I came across this list of kitchen essentials that I put together for a very dear friend of mine. He and his girlfriend had decided to part ways and he, being the gentleman that he is, left everything they mutually owned in their shared apartment.
So, essentially he was starting over from scratch. As a friend, I wanted to be as useful as possible, so I sent over my Interior Designer Luis Hill to sort the new apartment. He really was starting over from scratch, so I thought about the kitchen essentials he would need to make his new apartment a home. In creating the kitchen essentials list, I also didn’t want him to go broke. Therefore, I put together a good base that he could build upon over time.
An Elevated List
He is unique in that as a bachelor, he does far more than grill in his kitchen. So accordingly, I scaled up his appliances and also made sure he had a coffee maker. When he told me he didn’t need one as he doesn’t drink coffee, I reminded him that the girl who would spend the night before probably would need some caffeine. We had a good laugh and some good times talking through his new start. It’s never easy, but we get by with a little help from our friends.
