For the past 3 months, I’ve been searching for an apartment and it’s been really hard for a food lover like me. I write a lot about eating, so you might not know that I also love to cook and bake. Along with some other things, a decent kitchen is very important to me, and it was surprisingly hard to find. Here are some of the kitchens I’ve seen: the good, the bad and the ugly.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw these appliances, especially the Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator that’s not pictured. But the rent was expensive.
I loved the storage space and the gas stove, but didn’t love the neighborhood.
Is it just me, or is something out of place?
About how many cubic millimeters of counter space, you think?
The 70’s called. They want their wallpaper back.
Hmm…something’s unbalanced.
This was called a “fairy cottage” but it looks like a gnome lives here.
I’m moving to a new neighborhood this weekend! Do you want to see my new kitchen?

Glad to hear about your move! Sounds like its time for an EBD potluck.
YES! I would love to see your new kitchen. Congrats on finding a place – I know it’s been a painful journey. I loved the first kitchen you found and laughed at the one that is “out of place” :D. We’re trying to find a house with a nice kitchen and backyard and it’s been difficult.
Beauty On The Move just followed you back!
@Kofstradamus Thanks Kofeezy. Can’t wait to have you over!
nerb Thanks Brenda. Good luck with your search!
Great article! Keep us posted on your progress in making the new rental a home you will love and how the neighborhood is. We are in the process of finding a rental as well but like you said, it is either new but too small, or big but too old, or big and old but in high demand because of the neighborhood. If they are new and big, it’s like mortgaging a house. People have said to me I might as well move to Antioch and mortgage a house but I love Oakland and Berkeley!
