Step into my kitchen…
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
The journey that has been my new kitchen is complete! I can’t quite manage to put together a book video, but I did work on this little musical view into my kitchen. The wood is cherry. The granite is called “cosa esmerelda” and the tile is tumbled marble with glass inserts. The appliances are stainless steel. The floor is a laminate, though it looks and feels like tile (except softer on the feet and warmer to the touch.) I think I covered just about every material known to kitchen builders, LOL!
I have to say that the whole process was relatively painless. And I mean “relatively.” I don’t like having people in my house. I don’t like having chatter in the background that isn’t chatter from my family…chatter from workers must be listened to, while family can be tuned out, LOL!
But I’m really pleased. There are actually a few little things left…the table you see in the pictures is my very old table and I’m waiting for the new one to come in. I haven’t found any bar stools that I like. The bulk of the contents of my kitchen are still in boxes in the dining room and I’m slowly weeding through it all and throwing out stuff I don’t use and finding a home for the stuff I do.
Oh, and that last picture is of my favorite feature–the InstaHot. Love that sucker. It gives you instant boiling hot water for instant coffee and tea. Can you say, “love, love, LOVE?”
I was going to run this video with a contest, but instead, Janelle and I have switched contest weeks and I’m running a very special WEEKLONG contest starting on Monday of next week. Trust me, it’ll be worth stopping by every day next week to swing into the jungle.
And speaking of contests…I know I’m behind mailing some things out. Between the kitchen, my flu and the general upheaval that is my life, I’m a slug. I admit it and apologize profusely…but those of you who are waiting will get a little something extra for your trouble. I promise!
