Undoing The “Must-Haves” In A Kitchen
“I Must Have Granite and Stainless Steel Appliances!”
Ok, all you real estate agents, and at home HGTV watchers…how many times do we hear these very words? TOO OFTEN! Today we share our own minimal kitchen journey to totally debunk these must-haves in our kitchen.
The Holdover Kitchen
The old saying in real estate of, location-location-location, finally resonated with both Mr. LBD and moi at the same time. For years we’ve known that walkable, city neighborhoods are our playgrounds. We’ve paid big bucks to “live like locals” for a month at a time in cities all across this wonderful world. Nearly a year ago, we successfully acquired a full-time residence in our favorite city. Within this home, we also were the proud owners of a 12-year-old “must-have” kitchen.
The photo above shows the small kitchen with updated paint, and those stainless and granite amenities all shined up. Due to the city’s strict building permit restrictions…this space was what we functioned in every day. Looked good but was not the best use of space for how we live. We cooked often before the pandemic and, well, I don’t need to tell anyone that kitchens have become even more important to all of us now!
