Where is your dishwasher and appliances in your kitchen with scullery? Do you have a sink in the scullery as well as the kitchen?
Any other design things you have added or wished you did?

I've only ever lived in one place with an island bench and that is where I used to do most of the food prep for our meals. If we had friends around for dinner or even just a normal meal with my flatmates I'd be whipping up a salad or munchies while they sat on the other side of the island with a glass of wine in their hand. I wouldn't want to be stuck inside a cupboard - which is what a butlers pantry/scullery is in my book cooking on my own while everyone else is out in the kitchen/dining/lounge. About the only concession I'd make is to maybe have the dishwasher in the scullery so you could close the door and have it washing away while you relax in the other rooms. As Tracyw said having a place like a scullery where you could dump all the dishes when you have a few people over is a good idea. Likewise as Cooper05 mentioned, if you do install a dishwasher in there afterwards you have to empty it and carry all the plates, dishes etc back out to the kitchen. I guess to each their own and you have to weigh up the pros and cons of how your kitchen/pantry is setup, what appliances are going where and your personal preferences are to how you prepare and cook meals. Aesthetics aside the person who has the biggest say in all this should be the cook and no-one else. Stewie Luckily the dishwasher we choose is pretty quiet so it can stay in the main kitchen although I may add a second one in the butlers because we entertain on a large scale frequently. We also have a laundry trough in there for dishes to hide them. I think Aesthetics need to go have a seat maybe two seats when it comes to a kitchen and wait until function is done. Because too many people want it to look nice and then are all kinds of confused after. I mean at some point my friend is going to take her husband out with a hot pot. i see it happening Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.

There's also window and its entrance to laundry Fridge & kitchenaid will be in kitchen along with oven, microwave & stove. All food prep and cooking etc is in the kitchen. Just the dirty dishes will be in scullery. Kitchen has a single sink (no drainer) to wash hands/food etc ETA: prob easier to add a picture haha Re: What is in you scullery? 18Sep 01, 2013 11:54 am Our scullery is a walk through to the laundry, we have 2 massive cupboards on one side, one is the pantry and the other is for all our additional crockery etc that only gets used when we entertain. The other side which is not visable when you sit at the island bench (deliberately done so we can hide mess) is a bench with cupboards underneath & a space for an undermount bar fridge. Above the bench is more cupboards for wine glasses etc. We opted not to put a sink in there - as the dishwasher is in the kitchen and I don't care about hiding the mess. In hindsight a sink would have been good for the sole purpose of filling the kettle, as the kettle lives on the bench in there and I have to walk to fill it.... I wouldn't want to hide in the scullery when we have guests, with the island bench, they sit on one side and we can talk as I prep etc, the layout of our house is great for entertaining, as I can be involved in the conversations from the kitchen if our guests are in the alfresco, theatre, lounge or dining. With all the cupboards there is plenty of space for everything, the last home we lived in we ran out of room for things and had things stashed in hall cupboards etc. Built the Seaview 36 with Rawson Homes - Read about it on my blog http://lamaisondemorgan.blogspot.com.au/ Re: What is in you scullery? 19Sep 01, 2013 1:52 pm Quote: I mean at some point my friend is going to take her husband out with a hot pot. i see it happening Haha I see this quite often where the husbands ego gets in the way ( not saying your friends hubby is like this though ) They want it to look grand and have this and that but they are not the cooks in the house. More than once I have argued with the husband on the side of the wife ( or whoever is the main cook in the house ) because the kitchen would have ended up unworkable with big distances between the principle work zones and appliances. In the two cases above that LeanneR and snorgzz have I could live with those setups because while I'd probably still do most of the day to day prep and cooking in the main kitchen , having that extra area when you entertain would be very handy.

Stewie She picked the kitchen lol but her husband has this habit of walking like a ninja and one day when shes carrying the hot pot from the kitchen to the scullery shes is going to walk right into him. Me personally im a klutz to the point where we have a seat being built in the shower because somehow while standing still I fall and a laundry chute because im pretty sure the stairs are out to get me when i have to bring laundry down in my new house. My current shoot is throw them over the stair case I dont want to have to go far with a hot pot because its not going to be pretty. I'd likely burn myself. But yes husbands tend to be more along the lines of i want the kitchen to look like a space ship.... i had a friend his kitchen was one wall of black glossy panels. i had to search for the fridge AFTER finally figuring out how to open the bloody doors that had no handles. you had to push down and then it opened. I do not have the patience for that. Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.
