Dailure

For our anniversary I received an espresso machine (okay it doesn't look exactly like that photo). It makes the best coffee and when I drag myself into the kitchen in the wee hours of the morning I love the sound of it grinding beans and then the smell of the coffee. It even 'foams' my milk for me. It practically runs itself. And the best part, it tastes fantastic. Again, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it's that first sip!

I'm SO envious!

I know. The only 'problem' is these beautiful contraptions, that I have in my ugly kitchen, makes my ugly kitchen look even uglier (and very very old). However, since I won't be getting a new kitchen in the near future I will just fantasize about what my 'new' kitchen will look like with all of the new and beautiful contraptions.

Fantasizing is good! I have a cottage I fantasize about.
So tell me more about your espresso contraption so I can fantasize about having it in my very small kitchen, in my very small cottage.

You 'saw' my contraption. However, I haven't seen your cottage. Describe please.

Let's see...it's very small...but it has a good kitchen because I cook for friends in it...lots of people drop by. It is not particularly "architectural".For some reason it has big red and yellow cushions scattered about...big paintings on the walls...fresh flowers on the tables. It's a bit messy, comfortably so. It's very cozy...a place where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome.
