I'm sure you have noticed whenever there is a gathering or a party...most everyone hangs out in the kitchen...especially if there is a island / bar with stools to sit on. I have a friend who used a soft plush loveseat in her informal dining room adjoined to her kitchen looking out into the back lawn, trees and gardens.

Looking good though. Re the shelfs you want to put up instead of the box units, look for thicker wood/contiboard then it will be able to carry a decent load without bending in the middle.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-41810452352705185652016-03-01T23:24:23.080-06:002016-03-01T23:24:23.080-06:00LOL, I would work on anything you asked for some o...LOL, I would work on anything you asked for some of your cooking!!! :-)1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-12732986710223916542016-03-01T23:23:51.730-06:002016-03-01T23:23:51.730-06:00Well what a sweet comment, thank you for that!!! ...Well what a sweet comment, thank you for that!!!

We're going to pare down some more and live a bit more simply (at least that's our 'someday' plan). Man, I don't envy you and the work you are going to be going through.

I kind of am a great organizer, it probably drives 2nd Man crazy, he gets frustrated and thinks it won't work, I figure out how to make it work. Yeah the magnetic knife holder, I was going to post about that. We love it, found it at Ikea. But yeah, no kids around for something like that (or at least mount it up high). And thank you Jaime! More progress after this weekend. I'm hoping to get it finished this weekend but we'll see. It might take two more. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-62140169440024115212016-03-01T16:00:07.920-06:002016-03-01T16:00:07.920-06:00can you come to my house? i'll cook for you!can you come to my house? i'll cook for you!jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-39258985654076698372016-03-01T12:57:31.786-06:002016-03-01T12:57:31.786-06:00So warm and inviting.
