KITCHEN
The Heart of your Home
A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a commercial establishment. A modern middle-class residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, and worktops and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and other electric appliances. The main functions of a kitchen are to store, prepare and cook food and to complete related tasks such as dishwashing. The room or area may also be used for dining or small meals such as breakfast, snack time, teatime etc.
It contains the appliances and tools necessary to prepare any kind of meal, but it is also one of the most important spaces for storage, seating, and communication. Without the kitchen, the home would likely feel empty and confused, without a direction.

MY STORY
Where Passion Meets Devotion
When I first began Pastel Spaces, it was simply a place to share my passions with friends. I would publish posts here and there, but slowly found myself working on new ideas whenever I had a free moment. That’s when I knew that I had to jump into it full time.
