Europeans are fine with renting all their lives, same in London but here in the US many want to buy asap, sometimes even before they move towns. When kids are small they want to be close to you like puppies. Now the kids are teens I'm so glad they have the rec room (former garage) which we-they can close the door on!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-59711943720225484842013-10-21T13:36:54.457-07:002013-10-21T13:36:54.457-07:00We just made porridge and runny hunny everywhereWe just made porridge and runny hunny everywhereAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-64547985815964524582013-10-21T13:36:32.121-07:002013-10-21T13:36:32.121-07:00Yes, a lot of designers also said they disliked th...Yes, a lot of designers also said they disliked the vine leaf, buncha grapes Italian all over theme plus fake paint peeling overly Frenchy FrenchAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-37319548441427928222013-10-21T13:34:26.911-07:002013-10-21T13:34:26.911-07:00Fabuloso, esp great as you entertain the famous wa...Fabuloso, esp great as you entertain the famous wavy haired chefs - lucky you!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-87940731938690937972013-10-19T00:02:09.590-07:002013-10-19T00:02:09.590-07:00We just re-did ours in the UK, with the island, Am...We just re-did ours in the UK, with the island, American fridge freezer and white furniture.

American style where you theme a kitchen and decorate it around the theme... Italian for instance with bunches of fake grapes and ivy on the top of your overhead cupboards etc etc. <br />Agree with you about pantry and fridge out of the way of the main traffic routes... this was a big consideration when I designed my kitchen - we'll see if it works as planned hopefully soon! xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-43826460768078782862013-10-13T23:50:13.599-07:002013-10-13T23:50:13.599-07:00When all you have is fish, berries, nuts and hunny...When all you have is fish, berries, nuts and hunny, you don't need an elaborate kitchen.

As an English gal I love cubby holes and nooks and crannies and each room having it's seperate job. Having lived here for 6 years now and having had children for a couple more, I think the answer is to rent somewhere suitable for right now then move when it doesn't suit. For example, when my children were little, I wanted everything in one room so I could monitor them and cook at the same time. These days I like somewhere with separate eating spaces so I can't see the mess the little beggars make, much less hear their dinner conversation with their friends whilst I'm eating crisps with my mates in the other room.Jenny Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854166954576418334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-19804364467510774982013-10-11T19:26:48.091-07:002013-10-11T19:26:48.091-07:00I love our induction hob too.
