Kitchen Re-organization!

While I was in California, Donald decided that the way we had things set up in the kitchen just wouldn't work for the kind of cooking we do!  So, with the addition of a shelf or two (another thing he favors), I now have a lot more counter space.  In fact, with the cooking/prep we did yesterday, we may even invest in another cutting board. 

 This is an island that we've had for years, that has only been used as an island in the little duplex we lived in briefly in Merriam right before we moved here.  Otherwise, it's always been just an additional counter.  He swung it around and extended the side.  Those of you familiar with my cooking process know that it would rarely be clean like this.  Usually it is covered!  ;)

 This is in the corner, behind the door into the dining room/living room.  The coffee pot was here, now the microwave is and it functions so much better.

Nice little shelf above the sink lets me put a few odds and ends on it.

And the coffee pot is to the right of the sink.  I now have a lot more counter space!
