Summary
THE bistro originated in a region in France, just outside of Paris. The original layout and decor of the French bistro supported the small town community outside of Paris. Those who travelled from the countryside to the city of Paris brought along good wine and food and met with others to partake in wonderful meals with close friends. This established what we now regard as the French bistro. Other European countries followed suit and today, the neighbourhood bistro is still a favourite gathering place in France, Italy and other countries whose culinary delights are treasured and honoured.
A kitchen decorated in bistro style can be a warm and inviting space. The bistro decor is relaxed and forgiving and is meant to be comfortable and welcoming. The bistro is not the place for fussy, white table linens and grand place settings, but rather, an eclectic mix of Old World charm and modern convenience. Even the smallest kitchen can be enhanced with a bistro feel and it is a look that is easy to achieve and maintain. An indoor window awning is a great choice for the bistro kitchen. The view to the outside remains unobstructed while the awning provides a finished look and quaint touch. If you want to know how to make your own awning, check out sites like BHG.com and you'll be sure to find simple 'how-to' instructions for this easy window treatment. If you need more window coverage, consider adding a café curtain below the decorative awning. This treatment will still allow light to filter in but will provide the needed privacy.See the full content of this document
