A Brighter, Larger Room

In my last post I said I would show pictures of the newly remodeled kitchen. Please forgive the clutter. We are currently in the process of putting everything away and getting ready for a trip. If you look behind my wacky french inpersonating husband you will see the old cabinets and the dishwasher behind his legs. Makes for a dark kitchen, especially in the winter.

In the following picture one may notice the lack of upper cabinets. These were replace with shelve, and the soffet that held them up was removed. This makes for a much more open and brighter space. The dishwasher was also moved and can be seen in the lower right hand corner. This spot makes more sense to me. Now someone can cook and load the dishwasher simultaneously. (Please forgive the poor quality photos, it's cloudy outside)



We also got a new stove and a micro-hood to go with it. It is very nice to have the microwave not take up counter space, but perform a valuable function. Also, it totally kicks toosh in the heating and cooking department. Case in point, it has settings for both melting and softening butter, a baker's dream. Above the microwave is a handy place for my cookbooks. Then there's the new stove, it has a window, which I desired greatly, and works very nicely. It really doesn't look like the same kitchen.

To finish, Hannah wants to let you all see that she has serious faces too. Oh yeah, I should probably add that not only is Hannah crawling quite well, but she discovered how to pull herself up to standing as well.

Actually, she has a cold and isn't on top of her game.
