Improvements take place with agonizing slowness around here.<br /><br />P.J. - There is a lot of cat history in the kitchen, as well as learning and living.<br /><br />Talon- I can imagine that it's beautiful, and you are a patient and hard-working woman.<br /><br />Shawn- For just 2 people and 3 cats, it does see a lot of activity.<br /><br />Katherine- It is indeed the heart, and gathering place, of the house. Your kitchen post is proof of that in your house.<br /><br />Tina- Kitchens aren't just for cooking - there's talking, playing games, entertaining, nursing kitties, etc. Our kitchen isn't large either, but there's room for a table and two people to maneuver without bumping into each other...too much. It's stepping on the cats you have to worry about.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-9486299391423165612012-06-13T00:42:34.169-04:002012-06-13T00:42:34.169-04:00Great post!

Our kitchen is small, and I don't do a lot of cooking, but it's still where my husband and I do a lot of our talking.

We need a "remodel" but I don't have the patience for having it torn up for months. Our house is 130 year old Victorian and always a "work in progress" in one area or another. On day, that will include the kitchen.

Glad you stopped by. We have cats (no kids) but I still warn about hot dishes, etc. "Don't touch that, it's hot". I do this because I have picked up a frying pan that just came out of a 400 degree oven - without a mitt. Ouch!<br /><br />laughingmom- I like the idea of the kitchen opening into the family room/great room. Everywhere we go, the kitchen is definitely the gathering place.<br /><br />Nicki- It is. That is where families spend time together. <br /><br />Nicky- It really is. If we had recliners at the table, we'd probably never leave.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-47864287396716728442012-06-12T12:20:08.831-04:002012-06-12T12:20:08.831-04:00I love this post, Linda.
