The Remodelista team have been treating us to a week of Gallic design, including French-inspired spaces whose good looks you'll definitely want to steal. Plus: The ins and outs of French doors and a toast to the iconic Duralex bistro glass.
Above: French clients living in the Netherlands asked designer Remy Meijers to bring their grand dwelling into the clean-lined 21st century. Read how he created this elegant space in History and Modern Glam in The Hague.
Above: A group of Parisians just finished transforming an 18th-century estate outside Florence into a center for visiting artists. Luckily, travelers (like you!) can stay there, too. Find out more at Villa Lena: A New Creative Hub (and Hotel) in Tuscany.
Above: It turns out that ingredients for homemade light fixtures are lurking in your kitchen cupboard. Check out Margot's DIY at 8 Kitchen Utensils as Light Fixtures. We throw in the light pattern for free.

Above: Perfect for summer produce, the market tote's compact sibling is making a comeback. See more examples in 10 Parisian-Style Net Bags.
Above: How do the Remodelista editors keep finding these houseboats? This one's a converted Dutch barge, home to a Paris architect and her young daughter. In New Paris Style: A Mother and Daughter Afloat, Margot calls it "floating chic." Très bien.
