the left side of the kitchen which is not seen in the photos contains the sink, counter space and both washing machine and dish washer. all water related things had to be there. thus my inability to move around the cabinets. the drawers and the fridge are where they are because it would not have been possible to put them to the left of the oven. plus all the ikea cabinets had to be modified because the walls are all at odd angles and not one is straight. everything had to be modified because of this problem. my original idea was to intergrate the butcher block into the line of cabinets not be seperate. and also to use the empty wall to the right. but again, not possible. the fridge is to the right of the oven. the biblioteque idea was a way to express the overall look. it certainly doesnt look like a typical kitchen. it was a real challenge, including pulling hair and sheading many tears, to make it work. the space is 5m2 or 50 sq feet.

homemade anything-soups, casseroles, simple and good. honey-absolutely. but the minute something is labeled a trend we have a problem. lets just say eating better and lighter

i'd just like to comment on the clock, the yellow bar stools and the blue blue pool...its all real. i rented this house a few years back and it is more fabulous in real life than in the 4 photos. too bad we can't see the bedrooms (3) (mine being the green room and besides being en suite and huge had some fantastic chinese painting of a woman with blue skin) and the study. ask terry to send you some photos. its is a real piece of long island caught in the snare of mc mansions and phoney blahblah. i love it! unfortunately they won't sell!
