Kitchen La Cachette

Kitchen La Cachette by Derek Kosbab 2010

While on holiday in Europe during 2010, Joie and Derek stayed in a friend’s village cottage, La Cachette, in the French village of Varzy in the Burgundy region. The village dates from the 1300s and the cottage—a three bedroom, two lounge, two bathrooms and one kitchen cottage of two floors—dates from the 1600s.

During the first couple of days I would go into a room and straighten a piece of furniture in relation to a wall only to find that the piece of furniture was then no longer aligned with another wall. Over time I discovered that while from outside appearances the cottage seemed to be a regular right-angled building, in fact, there was hardly an internal wall that was perfectly aligned.

As a consequence, in the painting of the kitchen above, you can see that the walls and floors, doors and windows, and some furniture is out of alignment. Of course, in the painting I have exaggerated the effect to create an entertaining picture of an otherwise unremarkable kitchen.
