Well, here at the Hudson River Valley Art and Quilt Art Workshops, with the judicious, judicious, mind you, use of two Viennese-esque (dessert) carts or trolleys, I have redistributed the space, rescued two of my counters and created a better kitchen flow. The kitchen itself is pretty big, though not as big as the kitchen at the Moserhof, in Mosern bei Seefeld, Austria, which was about 3-4 times bigger and therefore better arranged, but the long narrow layout is a bit of a challenge at times.

I think I have solved some of the space crunching issues with the two rolling carts. One is a standard industrial kitchen cart and the other is a wire frame kitchen cart, not really commercially designed but good enough and 1/4 the price of the commercial cart, which has the heavier tasks and equipment.

So, I have not a rolling prep cart that doubles as a blender and small mixer station and a french toast and pancake station. I also have a rolling tools and equipment cart. Yea!

All this for the painting and quilting art workshops, not to mention the lodging guests. Come on down. The Winter, yes, I said, Winter Art Workshops are filling up. Not to mention the Quilt Art Workshops! They’re filling up too. We have one that is almost full and it is in December. Come on down and don’t miss the opportunity of a lifetime.
