i want the kitchen to have black and white tiled floors. with a cuisinart on the counter. and none of that terrible fluorescent lighting. i'll employ lamps if i have to. or chinese lanterns. and i will make guacamole from scratch. always. because, this i can do. and a three tiered apron will i wear as i sit in front of the oven, willing the bread to rise. you will peek your head in and laugh. and i will throw mine back. and there in our tiny kitchen under the christmas lights and hanging pans, we will dance. circling ever closer to the curly-corded phone that you will raise to your ear and dial for take-out. and then, i will laugh. and you will catch me mid-guffaw. with a kiss. and with that kiss you will swallow my laugh. and sustenance will i have provided.
and that will be our kitchen.

Meg, this is beautiful, and it's been a dream of my own as well...for as long as I can remember. :)
Lovely description of the ideal kitchen and kitchen moments! I long for my own space too - to design to my own tastes (kind of sick of sharing with roommates!)!
What a delight to read this Thursday afternoon!

don't forget music from an old record player in the background...
Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. -Harriet Van Horne

I was sipping my coffee this morning, when I remembered that I hadn't checked your blog in a few days. I pressed play on the Lisa Mitchell video below (love her) and listened while I read this post. And it was perfect. Toe tapping, sigh inducing perfection. They were a lovely little duo of mediums. Thank you Meg, for inspiring me a little bit this morning.
