More kitchen

Before and After

Here's half...the other half didn't turn out(I think there's just way too much light in there now, and my poor camera can't handle it!) and the other pics have to wait 'til I've unpacked more. A good friend came over last night and we got tonnes of organizing done, but she had to run and I was wiped when she left, so there is stuff all over the place yet. And everyone knows that camera's resist messy pictures. Especially mine.

My kitchen is done!

It took me all day in bits and pieces to clean up the counter top so that I could see the end product as it was meant to look.

And what was my impression? The same it was on Saturday night when we came back late-ish. I saw everything better than I imagined it to look (though unfinished) but the best part of all was the toddler standing in front of the sliding door leaning side to side with a cute smile on his face just for me. He was definitely the highlight of the kitchen!

Today, the highlight for me, amidst all the mess, was an adorable little baby rolling from one side to the other desperately whacking his toys farther and farther from his reach in uncontrolled bursts of enthusiasm.

What could be better to have in a kitchen?
(Remind me of this when I'm cooking dinner and tripping on kids and toys and wishing the questions and stories could cease for a moment!)
