home buying: His and Hers in The Trendy Kitchen - 01/02/08 07:16 AM
It used to be that a woman's place was in the home - but even the trendiest homes are now admitting that cooking is enjoyed by both sexes.
Maybe you like the idea of your partner cooking supper alone, just for you but kitchen designers are backing the togetherness theme.
