My New Renovated Kitchen

It has been a month and I now announce that my kitchen is finally renovated! Inspired by one of my favourite interior designer, Sara Richardson, I make my kitchen in French country style and exhibit my painted tiles on the backsplash. The white cabinets are installed with polished chrome knobs while the wall is painted in pale green colour. On the backsplash, I put on eight painted tiles, which depict a series of Franz porcelain pieces.





Franz porcelain is my favourite porcelain company. This Taiwanese company’s artworks are inspired by Chinese culture and Nature. Also, they hire various famous artists, such as Jean Boggio and Kathy Ireland to create their beautiful teapots, cups, spoons and even jewellry.


In Europe, most of people like to place Delft tiles on their kitchen’s backsplash. However, I don’t like their patterns and colours. They look a bit ancient. So, I decide to paint Franz porcelain, which looks much up-to-date. Also, I put varied colours to make my backsplash stand out.















Opposite to my stove, I hang up two posters, showing antique cups and saucers and vases. These posters were bought by my friend, Alice at Wedgwood in England.
