I believe that a kitchen shouldn’t just be functional. It shouldn’t be austere. It shouldn’t be the domain solely of the microwave and the coffee pot. It should be joyous and beautiful: the heart of the home.
My last flat had a tiny galley kitchen. There wasn’t room to swing a cat. But I still painted it Moroccan lapis blue and put stars on the ceiling. It felt like I was cooking beneath the desert sky!
And I think: what’s the point of owning stuff if it just lives in the cupboard?
Let’s jolly it up a bit. Let’s use our beautiful things. If it breaks, it breaks. At least you enjoyed it for a while. And let’s face it, it was made to be used.
So I’m going to introduce you to some of my favourite kitchen pieces, gadgets and design — stuff that was made to be functional and beautiful. Kitchenalia which I think is fantastic. When I do, I’ll post it here in “Kitchen Couture”.
Everything here’s for sale, first come, first served. Just email or twitter me for prices and availability, and we’ll take it from there.
