The One About House Interiors (and why the Dutch do it better!)

Stuff Dutch People Like - A podcast by Colleen Geske

Categories:

Happy 2023! On this episode Allard and Colleen talk houses and the notable differences between Dutch and North American design. Why is there so much carpet in America?! What is with all the wooden kitchen cupboards, leather couches, and the national obsession with countertops?! (Spoiler: no one cares if it's marble/granite/godknowswhat). Didn't think the differences were that big? Think again! Colleen and Allard talk about their pet peeves including the HUGE ASS fridges of America vs the teeny-tiny minibar-esque fridges of Amsterdam, decorative bed pillows (Colleen is guilty of this!), and the Dutch tradition of keeping their curtains open for all to see! Spoiler: Allard decided to bring Tequila to the show - and all of a sudden Colleen CAN'T CONTROL herself! To end the episode, Allard presents Colleen with yet another 'Dutch mystery item'.....a necessary tool found in ALL Dutch kitchens! Can you guess what it is?!
