Why did you choose your forum name plus photos of our kitchens

[Amy :-)]

Thanks ladies

I am very excited to post another couple of photos. Did everyone notice the grey piece of carpet next to the bin in my kitchen? Well, that ugly piece of carpet was covering an ugly hole in the floor. Until the carpenter came around yesterday and patched up the hole! Yay! I know its only a small development, but you wouldn't believe how many times we forgot that hole was there and nearly broke our ankles in it So we're very happy its not there anymore

Hi Amy,

I was interest to read your post about your kitchen. We're renovating and are having a new kitchen as well. Another 4 weeks to go until the work is done and I really can't wait. As it often happens with renos one does more than one first plans to do. Hopefully I will be happy with the end result, as it hasn't been easy to live with the dust, and I miss the normality of everyday life.

Hope things work out well for you too

Amy and JulieO - I noticed you both have large ovens. Are you happy with the Omega brand you have? Anything you don't like?

Ooooh desi, that sounds exciting! I hope you will post photos? Yes, ours has been changing a lot as we've been going along too, but we're also having renovations to the lounge room, bathrooms, laundry... pretty much everywhere except the bedrooms really! Its been a work in progress for a few years now because our carpenter, plumber and electrician are all family friends and do most of the work on weekends as a sort-of side job to their normal work. We can't complain about the rate its been progressing though, since we're getting it a lot cheaper and we know these guys are very thorough and good at their jobs! Its slow but very exciting whenever the next little bit gets finished
Thank you, I hope your renovations make your home a lot nicer for you as well

Hi Tasty! We have only had our omega oven for a few months, but so far it has been fantastic Our previous oven was very old and the fan and light didn't work properly, and the stove-top elements either cooked at the highest temperature or not at all. So to have this brand new oven that works properly is a dream come true for me, especially since I love cooking and baking so much The only thing I didn't like at first was that I couldn't figure out what the symbols around the dial meant, and sometimes I still forget. I would also prefer a grill as a separate part to the oven like our old oven was, but these are minor things that I can easily work around. It is just so exciting to have a new toy

What a fascinating thread!!! Have only just found it and I am working my way thru it ... slowly!!

My forum name is a combination of DH .... Don & myself Patricia = Donicia!!

My kitchen is the front end of our caravan ... not very ultra modern but mobile ... so if we don't like the neighbours/weather/scenery we just move

I love that idea Patricia! And you are lucky that your names fit together to make something that sounds groovy. Good one!

How long have you lived in a caravan for? You can't have much bench space in a caravan kitchen!

Amy, I bet it's a lot less breezy with the hole in your floor gone.

Donica, I'm sure you fing TMX very handy in the caravan.

It sure is Michele! But there is still one in the wall behind the oven, and thats the one that freezes my tootsies in the mornings and evenings I can't wait until that one is gone too, but we have to wait for the electrician to finish wiring stuff

Our Thermomix has been really great in the van we bought a carry bag and each time we move it goes in the bag and on the floor next to the bed and travels safely there. We make a lot of stews, curries and combo meals and it does all the hard work for us and is then so easy to  clean.

Amy, what a cute little kitchen.

Thanks Robyn The "little" part sometimes gets a bit tedious though!

You know Patricia, you have inspired me to want to do something like that. It sounds like lots of fun How much does a caravan cost?
And TM gets an adventure!
