Heaven's Kitchen

Drum roll please.....

The kitchen is officially complete. Unfortunately I don't have any before photos for comparison but just imagine a 1976 Formica kitchen painted dark blue with no work surfaces. Add the worst cooker you can imagine, a leaky fridge and some ancient linoleum. Hold that picture in your head. Got it?

Well...taa daaa!
This one corner has more storage space than the whole of the last kitchen. I love the dresser unit because it means I can have all of my favourite pottery on display but behind glass so it's not covered in cat hair - an important feature of tableware I think you'll agree.

Dishwasher (woo hooo) and the ubiquitous cat - in this case Oscar.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous induction hob and double oven.


Dolly the sheep keeping my teapot warm and the biggest fridge freezer I've ever seen with a liberal scattering of magnetic poetry (food edition naturally).

And just in case you missed him in the cooker shot, a close up of Mr Gingerbread.
Finally, some food. Lemon poppy seed muffins with lemon glaze baked as a treat for my Callanetics class. Thanks to Ms Greenspan again for the recipe.

That kitchen looks amazing! Love the dresser. Am so pleased it's sorted in time for Xmas and all the associated cooking :-)

Happy cooking and talk soon.

Love

Your kitchen is looking lovely, but I can't believe all your cookbooks fit into those 2 shelves!

Love your tea cosy!

ok confession time.

The books in the kitchen are just overflow from the living room. I have two whole bookcases full (about 400 books)in the other room which Jen can verify as she's always trying to steal them.

I love hunting down vintage veggie cookbooks on eBay and have some that go as far back as 1900. Although I'm beginning to think I might need therapy.

I'll try an post some pictures in the New Year.
