The kitchen
OK, OK, forget the mopping – that’s the joy of this color vinyl – you can’t tell how dirty it is!
The overall kitchen:
The left cabinets (newer):
(laundry area through door to the right)
The right cabinets (older):
I like the base cabinet depth all the way up here – I can put those lesser used things up high, but still reachable with a stool – rather than digging through the back of some corner cabinet!
And the looking through to the playroom is kind of cool.
The blank spot on the right of the sink is where the microwave will go (we had to order one to get the countertop size I wanted – can’t fit an over-the-range model in this kitchen).
Overall – I’ve gotten used to the layout and really like some of the cabinets. I could use a little more pantry, but it has a ‘kitchenette’ by the inlaw suite (which I’ll use for food storage, baby bathing, and extra pantry cans, etc). The stovetop is flat like I like (white is harder to keep clean, but I knew that). Don’t really like white cabinets (same reason – hard to keep clean), but since 2/3 of the cabinets are old (and a little crusty under my shelf liner), I’d like to replace them someday and I’ll get the color I want then. Until then, it’s nice - the dishwasher is GREAT and quiet, and I’ve always wanted a window over the sink that looks out to the back.
