It pains me to say that these kitchens are quite large and roomy compared to my own.
I am a little worried about Kathleen's drapes near the stove but maybe looks closer in the pic than it is. All the kitchens are great!
anyone else having problems with viewing the entries? the zoom version does not work...
I'd like to install a 2-element drop in induction cook top in a small NYC apartment. Any suggestion for best value -- ie price::quality?
I love all the kitchens, but I can feel for Moxie,
as my kitchen is very small also. I live in a 1957 mobile home(need I say more) IF I had space, I would to do a California version of Cathy's!
Does anyone else live in a mobile home?
These kitchens are huge in comparison to mine..I'd love a kitchen that size. Is there going to be a microscopic cook kitchens content?
I've had two much smaller kitchens; both very efficient... I find small kitchens so easy, one
step to everything. In my homestead cabin the breadboard saved me and now I have a 50's kitchen tucked in back of a fireplace. On the back of the 6 foot fireplace I have 8 pegs which I use for pots and pans and a small apartment sized dishwasher.
Forgot to mention...I'd never have a kitchen without a window. Although one gives up some cupboard space, looking out gives one a sense of space.
They're all beautiful, but I definitely could not live without a window in the kitchen area!
Ahhhh.... Window in the kitchen... You guys are so fortunate....
