Not ideal but could you block the external door off and access the back via the front door? That way you could have a shelving unit there?Mmac19 said:
I imagine it would be okay if it wasn't for the additional external door taking up wall space.Indigo_and_Violet said:1.5m x 2.8m is tough. I had a similar arrangement in a student house a few years ago (shared with 3 people!). Are you able to set up a space outside of the kitchen for food prep? We sorted it so that peeling, chopping, weighing etc all happened on a small table in the front room and then you took you 'mis en place' (so fancy!) through to the kitchen to cook.
Ha, very fancy! I think I am going to purchase a drop leaf table for the small lounge so will have to do this if I'm left with no option, just not ideal as I'm sure you're aware!
Thanks!"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0 -
