Lady Lunchalot

O and I are in the process of renovating our house, and this includes a whole new kitchen and living area. I’ve been working on the kitchen design in my head for ages, but it’s getting close to crunch time and we need to pick a kitchen and lock down a plan.

Some things I’ve included in the design are:

• A hole in the kitchen bench with a chute to a small bin underneath so I can collect kitchen scraps for the compost bin outside.
• A big hanging pot rack over the bench.
• A portion of the benchtop in stone for rolling pastry.
• An appliance cupboard for the glorious Kitchen Aid mixer.
• One of those beautiful big enamel French provincial trough sinks.
• Drawers for pots and pans, instead of cupboards.
• A walk in pantry. (This should be number 1 on the list. I’ve always wanted one of these).
• Plate racks for storing platters.

So I thought I’d ask all the food lovers out there what you like most about your kitchen?
