You, me and the kitchen sink

Today's kitchen is in South Australia and it's Sue Joy's.  She writes:

"We built this kitchen onto our house around 7 years ago. I designed it and I love it probably more today than I did back then. On my sink is my first knitted dishcloth (I am the world's slowest knitter) and the produce plucked from our garden this morning; chillies and heirloom tomatoes to go into pasta sauce and a basket full of eggs that my daughter takes up to the chook house every day.

My collection of cows sit happily above the sink as a reminder of where I grew up on a dairy farm. We do not have a dishwasher, I love to do the dishes by hand looking out over parkland and tree tops as we live high on a hill.

I use our island bench for all of my chopping, mixing etc. From this view I get to see who is running up the passage-way and in the dining come sewing room, my vintage and antique furniture (the meatsafe on the left is from the late 1800's), and my beautiful puppy Heidi the Pug. What you can't see in the photo is Sophie's handmade wooden kitchen sink and oven behind the bench, so we really have 2 sinks in our kitchen.

Our kitchen is definately the heart of our home, there's always someone in it ready for a chat. This room makes me smile and I am always comfortable and happy here.

I have 2 blogs, the first being for all of my crafty obsessions at www.suejoy.blogspot.com and for health, home and garden, www.sue-brown.blogspot.com"

 

Please don't forget to comment. A comment is like payment for the time taken to post, and in this case in sending in the photos.  Many of us were enthusiastic about this series, so make sure all the photos get a good number of comments.  I don't want any of the people sending in photos to regret joining in.  Thank you friends.
