[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 701686, member: 136"]To me, it looks as if someone had way too much fun eating his/her way through the bake shops of France, then wanted to have a reminder in the kitchen back at home! As Patd has said, the piece is [I]sort of[/I] a play on a French bread cupboard, but it isn't one (no ventilation, for starters...) There are DIYers out there still doing things with similarities to this cupboard - albeit most are probably nowhere near as "fancy" or intricate as this one. Here's what a lady on Pinterest did with a plain, 1950's cabinet: [ATTACH=full]187234[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.pinterest.com/pin/145452262942885188/[/URL] ...and you can even buy stencils for some of the wording: [ATTACH=full]187236[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.stencilstash.co.uk/french-patisserie-1282-p.asp[/URL] Crystal, I think your cabinet could look great in the right kitchen (perhaps not a [I]Property Brothers[/I] kitchen, but maybe some place a bit more "country") - useful, in any case, especially in a kitchen that lacks storage space.[/QUOTE]
