The cat, although not on the table, just underfoot. I would have no problem with him on the table although DH would have a stroke. 2. My stack of cast iron dutch ovens in the chimney corner and collection of all sizes cast iron skillets. 3. My big old flower pot (with a liner) next to the stove for most used utensils. 4. Budding Christmas cactus on the table. 5. Old spice tins lining the window sill. 6. Candles on the counter. 7. And my collection of copper pots on the wall. All these and the presence of DH make my kitchen the heart of our home. :fairy: What is in my kitchen?

I like a stone vase of my kitchen tools, like spatulas, wooden spoons, etc. and my cannisters and I like a large white fruit bowl I have on the kitchen counter...

But does a Chihuahua in (not ON) the CLEAN laundry pile count? Allowed? Human, what does "allowed" mean? I understand "no". No mean roll over on my belly and look appealing when you scold me.

A cat would have difficulty finding a spot on my table! lol! It is the "catch-all" for everything we bring into the house and don't feel like putting away (the usual state.) About once a month I clean it off, sort-of. We usually eat in the livingroom in front of the TV. I do have a little dog that sits right at our feet when working in the kitchen. He's the vacuum and prewashes all my pots and dishes. He eats and sleeps in the kitchen too. No cats here at the moment, but have had them in the past, on the table.
