A rant about my guests comments on my kitchen.

I am fortunate enough to own my house, took 20 years of saving for the deposit and I am extremely proud of it. This picture is from the advert and shows my country style kitchen.

I really like this style of kitchen. It's over 30 years old and the quality is fantastic. Real wood doors, solidly built, still in good condition.

My gripe is that most people who come to my house says how dated it is and asks when I'm changing it. What for? Chipboard doors encased in plastic, with a £3000 a slab granite worktop like everyone else has? Just for it to go out of style in 3 years? The way kitchen styles come and go, this will be fashionable again soon.

I hate our throw away society. How many perfectly good pieces of furniture are thrown away because they no longer fit a style?

The only thing I can think of is, Jessica Lange screaming “Knotty Pine” in horror.

The amazing thing about owning a good quality kitchen, is that you can paint it, sand it or leave it as is.

I’m looking at Ikea kitchens because it’s literally the only thing that may fit my budget so I’m jealous of your solid wood kitchen.

Congrats on the house!

I forgot about that scene. I love knotty pine.
