Kitchen Magic: Slow Slide to Home Plate

Our builder did not quite believe all this white was going to work.  His own kitchen reflects great effort to disguise the sticky finger prints of three sons.  I have only one sticky-fingered individual to worry over, so the white is manageable here.  I think the brown kitchen that was here when we bought the house reflects a man's horror of anything too clean-looking.

When the quartz counter tops came in and the double enamel sink was replaced with this huge stainless one, I began to have visions of using the big pots again— the ones that are difficult to clean because they don't lie flat in a double sink or they bump against the sides of most sinks.  Family spaghetti dinners, stir frys, maybe a great chilli night!

And the great new doors on the wall cabinets, a mixture of white panel and glass-panel, are like a neat series of frames around the walls.

Pix come at the end, after surgery.  Imagine what a nice thing it will be to come home to a completed kitchen!  I have threatened Charles with bodily harm if he puts one tiny item in a drawer before I come home!

I am, however, sensible enough to thank him for his semi-patience through all of this.
