen update.
