I really want a French country kitchen. Where do I get this design or wallpaper for my kitchen?

Oct 21, 2009 by Brea | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling

I don't know if this is a stencil or wallpaper. I just got my first house with hubby a few months back an finally figured out what the style I was going for is. Hubby's well to do Grandmother died and left us a bunch of elegant sort of country things. We don't have money to waste. If I could figure out how to do this with wallpaper or stencil I would be so happy! Does anyone know how to do this and if it's something I can buy, where do I get it? It's the French word above the kitchen sink. Thanks so much!

I did and the images I got were all pretty similar to this one. I started thinking about this after going to a B&B called L'Auberge Provencale. It's a French B&B owned by a French couple. Since I've never gone to France, I couldn't tell you for sure if a French country kitchen should look like this. However google images seem to be consistent with this look. Anyhow I like this look anyway.
My debate isn't what kind of kitchen it is. I just really wanted to know how to do the wording.
I have been to England and do know this isn't an English Kitchen. Anyway the words are French. That being said I found this.

Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much Blue Violet. I didn't see your answer before I found the one site. I'm going to look at yours as well. Thanks Blue Violet for answering my question!

You can either free-hand paint, stencil, or use those peel-and-stick wall words (http://www.wallwords.com/). They can be pretty expensive, especially for larger ones. But you can design custom wall-words & they can be easily peeled down without ruining the wall.

If you want to stencil it, just use a stencil, some painter's tape to hold it in place, a stippling brush, and some inexpensive acrylic paint from a craft store. With a stippling brush, just gently pat on the color; don't rub or brush. You can use two or more shades for depth. You can find videos on stenciling on YouTube.

If you choose to free-hand paint, use a yardstick and a LIGHT pencil to mark straight lines so it doesn't come out crooked.

Good luck!
