When you come up about 5 small steps from the front door, you will turn to your right, and this is the view into our VERY '70s kitchen. Right now, there are open boxes half empty, I have a fold out table that is doubling as a storage bench at the moment, and yes, recycling and bags everywhere. The kitchen, believe it or not, is so incredibly non-functional, it turns me off of cooking completely. It LOOKS like there's alot of space, and there IS.... but its not "Cooking" space. You could do yoga int here...... but entertain a party of 12? Well, doable... but difficult!! I'm still hoping for that winning lotto ticket so that I can demolish it and put in a new one!
The view from the other side. In this photo you can see the fold out table that is currently housing things that don't fit in my cabinets. Which of course, is alot since there is a major lack of cabinet space. See that dishwasher? yeah.. it doesn't work.
AND AHEM... in both photos, you probably have noticed those bulbous, tulip ceiling lamps... yes, they are JUST as hideous IRL, as they are in the photo. I sent my mother these photos and she told me she could not stop laughing at them. I mean, they really are hilarious!!
Well, there's a couple shots of the house.... I swear the rest of it is not as bad! But my mother did say I need to take some "BEFORE" and "AFTER" photos.... a mother does know her scrapbooker daughter eh? LOL
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Karen! Glad to see you sharing photos of your new home. Well, I have to agree with your mom...those lights do need to be near the top of your list to replace. LOL! I'm sure you'll get the kitchen you want eventually. At least you have the house with more space and that's a good start.
Yep! Those lights gotta go!! I have no doubts that when you're finished with this, it will be a showplace! :) In the mean time, I'd go for a crafty space!!! LOL!! Thanks for sharing your pictures, Karen. It's good to see you posting, and I can't wait to see more, whether it be renos, or crafty goodies! I just miss you!!
Love ya,
Lorie
Hey Karebear! Good to see you posting again! I feel your pain of an old kitchen. But it looks like you have lots of space for a future reno, and light fixtures are an easy fix. I've been making due with one from the 50's for 27 years, and my new one is still a year or two away. I'm with Lorie - go get your stampin' space together so you can get inky again! {HUGS}
You and me - pretty bad on the posting thing lately - LOL...
Love the kitchen but you're right - the lights gotta go: and maybe a cabinet or two moved and the layout changed and....
Gotta love getting a new place - let the work begin!
congrats though since it's YOUR place and you can do whatever you want with it!
Huggles to you sweet friend.
I love your kitchen. Thanks for sharing pictures of your new home.
