New post finally - Goodbye Frosty

New post.... More to come!

We woke up to snow! Look how happy Frosty looks.

Now that the kitchen is done we can move on. It has been fun but it is also our last.

Ok, this looks a little strange but this stainless wall holds my favorite menus (signed) but also I clip on receipes and grocery lists.
Have I mentioned that I love to cook?

These are two of my favorite appliances in the pantry. The second dishwasher drawer and the most perfect appliance if you entertain......................the plate warmer. I have wanted one for years.

I designed this take on a hutch to hold dishes,flatware and small appliances here in the pantry and Tom built it for me.An interesting point is the fir counter top is reclaimed from an old Seattle building. We sanded it and sealed it. The cabinet pulls are from a rolll front chest of drawers my dad made in the early 50s. They are made of Bakelite,a popular material of its time.The chest has since seen better days but the history remains here in my memories.

Thanks for the visit. I need to download mor photos to continue. See you soon.

Pantry is almost finished.

Taken from the pantry. The walls are now board and batten.

This room worked pretty well as a kitchen while waiting for the kitchen sink and granite to be set.

The begining of the butler's pantry.

This dishwasher drawer is in and the cherry cabinets under the sink .

Much better size.

Now we're getting somewhere!

This does look like the 80s.

This garden style window over the sink has gotta go.

Ready for window replacements.This is the same window the robber broken into in 2004.

Sorry about that mix up. This is the old window and cabinet. Seemed to be good for nothing but people sitting on it.The french doors you see through the window is our "Boathouse".Theres no boat............just a name.

This space went from a larger window with a low counter to a smaller window and a taller cabinet. This will be all drawers for great storage.

The freezer,washer and dryer were delivered before the butler's pantry was ready for them.

Must do something with that skinny post.

It is now begining to look like an actual island will happen.

The cabinets are cherrywood with a chocolate glaze and w/full extention drawers.

The cabinets have arrived and are begining to be installed.I see the gas range is in as well.
