It's clean and neat but I could never work in there. Way too cramped for me.
I have numerous small kitchen appliances , like a Kitchen-aid stand mixer, food processor, toaster oven etc, for which I need lots of counter space. Additionally, when I make a pizza, I need room to move about, tossing the dough.If I was younger, had a large family, and entertained often, I would think that would be a wonderful kitchen.
But the here & now in me likes compact kitchens these days ... In my apartment, I can cook, wash dishes, and grab things from the refrigerator in one spin ...lol .. Life is simple & good. .... and so easy to clean up!
But you'll do the clean-up afterwards, right? Otherwise, you can't come and live with me so you can cook and bake to your heart's content. I'll be the Taste Tester in Chief, and I'll clean up after myself too.
Once I had a GF who actually liked doing the clean-up. She said, "I'd much rather cleanup than cook".But you'll do the clean-up afterwards, right? Otherwise, you can't come and live with me so you can cook and bake to your heart's content. I'll be the Taste Tester in Chief, and I'll clean up after myself too.
I have never mastered the art of cleaning up as I go along. For one thing, I'm cooking too many things at once for that to make much of an impact.
I have always tried to CAYG. (clean as you go) but I admit I got used to the idea of having employees do that for me.
I realize you were a working chef, so you had employees. But this reminds me of when a volunteer for some new baby organization came to see me after my triplets came home from the hospital. She walked into my house, looked around, and asked me, "Where are your staff?". I was so surprised, until I realized she was a rich volunteer who had no clue that sometimes triplets are born to people who don't employee anyone. So her job was to arrange my life to go smoothly (ie, perfectly). Not gonna happen with just me. (The town I lived in had tons of rich people.)
I like it!!! Tons of cabinets and counter space. All those stoves! I'd be in heaven during Thanksgiving and Christmas with all of the cooking/baking.
Like the stove!
I like all the counterspace, Capt. I don't have enough of it here. But I'd need more upper cabinets. For one, I'm not good at bending and digging around for stuff that close to the ground, and for another, my home is licensed for foster care of kids up to age 2. I'm required to have to have child-proof fasteners on the lower cabinets, so I use about half of them to store toys...no fasteners needed on those.
Do you have empty wall space ? If so, maybe you could shop around and locate a few more UPPER cabinets. Easy to install with a bare minimum of tools.
No, I have upper cabinets. I was talking about the pic that Capt posted. Great kitchen but few upper cabinets.
Oh, sorry. I misread your post.
This is truly lovely, but you'd have to have a staff to clean it, not to mention running shoes to get to everything. It's a nice dream, since probably none of us can afford it. But it might not be practical for one or two people.
Kinda like someone who loves cars, and dreaming about a Ferrari. I dream about cooking for a crowd.
Gorgeous. Just the right size for one person. You can reach everything.
You have found man heaven.
