Hunky Dory at 65/Cooking

I love what I call Adventure cooking; the more spices and other weird ingredients, the better. So here's a cute little kitchen all decked out for me.


For Thanksgiving I made Yorkshire pudding. Here is the table all ready.
There are eggs and milk, a whisk, a cookbook, and laptop so I can get the recipe.
I've got a little snack of bread, cheese and wurst.
There's a Corona and a crossword puzzle I am trying to add the last 4 letters to.
No quite sure why the open can of pudding is there; maybe I thought
I needed it for the Yorkshire "pudding,"


Nice sideboard laden with the necessities.


Simple things.


Little fridge and a bulletin board to keep up with life.


Water kettle for the all important coffee making. Spices and cooking tools.


Extra storage.


Fire extinguisher, steps to access hard to reach areas and a recycling bag.


Closer and inside views showing all the cool stuff.

Plates and bowls.


Rolling pin, skillet and serving trays.


Cutlery.


Chopsticks.


Snack drawer with Nestle Crunch and Smarties.


Extra plates.


Camping grill and plate.


Dishes above sink.


Dirty dishes in sink.


First aid kit and plunger under the sink.


Dinner cooking in oven.


Noodles and wine.


Well stocked fridge.


Beer and Coke.


Meat and sausages.


Veggies.


Full pantry.


Toaster.


Espresso maker.


Mixer.







It took me forever to finish this scene. I dithered around trying to make the refridgerator shelves out of Legos as the entire inside is really a big void. I have had the refridgerator since I was about 9 years old and I really love it but I wanted to be able to put things in it and make it look somewhat real. So I was able to make the shelves out of Legos today....finally. The drawers are Re-Ment but they work well here.
The blue and white sideboard and cabinet are German made by Modella (I think). The sink, stove and little cabinet are PlanToys which I painted white. The table and chairs are vintage found for me by my nephew Nicholas. The foods and kitchen implements are Re-Ment, Playmobil, Kaleidoscope House, L'il Woodzeez, Barbie or misc. things from here and there. The whisk, bowl, cookbook and eggs are from my sister Erika.

Brick Fixation


I got this little sink awhile ago at the Saturday Kiwanis Sale and have been trying to figure out how to "sink" it into some kind of counter.  Since I have been on this Lego jag lately (my son and I made a Tardis...you know, Doctor Who's time machine..the other day) I had the brilliant idea to build a cabinet around it.  


We got the idea to use this roof plate but it has a slant to it.  My son suggested that if we canted it a bit we could pull it off.


So, here it is.  As you can tell our Legos are not that pristine.  Took about 4 hours to get the dimensions and spacing so that the sink would align perfectly.  FUN!


Sink is great for bathing baby


and for washing loads of dishes.

"Wood"n't You Want To Live Here?...I "Wood"

Goin' for the natural wood look.


The picture is a little "grainy."






Nice warmth of wood in the kitchen, too.


All set for Kaffeeklatsch with some beignets.










And, upstairs, a purple bedroom.













All homes are better with a chimp who loves ChocoSmoothie.




A big thank you to my sister and her family..my brother-in-law and nephew found the vintage wood furniture at an antique store...for this wonderful birthday present.
Thanks to my son Will for the wood plant pedestals and bedside table. He's quite the connoisseur of wilder wood. He also gave me the MooCow chocolate milk, the Sugar Flakes and the really big sandwich. Scenes are always better if someone "messes" with them a bit. Will added the chimp.

Here's how it all looks when you get a full view.
