Air Force One Kitchen and a Little Inspiration

And it becomes clear that this is no ordinary kitchen! Read more »

It looks like they brought everything they needed along with them, including a microwave, a breadbox and a stainless steel dual-sink with separate hot and cold handles. While this sink was probably installed out of necessity (it isn’t easy doing plumbing for a vehicle!) you can get a similar dual handle look in your kitchen without wheels with a widespread kitchen faucet.

The King’s Kitchen

Of course, we wouldn’t want to mess with Elvis’ sense of style – he is The King after all.
