Kitchen Pix

For athenais and everyone else who is interested in what the kitchen I am raving about actually looks like, a few pictures.
First, though, imagine a 13 year old, by now slightly off-white, not exactly expensive, chip-board with white plastic finish kitchen which was never supposed to last this long, where you had to be careful how far you'd open a drawer so it wouldn't come loose. And now, feast your eyes upon this!
( warning: biggish images follow )

All the drawers are metal and run on metal rails, the door handles are heavy, the wood is massive, there's a plastic border around the sink area so that no water can run behind it, and the colour scheme is called "Mariposa".
The room itself hasn't become bigger, but it seems to be nevertheless. What more does a body need?

And now I'm off to watch the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics.
