Kitchen Ceiling Fan

One of the first updates to the kitchen was to add a kitchen ceiling fan and replace the current overhead light.

Currently don’t have an overhead vent hood – so obviously this comes in kinda handy when smells and smoke go awry. It also keeps it good and cool when the oven and whatnot is pumpin out some serious heat. Pops was concerned because of the orientation of the fixture – the previous owner’s kitchen redo was wanting in a number of areas – and we weren’t sure we were gonna be able to use the fan – due to the awkward plaster cut you can see in one of the photos.

It went a lot smoother than we imagined — and the fan was up and running in about an hour.
VoilÃƒ . We haz fan on 12seconds.tv

Still plenty of work left to do to make this kitchen a helluva lot more functional — including finding some time to purchase that elusive kitchen cart.

Thanks to pops – of course – but thanks also to moms – who went about dusting and cleaning and beautifying the way only moms is capable of.

On to the Kitchen

So with the help of pops, we finally managed to finish the floor.I can still feel it in my lower back and in one funky spot on my ribs.

I’ve checked out a few books from the brary on kitchens — currently getting quite a few ideas from the aptly titled 1001 Ideas for Kitchen Organization.

I imagine this will be more of a process than a back breaking endeavor. A few areas I’ve marked for improvement: herb window garden, knife rack, hooks for hanging mugs, wine rack, stemware hanger – each turn of the page seems to offer something new to think about. One thing I’m definitely going to need is a kitchen cart:

I’ll keep ya posted.

Keeping me busy

Maybe I have to add some words to make that slideshow show up on the front page — as it’s only showing now when you click the title of the post….let’s seeeee. Nope – you’ll have to click the title until I get it figured out.
