Kitchen

The kitchen was a real challenge because it is very small and I am a serious cook with lots of dishes, pots, pans, and cooking utensils but I made it work.

I combined my canister set with the ones I got for my Mom over 40 years ago. Mom gave me the fabric still life and it looks perfect over the sink. I have my other spice rack over here along with the all important coffee and tea makers.

The stove is a combination of mine and Mom's. Mom had the black decorations as well as the cup and bell. The other decorations are mine including the "It's Fun to Cook" statue. L'arpie Michele has taken residence between the microwave and the toaster oven. I am of the school of thought that refrigerators were made to hold magnets.

I have my unicorn cookie jar and I brought the one that has been in my parent's home since I was a child. The storage space in the kitchen is in short supply and very narrow. I ended up getting a large shelf for the rest of my cooking supplies. The answer to your question is yes I do use everything there on a regular basis. Like I said I am a serious cook and am even writing my own cookbook.
