Wow, It has been a while. But through the dust, ash, stain, caulk, shims, blood, tears, rusty nails, rusty caulk, rusty tears, and more than a few confused arguments there is now A BRAND NEW KITCHEN!!! I have to say I'm really wild about this place! Lets get the ol' blog back on-line with a short tour:

First and certainly one of my favorite additions: A spooling 30' extension cord providing safe, out-of-the-way power for... |

A great big central Island with roll out drawers and... |

...an extended lip and stools for guests to sit |

Added a pot rack for convenience in a small space. I love having it, especially in the mornings making hot cereal |

A brand new 33" Espresso granite composite sink. Went the extra mile for a 9" depth. The sprayer head faucet is pretty great too, especially for cleaning out the sink tubs after loading the dishwasher. |

These knobs are SOOO cool! I've had them for years but never brought them out. Now they finally have a home! |

...Numbered 1 through 3 all throughout the kitchen. Helpful that I can say "grab that flour from the number 3 pantry" when someone else is helping in the kitchen. |

My Mom gave me this great maple butcher block table years ago but I havent had space until lately. Being stored for years didn't do it any favors but some heavy grit sand paper, a sharpened bench knife, and a quantity of mineral oil and voila: Back to life and ready for use! |
Ikea to the rescue once more as far as storage space goes. Two glass-pannel bookshelves turned pantry and lighted glassware case!

I still geek out about finally having a brand new slide-in gas range! Gas convection, 4 top burner, convection bake/roast, proof and warm settings! Made a bit of a new years dinner on its first day. |

The benches for the breakfast nook are done! All we need now is the table! See that morning sunlight! |

Here we end with just a shot I really liked of the whole kitchen triangle! |

So that ends the tour for now. I want to end this return post by once again thanking everyone who has stuck with us through the long absence. Just as a little returning fanfare (and a bit as a goofy photography experiment thought up in a half-dream) I also made
Now get those aprons laced, ovens warmed up, pans seasoned, knives honed, and torches fueled up cuz' we're ready to jump back in!! See you all again soon!
