ta :slight_smile: it’s a multi-fuel stove which used to be the centrepiece of a café the previous owners of the house once ran. It’s not linked to the cooker, which looks very aga-like but is a standard ceramic-hob electric oven deal. it replaced the god-awful hunk of junk the previous owners left behind, which tripped all the electrics in the house if not used in a very specific and not at all useful manner…

My nan also had that clock.

Kitchen is a piece of shit, way too small. The electric cooker is a joke, the flooring is coming up and there isn’t enough space. Only good thing is having my record player in the same room so I can listen to music while cooking/washing up.

We might be in a position to buy a place early next year and a priority is a decent kitchen that won’t drive my partner and I around the twist.

Close thread the only opinion we need.

Does that clock make that whirring sound at 11:40? Still gets me every time.

Yep

I find it strangely comforting

the full-size mural of Bobo Balde is on the other wall just out of shot…

I have a similar one that we had to move out of the bedroom as it’d freak me out every night.

Oh yeah. It’s all just wooden boxes anyway isn’t it.

:laughing: :+1:

Broadly happy with ours. Went for an under worktop fridge with fridge freezer in the garage which keeps it clean but maybe not the best idea on reflection. About a year old.

This thread made me annoyed with my kitchen more than usual. Got rid of the ladder shelf thing that did my head in and have put a little side unit thing in its place.

It means I cant shut the door if I keep it there but think it looks weird if I push it up closer to the black counter. So no door shutting it is.

Stupid shelf…

Makeover…

Everyone has a ‘bad cupboard’ in their kitchen right?

Y’know, where you keep all the sweets, crisps, biscuits & chocolate …maybe booze too ? Or is this only people who have kids?

All of my cupboards are bad cupboards then

Haven’t touched it since we moved in 7 years ago. It’s a good size with plenty of workspace and storage but it’s so messy at the moment. The oven is so old and useless and the grill but doesn’t work. One wall (and stairs) are blue.

It’s a big job to sort and one we want to do next ideally but…money.

Has about 18 plug sockets too oddly.
