A Glance of My Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of a home….yes I do believe in this.

To me no matter how big or small your kitchen is, it should be functional, well organized, clean and of course beautiful. A kitchen reflects the personality of the lady in the house. As planets revolve around the sun in the solar system, all family activities revolve around the kitchen at home. It’s a place where traditional family desserts are cooked, daily basic meals are prepared, new dishes are invented and mid night cravings are satisfied. For me it is a place where not only tasty food is prepared, but also my passion for cooking is moulded.
A transferable job structure has allowed us to stay in different houses and explore new cities in these years. So rented house is the only option and every landlord in the world has one cardinal rule-don't mess with the house. A positive side of this is, there are so many ways to turn a house into home without much changes and this applies to the kitchen too. 

As days pass by my intimacy with my kitchen grows. While the stove burns and the refrigerator murmurs, the water tap over the sink gurgles with the rush of water and the cutlery creaks now and then the place easily gets animated. I fancy that there are invisible entities around me with their mysterious smell, sound and sense.

It was a modular kitchen before we moved in and as it's a rented place, we were not permitted to think about any structural changes.

There was a small free space on the wall, where I fixed a chalk board and just below that Mr. Hubby fixed a glass rack to keep some regular use coffee mugs. Don't know exactly why I am so much in love with this chalkboard...as I have made it or it beautifies my kitchen or it reflect my emotions time to time or it is a conversation starter or due to all reasons *smiles*. Other items in the frame below in the corner are some of my DIYs. 

Other side of the kitchen counter...

I love to keep both the sides of the kitchen counter clean and clutter free. Otherwise it reduces my working pace and as I have to rush for office I have to finish cooking breakfast and lunch by 8 am.

Here I display few nick nacks, the tea sets are my childhood treasures...I keep on changing the display items here, as they refreshes the look of the space. 

Some travel souvenirs..some freeze magnets...some baskets on the wall...completes this corner *smiles*

Hope you will like my kitchen tour...
