    Default My Kitchen Cutlery

    Here are my kitchen knives. As you can see I really dig Henckels Four Star.


    We live in a one room house with windows for walls. Although it is nice to look outside at the natural surroundings, the house presented some challenges in the storage department. I designed systems to suspend alot of stuff from the overhead.



    Here is what the rack looks like stowed:

    I like what you did with the storage. I have many of the Henkles that you have and really like them. I also have a Martin Yan Cleaver that is a little less bulky than most and I use a lot. I have been meaning to ask, what camera are you using? Nice photos.

    Thanks. The digital camera I use is a Kodak DX6490. However most of my artsy photos are shot with a Nikon N90S 35mm SLR. I am a dinosaur. I still shoot film.

    Thanks!

    The house is post and beam with two bathrooms and two lofts for sleeping. It has a 14 foot high ceiling which is why I was able to put a suspension bridge ten feet above the living room floor for Mr. Toes.

    We have windos all around so the light is very welcoming. Here's the other part of the kitchen:

    It is located on an 80 acre farm with a 300 foot mountain and seven miles of trails. We are very lucky to have been renting the place for the last six years. It's like living in a park. The Pootatuck River flows through our back yard so we have domestic ducks. Here's a video about them:

    I have some shots of the outside I will post when I find them. However you can check out the website of the farm where we live:

    I mentioned we have no walls because of the windows all around. With no walls you have no cabinets which is why I had to design all these unique storage solutions. So the pots are all hanging but what do you do with the lids? I hung them too:
