I have no excuse. Well, one small excuse: We're buying a house! That, coupled with about 6 weeks of crazy workload makes Mindy a bad blogger.
But! I've started cooking a bit again. I made bag salad with feta and fresh toasted almond for dinner tonight. Does that count?
I CANNOT wait to share my adventures in cooking in my new kitchen with you. We will have ALL NEW APPLIANCES! I will have... wait for it... a vent in the kitchen! And not 3, not 4, but about 8 feet of linear counter space!
Here is a before of our new kitchen. Much as it pains me, the only way to open up the kitchen is to remove and sell that super-neat built-in display cabinet. Don't worry, at least 4 more built-ins remain in this fab-o 50's house.
We have lots of great plans for this space. Even though the general layout in the kitchen will be similar, we'll have all new finishes, some open shelving (perhaps), some revised cabinetry, and new floors and paint.
Wish. Us. Luck!
Good luck and CONGRATS! The kitchen pic looks so familiar, I wonder if I've ever looked at that house. When I was looking 2 years ago, I felt like I looked at every single listing in town (although I did not). What part of town is it in?
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's in Dellwood, near 51st and Berkman. It's possible this was listed earlier, like a year or two ago, because the owners moved out around that time to an assisted living situations and sold it to their daughter... Can't wait to get in, fix it up, and have y'all over.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, there is nothing better than a new kitchen to get the juices rolling!

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back! Very exciting purchase! That is a fun little area, especially with everything that is happening at Mueller.
ReplyDeleteBummer about that cabinet... it's swanky! I'm sure you'll find a way to make due without it though...
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I just remembered that blogger doesn't pass comments on like livejournal does, so I just read this! Now I know where your house is and I'll stop asking you. Great area.
ReplyDeletehow fun... a new house! good luck, i can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteNew houses are great and a very valid excuse for not blogging. I came across your blog from Taco Journalism and it looks like I will have a good time back-reading. Those built ins are really cool, sad they have to go.
ReplyDeleteNew year, new kitchen, new recipes! Your redo sounds fabulous.
