The kitchen is making progress. Painting is done, we are now saving up for the ceiling tiles and new light fixtures. We'll probably add a couple more Elfa shelves on the stove side, but after living with the new worktable for awhile, I decided to blow off getting another one. This also coinsided with us finally making W's old room into something besides a walk-in storage closet. We moved the t.v. and our chairs, an mini fridge and some t.v. trays, and turned it into quite a nice little den. So the 'kitchen' area and bakery have moved out into the old living/dining space. A set of short wire shelves that used to be the entertainment center have been repurposed for the microwave and dehydrator and bakery storage.
This freed up the old microwave cart to become a rolling island/worktable, that fit perfectly between the stove and the dishwasher. Yes, you have to move it to load/unload the dishwasher, but it's no big deal so far.
I still haven't figured out what goes where quite yet, but I'm liking my baking supplies being on the cart, the shelf pulls out and it is very easy to access anything I need. We put a tall set of wire shelves just like the black ones (see above) on the other side of the kitchen to hold dishes, bakeware and such.
After the ceiling comes the next major project, the sink. Everything's picked out, when we get to that part we will be pretty much ready to go. S is going to take some vacation at that point, and we will tear out the old one and put in the new one all in one stretch of days. Being w/o a kitchen sink sucks, and impossible with a cooking related business. Still, there is noticeable progress, and this makes me happy. More pics once the ceiling is done!
Yay Kitchen!
ReplyDeleteAlso - being nosy about the Pictures - is that Lou Ana Coconut oil? How's it taste? The Paleo Organic snobs have all pooh-poohed it as terrible, but If you have some inside scoop? (if that's the coconut...)
Yes, that's Lou Ann's, and it really doesn't have a taste. I use it as a neutral oil for frying and baking.
ReplyDeletei love my kitchen kart. it stores the toaster, koffee maker and the blenders, has a wine glass hanging rack that makes the room look elegant and another shelves for my other glassware. it has a towl rack that doubles as a pushcarthandle and the surface provides a praparation space for times i dont want to go out of the room and just use the microwave and a utensil drawer! i got it at target it was hell to put together and i never roll it really cuz the carpet gets in the way but it is cute
ReplyDeleteI'll probably move the pot lids and put something else down on the bottom shelf. Kitchen gear is still all over the place, altho we finally have it all in one room at least.
