Living in our tiny home for the past five years has been amazing for my husband, Larry and myself. However, as our five adult children have married and started having families of their own. We quickly realized that we were running out of space. This led us to build our dream home. And doing so it allows us to move my aging parents into our tiny home so that we can help to take care of them.
Because cooking and baking canning and preserving are so incredibly important to us, we knew that it would be important to design a kitchen area that would function well for our large family. This led us to work with the architect and design, a separate kitchen or a scullery to accommodate for large batch, cooking and canning. This is one area that I am super excited about using. It will host two pantries with a coffee bar in between on the other side. It will have a full run of lower kitchen cabinets, and on the top we opted to do shelving so that we could fit our canner on the counter and be able to open it to get the jars out easily. We also have a large sink so that we can wash the jars and also wash our fur babies if necessary. We will have a stackable laundry center. And will also have a bench with hooks so that we can organize shoes coats easily. This area will also be a dream due to the fact that the doorway enters the garage so it will be easy to pull into the garage and unload groceries quickly.
Being organized, and having the extra space will allow us not only to have efficiency, but this will be the area that will be used for doing a lot of prep work and canning while our main kitchen will be used for hosting our large family. We’re looking forward to having a wide open concept with a dining room table and a bar or an island that will have seating so that our five kids and their spouses and families can all gather at once.
Organization is very important to me and that let us to design the scullery with deep drawers that will house, baking supplies, and staples. This will allow those things to be easily accessible.
A product that we used in the tiny house that has made organizations so easy for us as this set. I have cancer serves with locking lids. They come with a label that you can write on these canisters are easily stackable and have been a dream for housing things such as flower sugar, pasta’s rice, chips, and snacks when you live in a small space every inch matters and these have been lifesavers. It is definitely a product that I will be buying again for the new house to keep the scullery, nice and organized.
Having a coffee bar in the scullery means that I don’t have to have the coffee pot on display on my kitchen countertops. I will also be nice to have the drawer underneath the coffee bar that will house, coffees and teas and accessories.
We opted for a countertop microwave, but did not want the clutter of it in the main kitchen on the countertops. So we will also how’s the microwave either on the countertop with the coffee pot or we will have a designated cabinet for the microwave. This keeps the scullery as they workhorse while keeping the main kitchen clean and ready for hosting.
Because we had to include the laundry in the scullery it was important for us to save space in this area as well. And our tiny home we found the solution that has worked out great for the past five years. This was the algae then Q laundry center, which is a stackable washer and dryer on a smaller scale. We like this product so much as it accommodate big items such as comforters for bedding and also our washable rug. So we are going to put the exact thing in the scullery of the new build.
All in all we are super excited about having more space. Although we know and understand the importance of keeping things organized so that it will not become cluttered. For this reason, the scullery will become one of the most used rooms of our new house.
