Finally, kitchen photos for those of you have been so patiently waiting for them. Old kermit green kitchen above (sorry, had the shakes the day I took this).
Tada!! My new kitchen - so exciting, even though it's not really 'new' anymore.
We chose to use caesarstone for the benchtops and it's been a choice we are really happy with. It is white but full of flecks of glass in all the colours of the rainbow. The main bench is 1m wide and about 1.5m long, yep, you read that right. It gives me heaps of room to cook with the kids. It gives us room for chairs to be pulled up to make kiddlings tall, and room for high chairs for the even smaller people. I've cooked with my nieces and nephews since they could sit up and they all have a love of cooking and are developing some pretty good skills. We cook everything from roasts (after foraging for herbs in the garden) to cakes, biscuits and breads. Bread making is so much fun with kids.
After such a long wait it's been an absolute joy to have a new kitchen. A cook top that works, drawers to maximise storage and to make low cupboards more accessible to me on bad body days. On the advice of friends we installed an induction cooktop and are very pleased that we did. It's fast, efficient, gives even heat and doesn't heat the kitchen up so much in summer. One of my favourite things is our dishdrawer (dishwasher in a drawer). Love, love, love it.
Looking back towards the fridge, pantry (which was made 5 inches too narrow, grr) and my recipe book/office/organising bench. It was a looooong wait but most definitely worth it. Walls will be eventually painted for those who noticed that bare board above this area! :)
Stunning photos of the kitchen!!! Would be at home in any Real Living Magazine! M finally got a good look too and nodded his head and stuck his thumb up! xxoo
