Linking up with
Clan Donaldson again.
This week's Theme Thursday is Rooms. For anyone who wants to follow along, here are the upcoming themes:
I decided to use my kitchen. My kitchen is a multi-purpose room that is NEVER fully clean. There's too much stuff crammed into that tiny space. In fact, once we finish fixing up our attic (the current in a list of home renovations), the kitchen will be the next target to tackle.
We need more cabinets, we need a dishwasher, the list goes on....actually, we don't NEED any of those things, or we wouldn't have survived the last 7 years here.
As I was discussing with my mother a few days ago, we NEED much less than we think. Still, I'm looking forward to a few more cabinets and a dishwasher. In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure, my kitchen:
|
Note the two wall colors - in the middle of painting this room gray/blue - and pile of stuff on top of the fridge (that will go in a cupboard - once I get a cupboard up there!) |
|
Poptarts, cookbook, other sundry belongings....looks about right |
|
Still an absolutely functional space |
|
Making delicious blueberry lime jam |
|
Yes, I obviously have more than I "need" :) |
Incidently, the
Blueberry Lime Jam from the Ball Blue Book of Preserving is amazing!
Mmm....blueberry lime jam! Wait - were you talking about rooms? :-) Love it - you make it work and it becomes all you need.
ReplyDeleteIf blueberry lime jam comes from that room I am in. I think we have the same stove/oven. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful. And blueberry lime jam sounds incredible.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy you have this "before" pic someday. Now, I have to go find some jam.
ReplyDeleteHaha - that's the viewpoint I need, this is just the "before" shot....we're pretty close to an "after" shot of some empty jars though!
