The best of it is hidden behind the door. Found in Montpellier but Swiss in origin, this cupboard stacks two doors around a small central drawer, each door carved with a raised diamond point and framed by turned columns, the whole stripped back to a pale wood. Inside, the shelves and walls are lined in an old pink toile de Jouy. That printed cotton, named for Jouy-en-Josas near Versailles and covered in little scenes of country life, was exactly the thing a household used to make the inside of a cupboard as lovely as the front. Sylvie would put it somewhere it gets opened often, glasses or linens on the toile-lined shelves, in a dining room, a hall, or a bedroom.
