House Tour - The Kitchen

Before we get on with the house tour, I need to tell you about what an awesome movie The Wolf of Wall Street is... it's a very good, very well done, high-adrenaline, surreal, fascinating flick. The running time is 3 hours, and it didn't drag once.

Now, onto the tour.

When we left off, we were heading from the dining room into the kitchen:

So, now we enter the kitchen, and it looks like this:

Yes, there is a washer and dryer in our kitchen:

It's kind of nice having the washer and dryer there. As a couple people have told me, it's very European. I thought I would mind having them there, but I don't, and I actually kind of like it.

Here's another view of the kitchen:

I've always wanted to hang my kids' artwork (and my own, apparently, 'cuz I'm the one who painted the picture of those trees) on a line with clothespins, and I finally did it. So that's nice.

Here's another shot:

Oh, and another thing I did that I've always wanted to do can be found inside the cupboards. I finally labeled and organized some of the miscellaneous bulk items that we buy. This makes me very happy to look at for some reason:

And here's an interesting thing that you might not know... did you know that if you take green onions and stick the roots in a jar of water, they will re-grow? So, I keep some on our counter and I keep using them and re-growing them:

And here is a bird that is hanging above the sink:

Vern and I bought that on our no-kids get away on the North Shore, so it's a nice memory of that. I've also noticed that I kind of have a lot of birds happening in the house. I think there is probably some sort of bird in almost every room of the house. (Kind of reflecting one another, I guess.) And I've been thinking about my proclivity towards birds, and why that might be, and I think they might represent our family kind of finding its wings again and learning to fly.

Yes, that's cheesy, I know.

Monday, we'll head upstairs.
