As I sit and enjoy my morning coffee I find myself day dreaming of a DIY kitchen design and new kitchen appliances… A kitchen that is handicapped user friendly with a touch of retro in beige and red. I use an arm crutch to move around to help prevent falls, however in the kitchen I can maneuver around by just gripping the edge of the counter. But alas since our kitchen was built over 20 years ago with healthy individuals in mine I find myself grasping for a hand hold where there isn’t one. Why is this important to me. Well, I would actually have both hand free for use in the kitchen area; meaning moving around with ease as well as cooking and cleaning with two hands. Something that is not possible with one hand firmly gripping my arm crutch.
My ideal kitchen would have the appliances, counters and island all within no more than two steps between each item. The cabinets would need to have pull out drawers, since I’m unable to crawl around on the floor to find the crock-pot located WAY in the back. Oh and another thing I would love to change about our kitchen is the counter height. Ours sit low, I stand at 5’6″ and this causes added back and leg pain when bending over every task.
Here are a few pictures of kitchens I’ve been hording for my dream DIY kitchen ideas. Which ones do you like?
I love the color combination and lighting along with the open feeling in room shown below.
This one is lovely as well. Of course both kitchens would need to have the floor space brought in to accommodate me.
Since we live in the country I would love to incorporate something along the lines of this gem into my island seating area. Beautiful and functional.
I’m simply in love with retro appliances. I’ve found several I really like at Appliances Online in the perfect colors too!
The Fairy Hobmother visited my blog during the time I was out with family in the hospital, which perked up my day/week considerably! This is what he had to say: “It’s clear that you work very hard on your blog, and I think that your hard work deserves to be rewarded. I’d like to send you a gift in the form of a $50 voucher for Amazon to have a little fun with.”
