Archive for the ‘Kitchen Renovation’ CategoryBD6CTNZJQEB8 I surprised a friend the other day by revealing that I am a multi-project person. My head is constantly filled with plans. It drives Alex bonkers sometimes and I have been accused of not being spontaneous, but that’s just who I am. I can’t help it – I like having things to look forward to. Here [...] Friends were recently discussion kitchen cupboards. A well organized kitchen thrills me, so I offered to photo-document what’s going on in my cabinets. When I designed this kitchen in the fall of 2008, I centered my thoughts around working zones and storage. I’m a ‘everything in it’s place and a place for everything’ sorta girl, so [...] When we renovated the kitchen last winter, we installed a super deep single bowl stainless steel sink, the Numerar. It is a sit-on-cabinet sink which means no countertop cutout, saving counter cost and effort. This sink is so deep I can bathe the little dog in it and she can’t climb out. Alex can soak [...] This is a continuation of the Tutorial. Part One covers materials.

I put three garden beds to rest, including harvesting peppers and green tomatoes, pulling out honeysuckle and ivy creeping around the fence, and adding to our massive compost heap. early fall harvest and a bottle of Charlie's [...] Last Sunday my parents unexpectedly watched Lillian for the day. What a treat! Instead of slothing around like we usually do, I wanted to get some kitchen remodeling projects wrapped up. Our Japanese guest Kayoko arrived to stay with us Thursday and that motivated me to get a lot of things done last week! After a delicious, [...] You’ll notice something about this blog. The moment the kitchen became usable, all posting switched to food and gardening topics. That’s not because we love writing about food and gardening more – it’s because we haven’t done a damn thing to finish the kitchen! Back in February, when we went to Florida, I took [...] We moved out of our old kitchen so fast that we just threw things in boxes and stacked them around the basement. (Which was already filled to the brim with Baying Hound stock, of course.) We labeled one box KNIVES because I figured it was important that no one cut themselves accidentally, reserving two knives for [...]  |
