After our last house, a rental, which had a dreary, windowless kitchen, I was very keen to have a window in my next kitchen. Oh, and plenty of bench space. Fortunately, this house has both.
I will never underestimate how wonderful it is to be able to daydream out a window when my hands are deep in sudsy water.
Here are some views of our kitchen from a few different angles.
From the family room.
A corner from within the kitchen.
Looking out across the table to the garden. The family room/informal living room is to the right.
And here are some details.
I haven't bought anything new for this kitchen, so what I am showing is things I already had. Fortunately, just about everything goes with an off-white kitchen!
Anyhow, here's the windowsill, which has a little blue dish my husband brought back from china, a little bowl with my favourite rose-scented soap, and a blue chook. The tree outside the window is a lemon tree which I have underplanted with strawberries given to me by a friend.
As you can see, the splashbacks and windowsill are granite as well as the benches.This makes for very easy cleaning!
A little birthday gift from friends who know how much I love to grow things.
This small white bin is used for kitchen scraps which I put in one of our worm farms (we have two).
Finally, some canisters.
I hope you have enjoyed my kitchen tour. It is participating in Show Us Your Life Friday: Kitchens at Kelly's Korner blog.
Have a wonderful weekend.
