Kitchen/Dining Room
This is looking into the galley kitchen. The cabinets are Crosley steel cabinets, the type your mother or grandmother couldn't wait to get rid of. The fridge is a 1932 GE (the first year the compressor was placed underneath). The countertops are linoleum that I fabricated on site. The window above the sink opens and I'm thinking about puttin a compost bin right underneath it.
The counter is curvey to match the cabinets. In the corner is a lazy suzan.
Here it is open.
The fridge was from a summer cabin and didn't seem to have had much use. A giant 5 cubic foot capacity. Will make it hard to engage in conspicuous consumption. White wine has to lay on it's side.
There's a little floating counter between the dining and kitchen. I wanted something just high enough so that people sitting at the table couldn't see the dirty bowls and utensils used to prepare the meal.
There are two more leaves and three more chairs that go with this set, but we won't be using them most of the time. The dining area was designed so that everybody gets a view from the table.
This upper kitchen cabinet opens towards the dining table for napkins, salt & pepper, and other things that might be needed while dining.
