Of all the rooms in a home, I love the kitchen the best. Not my kitchen of course, it’s tiny with barely enough room to swing a cat. We’re looking at buying a flat and I’m highly disappointed in the allocation of space and the general layout of a lot of them.
There was a fabulous 120m2 flat on Marriot road, but for R975 000 it still needs a lot of work and money to reach its true potential. I’m not sure anything was done to the kitchen since the day it was built. It reminded me of one of those farmhouse kitchens in the free state. Old school tiles on the wall, lots of freestanding wooden cabinets, dark floor – I’m sure you know the type.
In any case, one thing I’ve always wanted is a medium to large kitchen with an island in the centre. It needs to ooze character while being as functional as it can be. The kind of kitchen featured in magazines with family and friends sprawled everywhere. Of course these thing cost money, and it helps if they have a fantastic house to go with it but a girl can dream can’t she.
Above is a selection of my favourite white kitchens on Elle Decor. My post title is a not so subtle nod to the TV programme starring Bradley Cooper before he was famous. It died a death after 13 episodes.
