The place was a TOTAL mess when we came home with dust and bits of crap everywhere, so after a good few hours cleaning, things were in order. We ate pate and drank champagne off a picnic rug on the floor last night, admiring it for a good hour or so and discussing all the details.
Things are still finding their new homes, but these are some pics of the first meal being cooked - sausage meat ragu.
Things you need to note:
- hot spashback tiles
- shelf for cookbooks above the fridge
- drawers that are spring loaded to not close with a bang, but with a quiet whisper
It feels so big and grown up - the benches are higher and the cupoards bigger than the old kitchen, and I'm just so excited about it. I can't belive it took so long. Can't wait to show people in person!!
OMG! AMAZING. V.Jealous over here in aflatofonesown
ReplyDeleteWhat are you cooking?
Last night it was sausage meat ragu, and tonight it's middle eastern fish... I just got a subscription to Cuisine mag (it's awesome - better than Delicious), so we are going nuts. I even want to clean everything up just to be in the kitchen. So much fun. Why do we have to work??? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic Marsh, buying the too-big fridge really paid dividends! Kudos on the cookbook space, good thinking. In Barcelona at the moment, home at the end of the week, so will need to pop over to say hello and check it out in the next few weeks!
ReplyDeleteHappy NY, Lockie.
i'd gladly live in that kitchen
ReplyDeleteThanks Locko! Happy new year to you too! Hope you guys had a great trip. Can't wiat to hear about it. We'll definitely catch up in the next couple of weeks and play show and tell in the new kitchen! Hope going back to work isn't too much of a drag for you both.
ReplyDeleteHey Fluff - you still are overdue a trip to Sydney. I promise if you come, you can sleep in the kitchen... Tets isn't going to wait forever you know.
