The creative triangle. Kitchen creativity is drawn from the fridge and the fire and the sink. Food storage, food prep and cooking. What was once a 10×10 foot kitchen with the fridge behind another wall is now an efficient functional workspace.

It’s still sort of a 10×10 (or 6×6 if you’re only counting the room you have to work in. Countertops eat up a lot of space). Sure it meant moving a door and tearing out a wall and all new plumbing and electrical and gas, but is it ever worth it!

I cannot recall another creative problem-solving project that consumed so much time and energy but resulted in such a feeling of success.
