PAUSING AWHILE

The kitchen is often a room of many uses: food is prepared, utensils are cleaned, loved ones gather and meals are enjoyed. It is the hub of a busy family life. If space allows, a comfortable seat, where the bustle of everyday preparations cannot intrude, is a welcome addition. The chair does not need to be large, but should be comfortable and inviting, positioned in the light. Here, recipe books can be browsed for new ideas, lists made or a cup of tea enjoyed before the hectic demands of the day beckon and busyness ensues.
