Kitchen and Time !

Well - I certainly hope better late than never applies, yesterday - my normal Monday post - was crazy, including the long drive to South Texas to start a new project near my daughter's. Of course, she's looking for a slightly bigger house so that means she called on her former realtor mother to help - that took up all morning. 

After that flurry of activity, the cabinet maker brought the wine rack - the last piece of the kitchen cabinetry- yay!  

First photo is my new island - I just LOVE the paper towel holder build in to a drawer!  And how blessed am I to have not one but TWO junk drawers?! (photo 2).  And the third is unique to me idea - a pull out drawer with the step stools stored, a side slot for extra oven trays (I love this feature) - one of my favorite features 

My other favorite thing are the under sink drawers - the bottom drawer has kitchen/dish cleaning items. the top drawer has sink things: new sponges, wash rags, and scouring pads. We're waiting on the plastic inserts for the wet sponges - hopefully that won't take too long!  And of course - the wine rack.  We needed a larger one because we hardly ever open a bottle of wine. I suspect at this point a great deal of the wine is vinegar LOL. The debate is whether to stain for contrast or paint white to blend in.  WHAT do you think? 

Do you have a favorite a favorite kitchen feature? 
As a reminder, Owen releases on Tuesday - one more week!  Remember to tell all your friends! 

Okay, I'm off to bed and hoping for a better night's sleep! 

till next week!
