A State of Flux

Living in a house that was build in 70's and lost track of time over the years means there's lots to be done to bring it back to today's world.

We bought a house with a Harvest Gold wall oven.  The only good thing about it is that it still works.  Or it did until a few weeks ago when the kitchen reno went into phase 2 and it was removed.  We know it will never be installed again, yet it sits next to Patrick's chair, close to the dishwasher.  Though they may be handy for Patrick to reach from his chair, they're both waiting for their new home.

Before

The dishwasher wants new tile under its feet, the oven just wants someone to want it.  In the fall when we settle back to life in the US we'll count our pennies and head off to Lowes to buy a nice, shiny, clean slide-in stainless steel range and oven.  We could have had one last week, but the dentist took my money for a crown and bonded teeth.

During construction--in flux!

We're lucky to be related to a cabinet maker who is willing to renovate and move a few units to the middle of the room to make an island.  Another resource has access to Corian material for the counter top.  In the end our kitchen will look bigger, have more storage space, and most rewarding of all it'll be up to date.
