Opening Up
In his (wonderful) guest post, Dave called me She Who Must Be Obeyed. Hmmm. He definitely listens to me, supports me, cherishes me, and loves me. But obeys me? Not so much. When it comes to House Projects, I become She Who Must Be Ignored.
But this weekend, Dave came through. For a long time, I had wanted the center cabinets in our kitchen removed to open up the space. They bifurcated the kitchen, making it difficult for us to talk to our guests, and forcing them to clump up in the doorway, or lean sideways in order to talk with me as I finished up in the kitchen.
No more leaning and clumping! Just in time for Thanksgiving, I present: the Smiths' Open Kitchen.
Yes, we have a giant hole in our ceiling. Yes, we are crazy to do a major house project the weekend before we host 14 people for Thanksgiving dinner at our house. But I'm so excited! When our guests arrive on Thursday, we'll be able to talk and hang out. Maybe they'll even sit at our ktichen table and chat before dinner instead of clumping awkwardly in our doorway.
Who am I?

I totally LOVE your kitchen. I want one just like it, only mirror image for my house, and maybe with a wall oven to stop Fizzy Mowang from burning her fingers on the front.
Speaking of which, I had better go and get her out from under the sink.

All that work and then this morning I flip the light switch and none of the lights come on in that part of the kitchen. Too funny. You can see from the picture they were working after the demolition, but now for some reason they will not work (yes, I checked the circuit breaker).

I totally get the clumping thing - you've seen my kitchen.
