Steps so I can reach the bottom of the deep freeze without falling in, all 
my equipment which is in storage on the other side of the world and has been 
for 4 years now, no electrical gadgets apart from fridge and freezer if I 
can help it, larder and/or cellar, wood-fired stove with chimney leading to 
a smoking chamber (but maybe an electric hotplate for summer).

Decor:  It's quite remarkable how many nationalities have basic peasant 
crockery painted in cobalt blue.  I've been collecting, and am up to 6 
countries' styles so far.  And I'm about to get a Romanian girl to paint my 
biscuit tins for me to match.

What would be really nice would be to have a kitchen that flipped back and 
forth easily between mundane and suitable-for-events.  Hm.  How to hide that 
deep freeze?
