Welcome to my Blog

I love to fix up, re-do, improve my home, but try to remember, "If it works, don't fix it."

Kitchen is Functional !!!

I am so happy to have a functional kitchen. I keep moving things around to get them in logical places. I did a search on "kitchen organization" and I realized that I had a somewhat fragmented kitchen even thought I considered myself to be organized. HA!

Now I have all the baking stuff in one area, all the prep stuff in another area, etc. My new pots are gorgeous. Tools of the Trade, Belguique, Copper Bottomed very beautiful and are used with low heat, retaining flavors and nutrition of the food. Includes a nice steamer, double boiler, interchanging lids and it is like having a mix and match wardrobe.

And I bought new flatware to replace the wedding gift flatware from 1975 and I realized that the flatware lasted way longer than the marriage. LOL.. No I am not a jaded cynic! But the new set is an inexpensive and very well made. I am loving that too.

I just did a complete overhaul because this new stuff will last me the rest of my life, barring any disasterous misfortunes.

This kitchen reorganization is spilling into the rest of my home and I am sensing a major purge coming. Once the living/dining area is done being painted, I want to put it together from the basics just like they do on HGTV, then stop before it looks cluttered. It will be a challenge so I might call in an objective friend for help. It will feel like I am in a new home. Then, I want to open my home to my friends so they can enjoy it when I entertain.

This is all very fun and exciting! More pictures as i progress...
