I'm dreaming of kitchen islands in the new house.
I've been pinning my self silly with pictures of white light New Hampton style kitchens and sending them to the kitchen designer.

We can do it if I want...... if I have the money and time but that is where I'm falling a teensy bit short at the moment.
Also I am short a lifestyle when my whole life can be on display as I have a real family with active kids and while I like the idea of walking into the house and seeing my amazing kitchen and beautiful living area, the reality will be piles of school shoes, bags and sporting equipment if I don't plan storage accordingly.
Anyhoo that is the subtle but totally worthwhile advice I got from the kitchen designer when we met on site to measure up the space. She came up with some great ideas for a beautiful kitchen with an island which included removing walls and opening up the whole space.
It sounded ah-mazing! Exactly what I wanted for my pin-perfect new house.
But I own a cafe now and I don't have time to run around and make sure the house is camera ready and truthfully I never did, only 2 rooms in the old house ever looked that way most of the time.
So some compromise is going to have to occur.
A few different versions have been drawn up for the new kitchen but in the meantime I'll keep on island dreaming.
