Today I am featuring Heather's kitchen in Pennsylvania USA. It's another unusual kitchen which proves, yet again, how diverse we all are.
Heather writes:
"We live in an octa-decagon shaped house that we built from a kit, so our kitchen is a little unconventional, but works just like any other kitchen.
My husband & a friend made the cabinets from leftover wood from our ceiling. You will see that I have my calendar/house binder, cookbooks & bread bowls stored on the island. My sink is a double-bowl stainless steel w/ a curved-neck spout for filling big stock pots.When I look out my kitchen sink window, I see our chicken coop & can check on the chooks.
Our kitchen is part of our "great room" so when I'm busy in the kitchen, I can help my girls with their school work, talk w/ visitors & be warmed by the woodstove all at the same time! Most of our walls in the great room are windowed, so we use a lot of natural light & rarely have to turn the lights on during the day."
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.
Wow! A beautiful kitchen....You have so much storage space! And natural light is such a blessing....You and your family sound very much doers, and busy people, and I applaud you for this!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! Is this a Deltec home? We looked into building one of these and even attended a workshop about them up in NC several years ago. I still LOVE the idea of them but we are leaning more toward a more cottage style home. The kitchen is amazing in you home and I love the fact you used "leftovers" to build them.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks like heaven to me! I absolutly love it.
ReplyDeleteA lovely kitchen, warm and inviting, well done.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this kitchen. Wish we could see pictures of the rest of the "Great Room", as well as the outside of the house. I know there are houses out there, but I have no idea about them. It's nice to see a real one being lived in. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see a Pennsylvania kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWe are in PA as well.
I love how open it is and that you have many windows. I can see our chickens from my kitchen window and love to watch them, as well.

ReplyDeleteWhat a super kitchen, and your husband and friend did a lovely job making those cupboards!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally one of my favorite kitchens you've shared so far - I can imagine living and working and being here in this space w/ all that natural wood and sunlight - just absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job your husband and friend have done with this delightful kitchen. I love the neutral colour and the airiness and openness of the whole space. Well done. I bet you are making some wonderful memories in this very workable space.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful kitchen. I love how open it is.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the layout of your kitchen. It looks well thought out and I love that you used the left-over wood for cupboards.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of fabulous cupboards. you clever things.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful kitchen. Love the light and colour.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and clean with the light wood. Lovely! There is an octogonal house near us and I have daydreamed about what it might look like in side. Thanks for the peek.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitchen. I love all the wood and the unusual shape.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool house! I love the look of the natural wood cabinets especially.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea you can fill large pots at the sink, and am so envious you can see chooks! In my yacht-home, I have to settle for mainly gulls and cormorants but then, I do have water views! Lovely kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool house shape! Love the kitchen, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place to care for your family. I love all the light and your wood cabinets are very pretty. We have quite a few octo=houses around our area, so I'm familiar with them. Always thought it would be fun to live in one.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS everyone for the nice comments - we have been blessed & hope to continue using our home to bless others. You can see more about the type of house we have at www.deltechomes.com
