h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In a sudden attack of spring cleaning, Yarreau has made the kitchen all shiny, so we thought we'd photograph it while it lasted

I've still not gotten around to doing the missing panels and trim and painting the doors, but since I have a paper to write, I don't think I'll have time until I get back from my Uk/Ireland trip.

Sooooo... This is what the kitchen looks like now, starting here:

And I found two "before" photos from when we first looked at the house...

Wow! What a difference!

It looks so clean and bright!

Oh my gosh, is that gorgeous!! I would DIE for a kitchen like that. When K and I buy a house, we are so hiring you to come do our kitchen and bathroom remodeling. (that wink is only half kidding, BTW )

Its looking fantastic!

mini

oh it's gorgeous

enhanced, of course, by the wooden chicken

That looks really lovely.

Congratulations! You are hired. Can you lay a brick stove, too?

Clicked my way through all the kitchen photos - great kitchen.

What a difference! And what ugliness before...

That looks really good! Thanks for posting more pictures.

I will say that the German habit of moving the kitchen with you is one of the odder ones, IMHO.

...in a land FULL of odd ones...

Your kitchen is altogether unique, functional and very homely

I think the chicken adds that last essential touch to any kitchen. I have one in mine.

I hear the takes comission work, but it'll be expensive, since she's so good...

I'm glad you all like it - we certainly do Finally, a kitchen with ROOM - to move in and to put things away. Yay!

And I agree. Taking the kitchen with you is a very silly habit!

What an improvement!

Is this kitchen-moving habit something typically German? Anyone doing this here in the Far North would be considered .

Dishwashers and washing machines however are not always part of the standard equipment in flats, so you might have to provide them yourself. On the other hand there is "always" a shared facility for washing clothes available.

I think if I saw that kitchen somewhere I'd want one just like it...
It turned out incredibly nice, sometimes I wasn't sure about the bold colour scheme, but it worked out very well in the end.

approve as well...

I am totally of your goregous kitchen. We have a tiny galley kitchen, and a quite big open-plan living room/dining area (separated by our stairs which go up the middle of the house.

has seen your pictures and started mumbling about making our dining room into the kitchen and the kitchen into a walk-in pantry.

Oh and yes - the Chicken-lady does take orders...

Yes, it is typically German - I've never heard of it happening elsewhere. But my last landlord even threatened not to refund my deposit if I didn't take the kitchen with me!

Sounds like a good plan, Sho. What's stopping you?
