Yes, I know, practically unheard of. But, you see, I have this new kitchen. Husband built it for me. It’s really too scrumptious not to share.
Oh, there is a little bit of crafting at least. Made by my lovely mother-in-law.
Moo thinks our new kitchen is pretty alright too….but it was exhausting watching it being built.
Of course, we all know a new kitchen will dramatically improve my crochet! 😀
i love the strategic position of Moo. Is she ever allowed to move form there?
Haha! Nope, she’s our new floor decoration. x
You could have a twin row of spic holders – the second row being small amounts or yarn.
And a third row….. various selection of choccies or lollies like jelly babies…..
Wow your kitchen is fantastic!! Elegant, gorgeous!!! I love the red and black! Very well done!! I see it is Moo approved too!! I’m so happy for you!! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Thanks so much Lisa! It’s actually a hot pink splashback (not red)… it looks pinker in real life, but somehow came up red in the photo. Yes, Moo is most impressed… she can slink in incognito on the black floors. 😀
Wow it’s beautiful! I love the colours and the open shelving unit with your crockery. Clever hubby! Nice to get a brief glimpse of you in the first photo too 😉
Thanks Bec! Yes, I love the open shelving too. Husband is convinced it’s going to get too dusty, but I really don’t care. I was wondering if anyone would notice me in that pic. In the others I set the camera to ‘remote’, but forgot on that one. 😀
Really nice!!!!

Thanks Ale xxx
You are sooo lucky. What a fantastic place to cook – I could live in it!
Thanks so much!
Looks amazing! My favourite is your fridge/book shelf. The colours in the dining area are so warm and comforting.
Thanks Debra! Yes, the bookshelf is probably one of my favourites too. It wasn’t originally planned, but then we saw some space.. and also realised we had nowhere to put the cooking books!
Fabulous! You must have a very good husband. Enjoy your gorgeous space.
Thanks Missy x
Super kitchen. Your husband is very talented. Moo seems to like it. Enjoy many peaceful, warm gatherings there.
Thanks so much. xxx Yes, I’m actually contemplating a little dinner party to celebrate 😀
It’s sooooper gorgeous!!
Thanks so much! It hasn’t actually encouraged me to cook more yet, but I’m sure it will… at least I know that’s what husband is hoping for. 😀
Haha!
I now have total and utter kitchen envy! 🙂
I especially love your herb & spice rack – a great space-saving idea 🙂
Moo looks totally exhausted from all that supervising – a cat’s work is never done! Lol
Thanks Katy. Yes, I’m really pleased with the herb and spice rack. It used to just stick to the side of the fridge, but it looks so much better like this.
Oh. My. Gosh. I absolutely love it! I have to show my boyfriend right away! Everything is perfect!!!
Thanks so much Hannah! Yes, I’m so pleased with husband’s effort.. I really think he was very clever. 😀
A wonderful kitchen, you are so lucky to have a man who can. My lovely hubby is not so good at this kind of stuff but he looks after us well and cures all our ailments with love and care, and his doctoring skills of course. Moo looks so comfy and I am sure needed the rest after all the supervising of the kitchen build.
Thanks so much. xx Yes, Moo found the supervision completely exhausting. A puppy’s work is just never done.
I can see why your kitchen is distracting you! And why not show off your husband’s beautiful work – he deserves it =)
Thanks so much. Yes, he does deserve it… he is very clever! 😀
Oh and I forgot to ask, is that a burner made for woks in the middle of your range? Only I’d heard of those and am very curious.
Hi Hannah. Yes, it’s a wok burner… it has 3 gas rings on it, so it gets really hot. A lot of the stove tops / hot plates in Australia have this option. It’s fabulous. Although, you do need to make sure you have a good range hood to suck up all the smoke!
What a beautiful kitchen! I love that you have built-in shelves for the cookery books!
Thanks so much. xxx Yes, I still find myself just gazing at it.. although the table is now covered with granny squares.. which of course is only an improvement!
Indeed!
Your kitchen turned out absolutely stunning!! Good job to hubby!!
Thanks so much! Yes, I’m quite pleased with the kitchen AND the hubby! 😀
