The Kitchen Redeaux

Here is a picture of what our lovely kitchen looked like when we moved in...

And here is what it looks like now! Taadaa!

The dishwasher I found at half price online. Unfortunately, the close proximity of the dishwasher and refrigerator  prohibited us from opening the door of the dishwasher. After a month of using only the top shelf of the dishwasher (and with Dave occasionally bending over to put dishes in the bottom) I thought to myself, "We can't be the first people with this problem." And, voila: The DishDrawer!

Pretty, isn't it? The drawers pull out and get loaded as you can probably imagine. 

I still have yet to grout the tile on the backsplash, but the new hood came from IKEA. Shelves too.

The kitchen window looks into half the yard. There are two wonderful birch trees and a shed that offers safe housing for wasp's nests. Someday that shed will be replaced by raised planting beds.

Notice the sweet little owl bottle opener? A valentine's gift for Dave... and a hit with his friends, of course.

Pans hang under the counter...

...more to come soon!
