The Climax . . .

Bet you wondered where I was. Well, I've been COOKING!!!  Seriously, the kitchen is really done and it's even all away and organized. The final act was the backsplash. Matthew and I spent several hours at the tile store and sure enough, the first choice was the best.





I am in love with my pantry, particularly the rolling shelves:


I even have a baking cabinet! Did I mention I don't really bake?



When all is said and done, I have decided to change my analogy. I think a kitchen remodel is less like porn and more like pregnancy. There are months of insanity, weight gain, mood swings, crying jags, throwing things and swearing at people (husands and strangers), not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and never-ending doubt and questions. But at the end of the, um, project, there you have it; a wonderful bundle of joy.

Guess I have to remodel the second kitchen next. (Also kind of like pregnancies and babies: you forget the bad part and just remember the great end result. That's why people have more than one!) Cheers!
