well. first time out this year for the dishwasher. while the dishwasher did the glasses and small plates; With the hot water coming out of the dishwasher I did every single dirty pot, pan, plate, cutlery etc etc.
As this is the cleanest my kitchen has every been. And may well ever be. I'm sharing a pic. my first from the "studio" great room Amish shed.
maybe we could have a kitchen pic episode?

I love your kitchen cabingal3!! I am so happy for you and GaryO!
If you put a bay leaf in your containers of wheat, oats, sugar and flour, you won't get creepy crawlies in them! I've been doing that for years with great success.

Here's mine - screwed up with the fridge - put the cabinets and plumbing in before I realized it needed to be on an outside wall for the vent.

@Jim looks pretty good though even with a creative "burp". I'd wager you sounded like a drunken sailor on a Saturday night when you realized the oopsie... I certainly would have curled the goffer's hair in that situation.
@Lakeside, great kitchen view ! That is one essential for me, is to be able to have windows in my kitchen area... So close, yet so far.... I'm curious about those cabinets above the window. Commercial Stainless Steel ?
Love seeing photo's of everyone's setup, more ideas to ponder... Keep'em coming.

Southeast Ohio kitchen, small! White countertop chosen since cabin interior is quite dark in summer shade. Stainless sink was second hand. Pitcher pump with city water jug is freeze-friendly, as is rubber sink trap. No winterizing needed at my weekend cabin. Kerosene two-burner stove was good fit between cabinets and wall. A Coleman camp oven can be used over one burner. Kerosene chosen over propane due to proximity to woodburner and fear of kids turning stove knobs creating gas leak.

hey all. just got in from doing manly stuff. chainsaw work. put up two face cords for next winter. ash. elm. maple.
boy some nice kitchens.
se i like that kerosene stove. and the back board. that is cool. i looked at the coleman oven too. but i think the pitcher pump gets the nod.
thx for the likes turkey/hattie. note that I did not dare take a pic outside of clean area. turkey. i cut that live edge piece, geez, 15 years ago when I had to take down a 150 year old ash. i still have 100 bd ft or so left so I'm always happy to use a bit.
jim you could always get an electric fridge. 
trollbri. that's a debate that would be fun to have. how fancy do you get. it takes a lot of time to do all that nifty cabinetry.
tick. ms. M still gets laughs when she tells this story. one year she was just getting flogged at work. so i took over dishwashing duties. first thing i did. go buy a new dishwasher. somehow she thought we might have done that sooner.
love my dishwasher. thinking of trading in my countertop model for an 18" floor model. hey. nobody said solar off grid came with a hair shirt.

@Ontario Lakeside. Good Score, there are often some great deals lurking @ Ikea. I use their LED Lights & Bulbs (much cheaper than everyone else) and they work a treat... Only ever had an issue with one product from them which wasn't their fault, they replaced it without question because there was a packaging error. It was a steel & glass table.
Creeky's Live Edge board set me a thinkin'... Drawer faces & doors for the kitchen I have to build, along with some "trimming details".

Creeky,
You beat me to it- was wondering what everyone's kitchens looked like. We also have an Amish shed and am figuring out the particulars. Yours is looking pretty good. We don't have water. Jaransont, that's beautiful.

Here is a pic of where we are planning to get to this summer. Im not sure how I will tackle the curved built-in upholstery, we may stick to a straight design.

Glad you all like the stove and kitchen as much as we do. The stove has been a bit of a labor of love. We found it at a swap meet in this condition....
I disassembled it all and rebuilt all of the sheetmetal with new 18 gage steel and full insulted the oven with rockwool and fiberglass....
I also sandblasted and powder coated all of the cast iron...
This is with it all assembled and finished except for the cast grills for the cook top...
The stove only had one good original cast iron grill when we found it, so I decided to design some custom ones and have them cast in yellow bronze. They have a cattail pattern to go with our cattails cabin theme...
BTW, the beams are just pine boards that wrap the 2x4 ceiling joists. We stained them with Red Mahogany stain.

j. i saw the beams ( ha ha ) were faux. but they still look great. the red-ish purple (once you mix in the yellow of the pine) works very nicely with the yellow walls. you are a real craftsman. and i'm guessing your wife has some decision making power ...
smallworks I haven't figured out water yet. i have a well about 400 ft away. I tractor in water 50 gallons at a time. if you look at the bottom left you can see the hoses. I use a 120v shurflo pump.
here's the interior of my Amish great room / studio / kitchen. note it's a computer model. because I am a bachelor and nobody wants to see my, er, laundry. The beer and wine bottles are correct.

@ jaransont3 I am VERY impressed with the work you put into that Monarch Stove. It's absolutely gorgeous ! I actually searched them up with google when I first saw the pictures, they certainly had some nice designs.

Here's the start of ours. Got enough room on that wall for a 30" stove next to the 66" cabinet . This will leave enough room for the 36" doorway going into the utility and bathroom. This way all the water lines, drain points, and on demand heater are within a couple feet. For now were going with open shelves. Nixed the lowest one... it was too low. Before we leave to go home, we take pics of what we have so we can remember what food we have up there for the next trip. Works out pretty good. No more unwanted duplicates. Only have so much space.
