A massive kitchen with an over sized oven.</i><br /><br />oh, it sounds SO BEAUTIFUL! and i am truly so inspired by the deliberate choice you and feraz made, to live in a neighborhood which may not "look" the most elegant or fancy or upper-class, or whatever, and instead choose it because your presence there may, somehow, one day, help create/enhance the community and beauty there. you -- and your friends in michigan -- are making a wonderful choice. i, too, am inspired to think about stepping outside my comfort zone in the next place i choose to live.yasminehttp://sweepthesunshine.comnoreply@blogger.com
