Leather handles for the units and a £10,000 wine fridge
AMANDA JeNNer, 40, inventor of the My Carry Potty, husband Darren, 44, a kitchen designer, and their children, George, 18, hollie, 16, and Olivia, seven, live in a sixbedroom £1 million detached house in Poole, Dorset.
AMANDA SAYS: i don’t think anyone has ever walked into our kitchen without saying “Wow!”. When we moved in six years ago the kitchen hadn’t been changed for 20 years. it had pine units, orange tiles and a terracotta floor. We couldn’t live with that so Darren put a new £50,000 one in.
But i’d always wanted Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. they’re the Rolls-Royce of appliances: Sharon osbourne has them, as do Gordon Ramsay and the Kardashians.
Darren told me: ‘You’ll need one special kitchen with those appliances’ and got to work. i couldn’t have been more excited if he’d presented me with diamonds.
We’ve got two built-in Wolf ovens at almost £5,000 each. their interiors are huge and they even clean themselves. i can leave a joint of beef slow-cooking for 24 hours and it doesn’t lose any moisture. there’s a proving area for dough and a dehydrate function so i can make vegetable crisps.
our Sub-Zero fridge and freezer were almost £10,000 each, but i think they save me money long-term. they’re built using nasa technology and the cheese drawer is kept at a slightly different temperature than those for fish, meat or veg. it’s rare i have to throw anything away.
my £10,000 Sub-Zero wine fridge is my pride and joy. it keeps white chilled to 4c on one side and red at 18c on the other.
the flooring is high-gloss italian tile and the solid-wood cabinets have handmade grey leather handles. it cost £2,000 for 28. there are also silk panels at the front of our island that visitors can’t resist stroking.
i couldn’t live without our miele coffee maker, which cost £2,200. We have a £3,000 tap that gives filtered still or sparkling water. it’s the most fabulous kitchen i’ve ever seen so, to me, it’s worth every penny.
