My kitchen is my oasis and so I love to be there. There is nothing like being your kitchen on a cold rainy day with the smell of something baking in the oven. Being in my kitchen gives me comfort and I think this came about from my childhood. Then I would come home from school or later work, my mother would always welcome me from the kitchen and there would always be something delicious cooking on the stove.
When I was deciding on houses to live in then the most important room for me was the kitchen. It had to be big enough, had a workable design and was pleasing to the eye. The only exception is my current house but I already had plans in my head to renovate the small pokey impractical kitchen into something twice the size, more functional and pleasing.
Decorating my kitchen was a pleasure, and of course I already had an idea of what I wanted for the kitchen to look like. I have a house that is as old as me so an ultra modern kitchen would not have suited. I think I have chosen well to suit my old house. I would've liked a bigger pantry but unfortunately there was not enough room. This is the only thing now I would change if I could. My kitchen is pictured on this post and I would love to hear about your own kitchen. Also note that that I chose an analog pendulum clock for the wall.
I love to cook even though I work full time so most of my cooking is done on the weekend. In winter you will find me cooking a crock pot meal and have my breadmaker cooking a large french load to go with it. This Christmas I will be also spending more time in my kitchen and I love to make s0me of my own presents. Cookies, cakes and slices are my favorites which I will wrap and present in decorative boxes and tins.
What is your kitchen like?
