"La cuisine sur la cour"


Materials: KROKEN rail+cutlery stand, GRUNDTAL containers

Description: I realized this for my sister's kitchen. I used water based enamel to paint every object, then I made decoupage with chicken figures. Then I refined them with handwriting in French.


Do you like it?

  2. I do feel terrible for asking this, but what is the purpose of this? Is it just decorative? I feel like maybe it could hang over a kitchen sink and the cup could be used to hold a sponge or the like, but otherwise, I feel like I'm missing something...

  3. It likely has the same purpose as a non chicken-ized Kroken/Grundtal set up. :-) Spices, cutlery, etc. I think it's super creative & clever. Love the french chicken & patina theme. Will it hold up in the high heat & humidity environment of the kitchen?

  4. Realization seems very good... But the sentence "La cuisine sur la cour" does not make any sense in French...

    Believe me, I'm French...

    I'm sure they were meaning to say something like "Cooking from the heart" or something like that... except they totally messed up the translation.
