I spent the better part of last night unpacking boxes that contained kitchen supplies (dishes, appliances, dishes, dishes…) and organizing them in my fabulously utilitarian kitchen. The storage space in it is amazing! So I got to take all my wedding presents out of their boxes and display them in my cabinets ( I did not even have to stack- I was able to actually decorate the inside of the storage cabinets they are so big!) I love kitchens. They are my favorite room to decorate. I love dishes, bowls, porcelain roosters, glass fruit, and pretty appliances. I must confess that I am not very useful at fulfilling their purposes, except for maybe the fruit and the rooster, but I am working on that. But everytime I move, I take the same things that I have in the previous kitchen and shuffle them around and it makes the room feel completely different. I love that. It makes my stuff feel brand new.
We got a refrigerator Sunday. It is one of those side by sides. My mom says I will live to regret getting a side by side, but that it was something I would have to discover on my own. (a little dramatic Mom!!) But I like it now; I feel so modern. I am discovering that I am married to a little do it yourself Handi-Man. He did not want to get it delivered and set up by the store, so we did it. We first took the front door off the hinges. Then we discovered we could not get it through the interior doors, so we took the doors off the fridge. Then we discovered that the people who lived there before us cut the water line instead unscrewing it. So two trips to Wal-Mart later, we get the water lines connected. Then we go to plug it in, there is a short in the outlet. AGH! It works, but I think it is a safety hazard the way it is plugged in. So the electrician will be out today to check it out. Thank goodness for house warranties!! Being an older home, we will have kinks to work out, but I do love our new house! It already feels like home, cozy.
