Wow, what a great job you’ve done! Thanks for the inspiration that I needed to get started on my little 1930s Cape Cod’s small kitchen! I found your blog via Apartment Therapy, and have already bookmarked it for future inspiration!

Melinda – yes, Germans shop more frequently than Americans. The food quantities are smaller, and the mantra seems to be “shop for what you need now”, not Costco-size-it. The grocery stores are faaaar smaller and more frequent. They’re easy to walk to or bike to.

I love the description of your little kitchen. I hope you love, love, love it once you incorporate your new ideas.

Congrats on a well thought-out space and tell hubby nice work! I’m an American living in America, and we bought our first house a couple years ago and have a kitchen almost twice as big — 9 x 6 feet. But our finished living space is 1600 square feet, (not counting the basement & garage). Plus 4 people instead of two. We’re considering a kitchen remodel since the space is just awkward, and will have an arrangement where a countertop/cabinet opens into the dining room — kind of what you all did. But looking at the small kitchen (1940′s) it does have me thinking — why did Americans have smaller kitchens decades ago (without dishwashers) and now most dream kitchens are gigantic? We could knock out a wall, but decided against it, and our new cabinets will go all the way to the ceiling. Unlike you, we have normal size appliances.

Interesting fridge — hard to believe this is standard for most Germans. Do they just shop more frequently? Are there big supermarkets or little grocery stores dotted all over the place? I really enjoyed your blog.

I love your ideas! And your input is very interesting…we are currently downsizing & can’t wait for a smaller, more efficient kitchen! :)

I’m thinking smaller is better…
