7 favourite things in the kitchen

I enjoyed reading about this kitchen by someone who visited me and I visited them on our blogs.

I would love a block like that, there is one in the Christmas hamper catalogues I think, or something like it.

What would everyone's seven favourite things be?

Some of these things take a little thinking.

1. I love the colours on my kitchen walls.
2. I love the view over the shed and to the hill behind an old house.
3. My old cupboard.
4. My rose cutlery, maybe dated, but I love it.
5. I love the chai tea in the cups cupboard when I open it.
6. My cream carver chairs that I mentioned before.
7. My vintage sugar bowl.

Wow, I found seven.

Cute post. I think my kitchen is even smaller than hers, and at 20 years old is very tired indeed. It was a temporary solution until we could afford a better kitchen...

Don't think there are 7 things I love in there, but let's try:

1. Meat safe. I've always loved meat safes (pie safes) and we bought this one in Adelaide.

2. My pantry. I do love a good pantry, and although the kitchen is small, they were able to maximise the pantry.

3. The dishwasher. Of course.

4. The gorgeous glass bowl on the meat safe, in which I keep fruit. It was a gift from a sort-of Aunt.

5. I'll stretch it out to 7: the butter pats that I bought at a now-closed local junk store.

6. The very old iron, I think they're called flat irons. It's black and is solid metal; no electricity when these were around!

7. The other stuff on the meat safe: a WWII ration peanut butter jar, a non-working and very old kitchen timer, and the ceramic ink bottle found under my parent's house when they demolished it to make way for the new house. They never lived in the old house, so no sentiment there, but what was nice is that it was the builder who found it and gave it to me as he knew it would be something I'd like.

As for the chopping block in the post you've linked to, Br, they've got very similar ones at Ikea. I occasionally spot a proper old butcher's one, but can't fit (or afford!) it.
