O notă hazlie Uimeşte musafirii cu vesela, că bucatele nu sunt prea-prea

@ Alina - Is this a title or within the paragraph/descriptions on the site? And which section/page of the website is it written under?
Alina Dohotaru (asker) Jun 6, 2011:
pentru LaraBarnett este vorba despre vesela de marca Villeroy&Boch, este o descriere a colectiilor...este ceva mai artistic....o informatie pentru un site
Lara Barnett Jun 6, 2011:
@ Alina Orlov (Asker) Is this a marketing phrase? Could you also provide more text and show how this integrates with the rest of the piece? THank you.
meirs Jun 6, 2011:
For the sake of discussion I am inclined to translate "casa" into household rather than plain house - as tableware (vesela, tacâmul) reflect on/project the image of the household (menaj). Curat şi bine aranjat faci din colibă un palat.

Your window is the mirror of your house from outside. They need thorough treatment even if it comes at an expense.

agree Peter Shortall : And literally a mirror if washed properly (unlike mine...) I'd be tempted to use "home" for casa. Nice to see you back!

An idea - a well matched tableware is the look of your household - I hope it sound sOK
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lara Barnett : In UK we use term "household" in a more abstract way/// It is used to describe living arrangements of people and financial vs recreational regimes.

TNX - translation RO to EN is pointless anyway - I believe that Vilery & Boch have their own advertising staff in the UK

the showcase of your household

vitrins este folosita in unele case si pentru etalarea veselei.

O alta posibilitate ar fi "the calling card of your household"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lara Barnett : The word "showcase" lifts the meaning slightly, but in UK we use term "household" in a more abstract way. It is used to describe living arrangements of people and financial vs recreational regimes.//My comment is not about the company brand, it's USAGE.

Surely, there is a lot of difference now that I know it's about Villeroy&Boch .

face of your home

Here are a few examples from the www:

"..Living room is the face of your home, so it must be styled up."

"..Your living could be the face of your home, but your kitchen is.."

"..Windows are the face of your home - give them a face-lift without.."

"..Change the face of your home with our unique collection of furniture range."
