I have a quick question about your kitchen, cause mine is about the same size and configuration... How do you find it having most of the prep space on the other side of the island/bench? I am thinking of extending our bar so as to fit a taller fridge and pantry where the current worktop is (the equivalent of where your stove and fridge are) But I'm concerned about having to move around the bar a lot, does this bother you guys? Or do you find either side of the sink sufficient?

I discovered airbnb this year and spend many a day dream travel drooling. My favourites are the unexpected ones... an island filled with teepees, a treehouse, a whole island in fiji. Yes please.

I grew up in a home -though in New Zealand, not New England- with an old Aga my parents had taken off the hands of some other couple, and that my father converted to gas. It was, and still is, used every single day in our house, and serves also to keep the house warm as it's lit for long periods each day.
It is one of my most beloved childhood memories, and is still the best oven I have ever known. So in my case, I would pick our beautiful old cream enameled aga oven, that made fantastic food and some of my favourite memories, over shiny fancy new ones anyday.

Besides, after having grown up with an oven that was always warm, I still can't figure out how to turn on most modern ones anyway!
