An observation on kitchen size and what is the best.
The house we live in is on the market and people are coming to view it. The kitchen is quite small and some potential buyers have commented on the size, with a sigh.
When I thought about this I remembered how in our previous home, which had a large kitchen, many of our guests (and the agents) would comment, with great excitement, on how L A R G E the kitchen was.
The truth is, as any aspiring Jamie Oliver home chef will tell you, is that a small, well-designed, kitchen is better, much better.
But a LARGE kitchen looks impressive.
Just a thought.

I have heard I’m not really a water-person statement so many times. But what does it really mean? You come from water, you drink water, and it turns out – water knows you very well whether or not you want to be part of the relationship. We are all water people, you might just not […]
Why is a 216-year-old voluntary member-based organisation like the Cape Chamber of Commerce thriving under lockdown? It shouldn’t – when times get tough, members will look at their expenses and cut those that are ‘voluntary’. People tend to pay their utilities, because if you don’t pay, you don’t get to play. And heaven forbid we […]
