It would seem to all be coming down to Italian design for the kitchen. Here’s how…
David sang in the Christ’s College Choir last weekend at some fund raiser so I took Cola for a walk in the city streets – a novelty for us both. I came across a store having a sale and discoverd the kitchen of my dreams. In full stainless steel Arclinia would be my unqustioned choice. While in Auckland I went to the larger showroom of the store – Matisse NZ and am seeing therio CHCh designer tomorrow. It may all be far too out of reach but watch this space…
I discovered, as in a ll things, I am going against the grain in that : I don’t mind SS smudges and scratches – they make it look as though its being used! Thsi would never do for Adrienne who would prefer the aluminium laminate.
Similarly, instead of getting a larger oven I have decided I want to ave a second gas oven – so one gas, one electric. This is most unusual it seems… why go gas when all things are going steam infused etc etc. – well my only answer is that I want teh slow cook function … and it will work in a power cut! Even in cities where gas is reticulated no one is buying gas… Maybe its a green issue?
On the way to Matisse I found myself in a high end wholesalers who had a great dispaly of the Designer’s Guild Royal Collection
. Such exquisite work makes life worth living.
