kitchen "remodel" ~ on the cheap!

For anyone who has been to our house, you know the kitchen is seriously lacking in functionality.
Its okay to admit it, we won't be offended.  We're really not attached to it.

The house was built in 1924 & back then they didn't need counters around the stove when they cooked because they didn't have food to cook with.  They just ate potted meats & canned potatoes.  No I joke.  I don't really know why there is NO counter space over in the corner where the stove is.  Maybe there was at some point, but anyway, the sink is 14 feet away from the stove with all the other counters making for some serious droppage & spillage of various food items as you trek across the vast linoleum landscape.

Alas, no more.


Hark you say, nay, you jest?  After 5 long years you've finally changed the status quo?  Surely you couldn't be happier with the long linoleum journeys?

No, we aren't, and don't call me Surely.



What else are we supposed to do on Friday night anymore?
Clubbing & barhopping is so out.
Reorganizing the kitchen is sooo in!


Those were the interim shots...
And here are the finished products of our labours!
BOOYAKAsCHA!



If anything about this whole project makes me happy it is this right here:


AHHHHHH.....can't you just feel the serenity in the simplicity of organization.  & Spices! YAY! You can see all the labels at the same time!

We'd like to thank IKEA & Swedes in general for their contribution to the golden age of functionality in the home.

Without them, we'd still be in 1924.
