Getting Closer!!

I love my new over the range microwave. I tried to make some nachos and discovered that a microwave works best if you read the directions. I read the directions and got it to work!!! Amazing...

I have cookbooks and recipes on a shelf above the doorway from the kitchen to the laundry room. That is wasted space, so since my condo kitchen is small I believe it is the best use of the space and is easily accessible by my step stool. I am a handful of this and a pinch of that type of cook anyway! Notice the new knockdown ceiling.





The front edge of my laminate (wilson-art) countertop has a beveled edge, which I really love. It looks similar to a stone edge countertop for considerable less cost.

Next, is the backsplash and change out of over the cabinet lighting. Ron will be doing that work and I love the backsplash tiles which are porcelain with irregular edges to simulate tumbled marble.

The current light fixtures have a 4" profile so you can see the fluorescent bulb over the crown molding on top of the cabinet, so that will be changed to a 2-1/4" profile fixture. The new fixtures have a diffuser over the bulbs, so it will be a softer light.

After some other details the kitchen will be finished!! The dining area needs to be painted, so that will be done soon. The air conditioning system will be checked over and ducts cleaned due because of the black mold that was discovered in the kitchen.

Tomorrow I want to arrange my living room and bedroom furniture that was displaced when we did the kitchen project. Little by little it is all getting back together! I am starting to feel "normal" again.
