Most kitchen renovation projects are slow enough as is, but can you imagine when teeny tiny bricks are involved? It must've taken quite a long time, but the LEGO kitchen island sure is a thing of beauty:
The idea for Simon Pillard and Philippe Rossetti’s Lego kitchen sprouted five years ago, when Pillard put 500 blocks and a day’s worth of work into building a Lego-legged chair. The designing duo—–who create products together under the name Munchausen—–recently gave the seat a colorful companion. They covered their kitchen island—–a simple wooden block—–with 20,000 Lego pieces.
James May (well, his helpers) built an wntire freaking HOUSE out of Lego.
@felixthecat - I would imagine that they covered the entire surface in some type of clear varnish or sealant. At least that's what I would do.
