I love my kitchen!

There turned out to be so many photos, this will have to be a two-parter.

Well, we have had the new kitchen for something like five whole days now, and I still absolutely love it!


The most important place in the entire kitchen is, of course, right at the entrance:

The cat food corner, with the supplies right there at hand.

This one is more important to the humans:  the coffee machine! The coffee mugs are stored in the cabinet underneath.


Speaking of the cabinets underneath, here they are.  They hold (so far) serving dishes, coffee supplies and the overflow of baking supplies.


We then move around the corner to the "Tall Cabinets".



First of all we have the built in microwave and oven.  Underneath are two deep drawers which hold the baking pans and microwave dishes. Love the elevated oven, my back appreciates it soooooo much.


Next is a wonderful pantry, called an Apothecary's cabinet in German.  Anyone know the English name?



And then comes the refrigerator.  Small by American standards, large by German standards.  All the built-in appliances are totally typical, too.

Oops, don't seem to have photographed the fridge door, but you can see it above.  Underneath it is a very deep drawer, which is fantastic for holding tall and heavy stuff.


That's the dishwasher, also built in and disguised.  It flashes the time left on the programme on the floor!  Have to get a photo of that next time I run it.


It's a bit hard to see, but the dish drainer it etched into the stone countertop.  It is not really granite, but some kind of natural stone, virtually indestructible allegedly.



There are two drawers underneath the sink.  Is this clever or what?


and the bottom drawer has built in trash bins, for all the sorting and recycling we have to do:


Hope you enjoy this look at the details in the kitchen.  More to come later!
