A Golden Kitchen
I absolutely love this gold kitchen designed by the architect Dominic McKenzie. Can be seen if you are lucky enough to go on the Living etc House Tour.

Meet My New Best Friend - The Samsung G Series 3 Door Fridge Freezer
I was recently asked by Samsung if I would review their new 3 door American fridge/freezer from their G Series. They asked that I live with it for a while and report back on it. Live with it? I would sleep with it now even though we have been together for only 2 months. As most of you may already know I live in a very remote place, beautiful but remote. A 20 mile round trip to the nearest shop.
This beauty has changed my life and saved me time and money. My petrol costs have reduced dramatically and my shopping bills have also reduced as I can now take advantage of those deals such as 3 for the price of 2, buy one get one free etc. etc. and I don't throw the huge amount away that I used to with my last fridge/freezer.
This baby is like having a huge built in pantry but the thing that amazes me more than anything else is how it just blends into the room. We have a huge open plan ground floor so the kitchen is constantly on show. This fridge/freezer is huge inside and has fold back and moveable shelves, more features for storage in the doors than you can shake a stick at. It has a huge deli drawer that has 3 different settings, it has 2 salad/vegetable drawers both with humidity controls and they actually work. I haven't had to throw a soft vegetable away since I got it.
Maybe it's because it is reflective that it fits in without shouting at you 'hey I'm a fridge freezer'! I love that the sides are finished in a textured finish. I love that
the freezer is a big drawer with 3 separate compartments and I can easily find things as I am looking down on it and not straight on, now that's clever. I love that it has a filtered water dispenser, ice maker (crushed or this really cool shape which could never be called a cube) and it takes a jug not just a glass. I love that
when I come in that stable door with my shopping I can put everything away neatly in next to no time.
I wanted to write a very honest review and to be very honest there is absolutely nothing negative I can say about my new best friend. It has been life changing owning this fridge/freezer and I just hope it is as happy living with me as I am living with it. Thank you Samsung you have made me very happy.

GoGo Gardens
I think one of the loveliest finishing touches to any kitchen is pots of salads and herbs so needless to say I LOVE this idea. GoGo Gardens are kitchen units with planters on top. How cool an idea is that. Available in any colour, 3 sizes and the company also provides the plants. An admirable idea beautifully executed.

Roll and Mix
Just a clever idea by Design Studio Ashayane. Rolling Pin, Oil Bottle and Pestle and Mortar all in one - genius.
