Cooking is definitely an art, up to an extent, and professional cooks need to have certain abilities like planning their actions in the kitchen and knowledge from topics such as food safety, but the principles are very universal and can all be transferred to the kitchens of every home chef. Simply the classic fridge-sink-stovetop model revisited. This sounds right out of some lecture, basics of ergonomics for chefs? This way the majority of our actual counter space can be well utilized while the fridge and a stovetop with the oven have been installed in their own niche at the back. That in mind we decided to move the sink to the island. Half, or even up to four fifths, of the time goes for prepping. Maybe everyone doesn’t go about these things like we do, and even cookbooks measure cooking time specifically, but really the time spent at the stove is just a fraction of the time the process of cooking takes. Originally the “wet zone” of the kitchen was actually at the wall, but having the sink in a corner is very impractical. We didn’t have an interior designer working with us so it was fully our own choice to prioritize beauty and comfort over a strict budget. That meant we had to plan canalisation and all before laying down the wooden flooring. At the beginning of our apartment modernization we got the idea of a kitchen island with a sink for this great space.
Our kitchen renovation didn’t start from the stone worktops, or even furniture or appliances. Even when we were recommended this specific stone at first we kept looking at very different styles of granite, Emerald Pearl and this other one that also had little blue crystals… Labrador Antique?
That’s a tricky question to answer, because we didn’t really know anything about granite or about Galaxy Star when we started this renovation. How did you get to this result? And why Galaxy Star?
Together with trendy cabinetry in dark gray and black appliances this stones makes for a solid and beautiful final look. In the young couple’s kitchen it shines on worktops and the massive kitchen island. Due to the little sparkling specks of gold on a polished black background this beautiful granite resembles a sky full of stars. We decided to pay a visit to Miriam and Harry to find out how their worktop in black Galaxy Star granite has held up.
