They evoke feelings of trust (how many secrets and confessions haven't been shared sitting on the kitchen bench..!?!) and harmony. <br />I loved and still love company in the kitchen when I cook, and remember standing on a stool next to my mother (probably driving her nuts at times..) 'helping' her cook. We also always had our 'after school snacks' in the kitchen (all formal meals in the dining room), we baked many great creations on the bench, watched my dad clean game food after an Autumn hunt. Also lots of fabulous memories of festive foods being prepared in there, trays of ornate deserts in the fridge with signs saying 'do not touch!'.. To this day, if asked, I would always choose the kitchen as my favourite room in a house. <br />Hugs<br /><br />xx CharlottaCharlotta Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758013454341639663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048549394608972652.post-85569567133089351572010-12-14T22:33:07.813+00:002010-12-14T22:33:07.813+00:00I love kitchen #2 best of all, though they are all...I love kitchen #2 best of all, though they are all pretty terrific!<br />Love your kitchen memories. <br />I know that everyone wants to be in the kitchen during a party, so you are right in wanting it to be the star!!!<br />Merry Tuesday Will<br /><br />Much love,<br />TerriLa Dolfinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890526795159739411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048549394608972652.post-47806688224275130672010-12-14T22:11:00.507+00:002010-12-14T22:11:00.507+00:00Love that first tip - then again, I am so indecisi...Love that first tip - then again, I am so indecisive that I could change the bright accessories for a new look all the time!<br /><br />Always so great Will.<br /><br />LeighaLeighahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402823468965797979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048549394608972652.post-84299828378514045312010-12-14T19:52:34.171+00:002010-12-14T19:52:34.171+00:00Sign me up for the second kitchen!

I prefer a simple foundation — the ubiquitous white subway tile, for instance — so I can swap out accessories on a whim or with the change of seasons. My job at Christmastime has always been to polish the silver with my grandmother, a rather mindless task (I can't cook!) but a delightful opportunity to catch up for an hour or so.
