The Kitchen

Okay, I figured it's about time to show you all the new house, however I am only revealing one room at a time. They may not be 'perfect' yet and I can't promise they'll be super clean. They are ours and we love them the way they are (for now). We're going to slowly make new changes here and there. I'll try and keep you all updated as we go. 

First, we'll start with the kitchen. It's small and compact but it gets the job done. 

When we first looked at it, we thought that it was tiny and we'd never be able to fit much in it, but it has shocked us. At the apartment, all the cabinets and drawers were jam packed! Here, there is still some empty cabinets. There isn't a whole lot of drawers but we are making it work. 

As you can see, we've resorted to keeping Adam's cast iron on top of the fridge for now. It works, I guess. Eventually we would love to get a fridge that extends all the way up, but I don't know if they make a tall, skinny fridge like that. This fridge is way to tiny for our needs, but we're making the best of it. 

Here you can see our microwave and toaster oven. At the apartment we used to have a bread drawer, but there wasn't space for that here. For now we keep it on the counter. I suppose we could put in on a lazy susan (the kitchen has TWO of them) but I guess the counter works for now. 

Here is our coffee station, Adam's phone charger and what not. The lazy susan is missing it's handle because Adam is *supposed* to put a child lock on it. Once the child lock is on, we'll put the handle back on. The middle drawer there, with the blue thing hanging out, is our rag drawer. Filled to the brim with cleaning rags, including my new microfiber ones that I bought. Underneath that drawer is where we keep the kids cups, bowls and silverware. I wanted somewhere that Miranda could reach so she can get her own stuff when necessary. 

And, of course, the kitchen sink. It needs to be replaced, eventually, but it works for now. There is always dishes around, either drying or waiting to be washed. It's just how life goes in this house ...

And there you have it! Our new kitchen! Tune in tomorrow to see our dining room!
