- Christchurch, New Zealand /
- About me:
- Our house was damaged beyond economic repair in the series of earthquakes here in 2010-2011. The insurance co. says rebuild will happen for us mid 2013, so just in case they are on schedule I better get my ideas sorted! /
- My favorite style:
- Contemporary modern cottage that somehow works with our eclectic furniture

A Single-Wall Kitchen May Be the Single Best Choice

Laura A single wall kitchen is ok, UNLESS it's right next to the living area. I would not want my couch (or any upholstered furniture, really) that close to the kitchen. Yuck. Having a table or island to separate things and do double duty (prep/eating area) would be fine though. Some of the kitchens featured are really lovely.

chemistrykaren What a great thread, with some fabulous pics. I have a recently finished one-wall kitchen in my little Victorian house, and adore it. Of course it's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me :). It makes best use of the space I had to work with after knocking down some partition walls to get a view through and door to the back garden. Behind two bi-fold doors to the left are a washing machine with furnace above, and a utility/powder room.
