Where is your happy space at home?

The kitchen: It’s in an open-plan space also featuring the living area. We’re very lucky. We have an old house with high ceilings. I created an open floor plan and we have a real fire in the original marble fireplace. The kitchen is just the place where the whole family congregates. We have dinner every night at 7pm. My daughters are 13 and 17 so we’ll try to keep that going as long as we can!
