The kitchen has been closed since April 15 when we took out the stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, counters and most of the cabinets. We also knocked out a wall.
Kitchen Renovation Central.
For meals, we have learned to forage, going to the store 2 - 3 times each day in search of yogurt, a salad, or something to call dinner. There's also pizza and sushi. It's not bad!
As of today, we have running water and a fridge. We do not have a working stove. Dishes and pantry items are still in boxes. Forlorn wires hang from the ceiling in lieu of pendant lights.
But Andrea has waited low these long weeks and now demands A Viewing. Tonight we will sit at the soapstone altar and enjoy a foraged supper.
Bar stools have yet to be ordered. We'll sit low in our chairs, remembering that "he who is down need fear no fall." As wine glasses empty our cheeks will glow and the unfinished kitchen will be the most beautiful kitchen that has ever been.
