I use to be a big fan of open plan but now I’m not so much. Its great for entertaining but not when you are trying to watch the TV and the other is cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Annoying I know! Its a hard life.

That said I do I love how this first kitchen is almost hidden.

And I just like this second kitchen because its cosy and moody. Makes having a open plan home a little easier to cope with.

Oh to have a place like this to hang out with your friends when you were teenager.

Although I don’t really like attics and basements because thats where the scary things hang out. Oooooo.

That would be me. Sorry I have been missing all week and now I am only here to say I won’t be in tomorrow either. Yep, I am off to the Hunter Valley for some tasty tasty wine tasting.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will be back next week with daily posts. I promise. Unless I get lost in a wine cellar.

I can’t wait for the day when we have a house with yard so we can build a little retreat like the one below. Somehow after doing our taxes this week I think this might be our house! Maybe we could build four of them in a row – one for the bedroom, one for the living area, one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom.

Full building instructions here.
