So, we have put a new kitchen in the house in Couze (actually Mark and Robyn have put a new kitchen in, with input and financing from us...). It is ALMOST finished, and I took some photos before I had a chance to crap it up with all the stuff I generally bring in to crap things up...
If you've either been here before, or seen photos, this place looks, shall we say, DIFFERENT. Several things are different that are not neces
sarily obvious...
Am having trouble with this business of positioning the photos...however, here's yet another photo, no telling where it will show up...
We got rid of the old table, chairs and hutch, because (I think they were mid-19th century Henri III style, oak not walnut, common here, ugly, I didn't like the stuff and Phil hated it, chairs unbearable, table rickety, and hutch useful but seriously ugly), and bought a 18th century 'table de chasse', unbelievably heavy, made for a basement kitchen where you would butcher boars and things, also too high, but at least it's REAL. Got some better chairs, too. The cupboards in the new kitchen actually have storage space; the drawers actually slide and don't fall apart; the cooktop and oven actually WORK. Whole new concept.
Stay tuned; I've cooked on both the cooktop and in the oven already...Looks good, n'est-ce pas?
