Kitchen size: 88 square feet
What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen? Biggest challenge: create a small room as a micro-laundry and place for cleaning stuff, since this is a no-closet house. We brilliantly completed the mission, by building our wooden box or "shower unit" as we call it.
Give Maria a THUMBS UP if you think this kitchen belongs in the finals!

What's the story of your kitchen?
This is the kitchen no kitchen in the rented flat: it was empty as we came in except for the sink; we bought the essential, managing to reuse some pieces of furniture we already had and a bookcase as cupboard.
What is your favorite meal to cook here?
Soups during the winter, cocktails at aperitivo time.

I was startled by the idea that you would be showering right next to your stove, then I realised that the shower curtain concealed the laundry not the shower...
Nice, creative use of space! Great job!!
I love this! all of it :)
As a fellow-Milanese...I totally unerstand.
In milan bathrooms and kitchens are all long and narrow and "weird". It's because most pre-war flats were split in two or three ...resulting in odd shapes and strange facilities.
