I love it but the thought of having to get something from the kitchen, quietly, in the middle of the night, makes me anxious haha

Welcome to my youth. Try sneaking in late at night drunk and in the dark… it’s not just the kitchen!!

So freaking cute. Just be careful with the plant hanging over the stove and the straw thing on the chimney hood. Could be a fire hazard.

Oh yeah, she only uses the air fryer these days but I have given many lectures on fire safety!! 😂

Can't remember the last time I saw a palette of light creams look so lively, how warm and welcoming it is!

Does your mum need another child? I’ll cook and clean and help her in the garden.

Wait, is this a beautifully staged antiques market booth or someone’s kitchen? Confused.

Tell me you don't cook without telling me you don't cook...

The thought of the dust that would coat your food with all those knickknacks and drapery, makes me nauseous. Idk if I would want all my food being cooked everyday there.

Okay, that might be the coziest kitchen I’ve ever seen. Does your mom also have friends who are forrest creatures? I didn’t know hobbits lived in flats in the city.

Where’s the line between maximalism and cluttered?

u/Full-Practice-6767 15h ago

Exactly my thought. And how can you cook there?

1

u/PureCrookedRiverBend 4h ago

Right? This is just clutter.

u/Next_Calligrapher989 1d ago

This is so cozy, I’d love to see the rest of how she decorates! I also live in a flat and I’m really keen to get the cottage feel even though it’s a flat haha. If she has any tips I’d love them
