One of my favorite things to do is browse magazine stands for British home decorating magazines. You can usually count on finding something interesting pertaining to small space living. Yesterday I found a reference to an IKEA product that you won't find on the IKEA Canada page: the Varde Mini Kitchen.
This free-standing kitchen includes all the major functions one would need in a neat 140 cm wide by 69 cm deep by 208 cm high package. It features:
- a ceramic hob (i.e. stove top) with two burners
- a small under the counter fridge
- single bowl sink with mixer tap (i.e. faucet) and sound absorbing material under to bowl
- spice rack
- small black board for notes
- cupboards (a mixture of birch, birch veneer, particle board with melamine shelves
- stainless steel legs and back-splash
They have considered safety features as well. Besides the usual wall brackets to anchor a the free standing unit, when you close the left side door, this cuts the power to the stove top. There will be no closing the doors with the burner left on!
For more information on the Varde mini kitchen, go to http://www.ikea.com/ , select "United Kingdom" from the bottom of the European country list and then search for "Varde mini kitchen" using the search feature in the top right hand corner of the screen.
