(877) 210-6361(877) 210-6361(877) 210-6361Until recently, I've lived in apartments with some of the world's most awful kitchens. The most terrible of terrible kitchens was my kitchen from grad school, which had about 2 feet of standing space, and didn’t even fit a refrigerator. I had my fridge in my living room! Since most of that time was spent feverishly comparing tortoise cholesterol levels for my thesis, I didn’t really worry that much about kitchen design.
When the tortoise paper was finally published, and I started an actual paying job (goodbye internships!) I started apartment hunting. When I walked into the kitchen of my current apartment, I heard angels singing, light filled the room and lit up the beautiful all wood kitchen cabinets. Wood cabinets might not seem that exciting, but after six years of pressboard, I felt like I was in the classiest kitchen on earth .
I still haven’t gotten used to my wonderful grown up kitchen. Every morning as I reach for the coffee I expect to find the door handle of the cupboard sitting in my palm because the inexpensive kitchen cabinets are just sawdust and glue and it doesn’t matter how many times I try to rescrew the handle in, it just won’t stay. That doesn’t happen now! Instead, amazingly, the cupboard door opens, and I can make coffee! Even cleaning up is more fun. If I mop the lovely tile floors, they actually look cleaner! Not like the horrible moldy linoleum I had to deal with before. Growing up isn’t so bad. The kitchens are better here.
