My Kitchen

Just a quick post ... I still have to post my soup almondine recipe which I will do asap. This is my kitchen which I did in a classic style .... painted antique white cabinetry but with a contemporary twist of anodized brushed stainless steel handles. I like a sleek looking kitchen with no fuss and lots of bench space. I went with Ilve and Miele appliances and the Ilve oven is fantastic. I have two sinks ... one is the big double bowl French farmhouse in the island bench which I love as you can work/cook etc. and still chat to people. I find everyone always converges on the kitchen no matter what the occasion and I like to be able to talk and cook at the same time. The other sink is an underslung porcelain which I use as a flower sink and when we have big gatherings an extra sink for washing glassware. We have dicroic downlighting which I like as it is great for cooking and prepping as it gives plenty of light, however, I am currently awaiting the arrival of my chandelier which will go above the island bench as I feel a little bit of drama in the kitchen never hurts! My benchtops are antique white granite 40mm. All tapware is Perrin and Rowe. I hope you enjoy and if you are ever in the neighbourhood pop in for a cup of tea or a nice glass of chardonnay!
ps My pantry is around the corner and the linen cupboard backs onto the kitchen and is a walk-through! We have a very old 1890'` sliding waiter door which retained and it leads to the dining room! Enjoy!
