It starting to look like an actual Kitchen!



It's starting to look more like a kitchen. We have actually cooked and washed dishes inside the last two nights. Today I even got to put the silverware away in a silverware drawer as soon as it was dried!

For those not in the know, our old kitchen had no drawer that really worked as a silverware drawer so all the forks etc... were in cups hanging off the side of the countertops over by the table.

We got all the slide out shelves into the pantries tonight. I have even started migrating food over from the dining and living rooms back into the kitchen. You can see the tea up in the corner with all of my Christmas cookie tins. There is so much room now!

The electrician should be coming on Tuesday and so by that night we should have our ovens, dishwasher and under cabinet lighting all working. And we will be able to turn the kitchen lights on and off from the hall!! Currently you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the lights, so this will be a big improvement.

I am hoping to have unpacked back into the kitchen pretty much completely by Sunday. We won't be done yet because we are still waiting for some back ordered door front and cover panels from Ikea and for the back corner of flooring that I had to order when we ran out.

While we are waiting for that we can start looking at and deciding on tile for the backsplash and for the wall by the table.
