Hi, jmb. no, no dishwasher. There is draining space beside the sink, yes. But I can't do floorplans - can't do anything involving drawing and / or maths! I adore Port Meirion tiles. I've got some casserole dishes in the botanic garden design. Sally, I like looking out on roads if they are busy! - Like signs of life, you see! CC, agree counter space matters. I've got a nice kitchen trolley I brought with me from UK and I mostly use that for preparation. Lee, a lot of people have told me they've been having comment trouble past few days so it's google again! A narrow cupboard might be the answer as there is a storeroom off the kitchen [which I have filled, naturally!] Me? - Assemble something??!!

We solved some of the suds misery by buying a dishwasher and putting it outside. It is a bit of a chore to load and unload, but better than doing it all by hand. That single handly improved my domestic life dramatically. The single most imporant thing for me is counter space. I like to spread out and make a big mess when I am cooking.Colin Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991363859883869289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-31009126312896166802007-04-15T22:35:00.000+02:002007-04-15T22:35:00.000+02:00Oh, c/u, I'm a hoarder!

I can't do floor plans - that's mathematical! no room in middle of kitchen as when I arrived all my friends here were horrified I didn't have a kitchen table [Itals live life in the kitchen] so I gave in and got one! There is a store cupboard off the kitchen and if I could find a cupboard narrow enough to go in there, that might be the answer. Only one sink, Bonnie. That's a good idea you have there!Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-68056688283765352982007-04-15T01:09:00.000+02:002007-04-15T01:09:00.000+02:00wish my kitchen looked out onto my garden...instea...wish my kitchen looked out onto my garden...instead it looks out onto the road which is not a nice view !!sally in norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074893417920674907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-5160223728720999552007-04-14T23:24:00.000+02:002007-04-14T23:24:00.000+02:00Well my sink is not under a window but I gaze at P...Well my sink is not under a window but I gaze at Portmeirion Botanic Garden tiles, three different ones mixed with white ones, when I have to stand at the sink.<BR/><BR/>I think these drainer things are a holdover from not having a dishwasher, which lots of people do nowadays. Do you WCLC? If you make the cupboard do you have somewhere to drain the dishes or would that take away your precious counter space?<BR/><BR/>I have a huge kitchen, 18 feet by 13 feet, filled with tons of cupboards and an island. But every cupboard is chock-a-block full of stuff, because I never throw anything out and continue to buy things!<BR/>As James says we need more info including floorplans before we can sensibly advise.<BR/>Regards<BR/>jmbjmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-85178248433566750542007-04-14T19:57:00.000+02:002007-04-14T19:57:00.000+02:00I do a lot of dishes around here.

I'd rather not see the dandelions growing outside my kitchen window. <BR/><BR/>Do you have two sink basins or only one? If you have two, you could get one of those dish drainers that rests over the second sink basin, and then you'd have room for a food cupboard over the sink. <BR/><BR/>I say make a cupboard over the sink, but designate it for the frequently-used utensils. Then you can use the cupboard you used to store them in for a food cabinet.Ballpoint Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052642068447293589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-21438223703871638432007-04-14T17:19:00.000+02:002007-04-14T17:19:00.000+02:00I also like looking out whilst washing up....all t...I also like looking out whilst washing up....all the birds come on to the tree outside...where I have placed some feeders for the nuts and trees.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-56693261884627877672007-04-14T12:24:00.000+02:002007-04-14T12:24:00.000+02:00the more cupboards in the kitchen the more you fil...the more cupboards in the kitchen the more you fill them . however many you had would not be enough.
