“A picture of your kitchen.”

Welcome to my tiny kitchen!

1st row (L-R): Some of you have seen my ref door. Nothing much has changed since I posted it for The Ref Door Project. It’s still full of magnets and little notes.

The semi-blank block is where I do my chopping and dicing. That’s also where the vitamins are placed and where a plastic container with a half-empty pack of Granny Goose chips sits. That’s my kettle, my microwave and at the bottom is a mini-oven I’ve only used once!

Here’s my kitchen sink and my dish dryer. Since there’s no electrical outlet nearby, I only use the dryer as storage for my dishes.

2nd row (L-R): I keep some lotion by my sink. After I wash the dishes, I moisturize my hands to keep them from drying up. There’s also a container of Glass Wipes here. This is for cars, but I’ve discovered it also works well in giving my mirrors, sink and tiles some shine. It cost only P58 at the D-I-Y store at Greenhills. Go get some!

Here’s to wellness! These are some of the vitamins we take. There’s also a bottle of Apple Cider vinegar that I should take every morning. I forget most of the time. There’s a bottle of honey from Ilog Maria which tastes reaaaally good. H & I are resting from taking this every morning though because we’ve gotten a bit “umay” (tired?) with the taste. Then there’s VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) which we heard is good for anything. I didn’t like the taste but I’m looking forward to trying out the chocolate-flavored one. Also in the pic is Berocca, our personal favorite! We swear by its effectiveness.

And finally, Good Luck Bear. He keeps me company while I wash the dishes. He’s settled inside a plastic teapot in one corner by the sink. I ♥ Good Luck Bear. He’s my favorite Care Bear.

So there you have it! A little tour of our little kitchen in our rented home. There isn’t much space to move around. I would love to have a bigger kitchen someday.

My dream kitchen would be spacious. It’ll have a large space for cooking. I’d love to have a big oven so I can learn how to bake cakes and bread! There’d also be a huge island that’ll double as a preparation area and a breakfast area. I’ll also have a shelf filled with cookbooks and foodie books, e.g. Anthony Cappella’s “The Food of Love.” I’ll have plants and herbs on the window sill too. I already have a picture of my dream kitchen in mind. Someday I’ll have that.

Tell me about your dream kitchen. Do you have your dream kitchen yet? If you do, good for you! If not, let’s work towards making that dream come true!

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
