So one of the biggest ironies of my cooking life is how much I hate my kitchen - a side effect of renting!  But this week my landlord had some builders over with a view to working on the space, (read: rip out the awful, awful paneling). The prospect of having my kitchen look half way decent and more like a space i'd want to work in made me start daydreamin' and mood boardin' a wish list of items I'd love to have in the new and improved space.

1. <a href="http://circa60.blogspot.com/2010/09/gorgeous-mid-century-modern-credenza.html">Vintage Mod sideboard</a> - I love the contrast of the white against the teak. And it has tons of storage space for my rather over enthusiastic collection of zip loc bags..

2. <a href="http://www.boskke.com/products/skyplanter/">Boskke skyplanter </a>- a great way to grow my herbs, not take up space and serve as a decorative item.

3. Digsmed Circular Spice rack - I actually have one of these and I love it - maybe its because spinning it that makes me feel like I am on a game show. Ha! Mine has been dying to be wall mounted and hopefully my wish of this will soon come true!

4. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/56846537/duikers-in-aloe-red-tea-towel">Skinny La'Minx tea towel</a> - I love the repeated graphic of this design and the punch of pink.

5. <a href="http://www.rachand.com/">Rachand Juicer</a> - I have loved one of these since I saw Chuck Hughes make a <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/tequila-lemonade-recipe/index.html">Meyer Lemon Tequila Lemonade</a> using one of these. Besides how good will this look on the mod sideboard??

My kitchen won't be done for a few weeks yet due to a few schedule conflicts so keep a look out for more wishlist moodboards as I continue to dream!
