What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen?
When I first moved in, the refrigerator was where the bar table now resides, blocking most of the one window. Moving it next to the oven opened up the window and improved the work flow triangle of the space, and made it possible to put the nice little table in.

What's the story of your kitchen?
The previous occupant painted the floor to ceiling cabinets orange, and the landlord didn't paint them over when she moved out. It was really startling at first but it makes it really cheery. There's also a lot of counter and storage space, and places for indirect-light loving plants.
What is your favorite meal to cook here?
It's really difficult for me to choose... I love making week night dinners, desserts and baking bread, and cooking breakfast/brunch on the weekends.

For a minute there, I thought you meant the whole apartment was 82 square feet! But an 82 square foot kitchen isn't so bad.
Nice, cheerful place!
Agreed! Nice and cheerful.
I do sort of wish that the bottom cupboards were painted too, though...
Oh yes, how I wish I could paint the cupboards. If I could find a low/no fume paint, I might tackle it.
Love the orange. Very cozy little kitchen.
Light and natural...loving the orange and the lamp!
So fun and quirky. And yes, those orange cabinets and lamp make the room.
Did I mention, I'm REALLY loving that lamp.
Cozy and cheerful. I like this very much.
Love it. Utterly charming. The plants really make the space special.
I have a soft spot for orange kitchen cabinets, too. I've had 'em for 11 years, and they still make me happy.
what a happy kitchen!
Is anyone else having trouble getting rid of the enormous Blackberry ad pop up?
I like the hummingbird you have hanging by the ferns. This kitchen is full of little touches that make it yours - well done.
Have you ever considered changing the door hinges of the refrigerator to the other side? It would make it easier to access because it would open on the side of the stove. One person can do it though it's easier having the help of another person to hold up the door.
