If someone was to give me an ultimatum of having a traditional home or a more modern look, I'd choose traditional every time. Maybe it's because I'm not the tidiest person in the world, but I love nooks and crannies, little objet d'arts and trinkets and above all the feel of a cosy home. My kitchen is a testament to this - a small range, lots of shelving with cook books covered in food stains and my pride of joy - a traditional ceramic sink.

. Great for all the cake making - and eating - that goes on!
