Say what you will about this bizarre before kitchen, but I can totally see the thought process here. Zero cabinets to store your dishes, which is fine, because your stove so tiny that it is only capable of cooking bite-sized meals anyway, which is no problem because your sink is too narrow to even wash a plate, if you even had a place to put one. It’s brilliant. Move over flashy diet trends, the best weight loss plan out there is the Completely Inefficient Kitchen! Oh man, we could make a lot of money with this.
OR, if you prefer to use your kitchen for y’know, eating and storing your eating stuff, then perhaps a kitchen makeover is a better idea instead. Sarah made the most out of her space with this fabulous remodel, and included a super cool backsplash that I totally want to copy.
See it up close on her blog Squirrel & Puffin.
