Help for small kitchen nook?

Jennifer S

The home we are now living in is rented and there is a small kitchen nook measuring 5'9 by 5'8. The previous owners had a table there but ours is much to large. Any suggestions that will work with seating for four?

Answer
You could get a smaller table to fit. Another great option is bench seating. If you have a longer table that reaches out of the nook and into the kitchen, you could get two long benches. This saves the space of having to move chairs in and out, so you can fit a bigger table.

1800s kitchen characteristics?

Contra

Part of a school assignment. what were some characteristics of an 1800s kitchen? i know they had ovens, but did they have a fireplace in the kitchen? what did they do for a sink? what style of plates would they have had? Would they eat in the kitchen or in a dining room? what are some 1800 cooking devices?

Answer
Most kitchens had a wet sink and a dry sink. Wealthy folks had a water pump in the kitchen while other had a pump outside. In the 1700, the fireplace for the home was also used for cooking. Families were large and so was the dinning table. There were chairs but more often benches. Folks ate off tin or china plates depending on the coast you were on. Tin was the most common in the western half.
