Sometimes when I talk about what I'm doing on our little homestead people suggest things that would be useful in the kitchen. Our kitchen has one major downside - It's not very big! This limits the gizmo's I can have and limits me to a little hand blender and hand kitchen tools, not that that's a bad thing.
It measures just 10ft by 7ft but it has three doorways in it so making the usable space just 7ft by 7ft. This space includes the washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, sink, cooker and hob, plus just enough workspace to make a sandwich! In the 1950's, when they built this house, kitchen space wasn't such a priority as it is now.
Don't feel sorry for us though, we've got planning permission for an extension which will include a nice sized kitchen and this little kitchen will become a utility room. I plan on making the kitchen from scratch myself and we're going to spend a bit of time designing it so it works well for our little family and will last along time. a little more space would be nice though, it soon gets messy and some and when I'm dishing up food it can be a juggling act.
How big is everyone else's kitchen? Anyone got one smaller?
