Kitchen: The Plan
I realize I’ve never actually showed you guys the plan for my kitchen. I never really wrote it down. It’s just floated around in my head I suppose this is a good thing because, as the renovation has progressed, there’s … Continue reading

Who Needs Running Water, Anyway?
Lets just start with the obvious. I didn’t host Thanksgiving. I planned to. I really wanted to. I posted about it. It didn’t happen. I thought maybe I’d have everything done by Christmas. Or maybe, at the very least, have … Continue reading

Soapstone Counters
I’m 90% certain I want soapstone counters in the kitchen. No. Make that, 96%. A natural stone, it’s incredibly heat-resistant (yay for hot pots) and nonporous. It changes from gray to black when oiled, which I love. It scratches easier than … Continue reading

The Countdown has Begun
Tomorrow morning we demo the kitchen. WOOT! A few updates to the space have been made over the past 3 years. At closing, the floors were covered with a light wood-like laminate, there was no dishwasher, and the upper counter had … Continue reading
