My kitchen refresh is well underway and by Sunday the only thing that will be left to do i s to replace the fridge. That will have to wait. It appears it’s time for a new airconditioner, darn it!
But onto less stressful things than spending money. Cooking in my newly (almost) refreshed kitchen makes me feel like a princess. It’s shiny and sleek and after having finally made a tile decision, I get to create in a kitchen space that feels luxurious. It only took me TEN YEARS to choose a backsplash!
I’ll tell you this much, it sure is nice having nothing on the counters. I am going to think long and hard before I put the utensil container, olive oil, and spice racks back. This is going to take some clever rearranging in the cabinets.
I am trying not to do much cooking until the work is complete. All that is left now is the grout work which will be done on Saturday morning. I don’t know how long it needs to dry, but I’m starting to think about what I’ll cook in the finished space.
Tonight I pulled a turkey cutlet out of the fridge and used the pesto I made the other night to serve along with a few spears of roasted asparagus. I threw together Turkey Piccata and it was delicious. It looked darn good too. Or was it the tile and range that look so good?
You decide. I’m just amazed that my favorite color is red, but everything in my house is either a version of green or brown. What does that say about me? Yeah, don’t try to figure it out. It’s likely to change at some point.
