A Rare Occurrance

A tidy kitchen is a rare occurrance in this household so I felt it deserved a post.

The kitchen is a recent extension which is actually a kitchen/breakfast room divided by the kitchen units.

The kitchen part isn't huge, but still about twice as big as the previous kitchen (which is now a laundry and loo) and somehow there still isn't enough room to fit everything in!

We had to buy new units, I would have loved freestanding ones but then there really wouldn't have been room for anything! It's not my dream kitchen but it's the one I've got so I've tried to make the most of it.

I don't know if it's just the kitchen units we chose, but they are a lot smaller than the old ones. Particulary annoying is the fact that behind the drawer fronts are plastic 'trays' which are about half the depth of the drawer fronts so you can fit very little into a drawer. I don't see the logic behind making them that way - not from a usability point of view, anyway.

There is another bit of the kitchen, the bit where I was standing to take the photo, which has the fridge, a built-in larder and more shelves and cupboards. That bit wasn't quite so tidy, so in fact I only have half a tidy kitchen. Should the other half ever become tidy as well, I'll do another post!
