For me the essentials are a kettle and a fridge. I have no idea how I'm gonna function without tea and coffee on tapNeverTooLate said:

No just no space for a kitchen. I just had one large reception room demolished and decanted 2 further to preserve my furniture and the rest of my home is packed to the gills (admittedly with boxes of books). No space for a fridge without creating a trip hazardNeverTooLate said:Rosa_Damascena said:

Thanks to Covid, I ended up three or four months without a kitchen [just a sink, but no power and no worksurfaces]. You plug your kettle into an outlet in your living room or bedroom (whichever you're using) and then buy/borrow a one-ring hob.Rosa_Damascena said:
