Getting it Together--the kitchen

We're making progress on getting settled. Perhaps it's a testament to what we find most important as to what rooms are put together first... In that case the girls get top billing. By the time they got here on Friday their room was essentially ready. I will take more pictures of their room soon, but we do want to get up a valance and I have to get all those toys put back away--they are definitely enjoying having all of them out back there.

The next spot to be put together was the kitchen. The last of our things arrived yesterday and by this morning the kitchen is ready. The only things remaining to do are to move a couple of items off the top of the cabinets and into the garage (things we don't use frequently) and to hang a curtain rod over the window above the sink.

Here's the view into the kitchen from the dining area. That's the garage door straight to the back.

So, if you come over, I can cook for you, provided you bring the ingredients. I'm still working on getting all our staples built back up. I just can't guarantee you'll find a place to sit without having to move an empty box out of it or that the living room will be tidy.

And as for that importance and where things are taken care of first--well I'm pretty sure the last place to be put in order will be my bedroom. It's a great place to stash things away from the children and I really spend so little time there. As long as there is a bed to sleep in and I can get to my clothes without having to move too many things, I'll call it good for now. But I'm not taking a picture of that mess.
