A writing book exercise-
describe your first kitchen.
Eat-in kitchen, heart of the home.
People used to decorate with a theme.
Trivets, salt & peppers to match,
tea towels and canisters. A pantry.
Formica counters, linoleum floors, upgrade
with a roll of no-wax Congoleum.
Ceramic tile squares. A single or a double sink.
Now it’s granite and stainless
a glass doored fridge. Fancy lights
spotlight what’s cooking.
Some people order take-out.
Grab a bite, on the fly.
The first kitchen I remember was in the home I grew up in – round table in the middle, not much counterspace but room for everything that mattered. Linoleum floor. We also had a huge diningroom with a table for 25 of us to sit around to Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas or any happy gathering. I always sat at the end on a piano stool with my mom. Good memories, and it’s hard to think that 50% of my loved ones are already in Heaven.
Window in the perfect spot, too. Love the sunlight shining into a kitchen. It’s the first thing I would add to my kitchen arrangement if we ever moved.

Had a peg board in my first kitchen
Looks a lot like my Germany kitchen….size doesn’t matter
julia child had a peg board too
I have a huge kitchen but hardly any counter space. It needs redone,but I like the oldness of it.
Love it! is that a wooden floor with area rug?
You and Mary really learned how to do things!!
Wow to think she had all her friends for dinner last week. Neat kitchen.
Fabulous!
James Beard thought kitchens should be small.
