Ktichen renovation day 7 - the install is about done!

It's taken a week. But the job has been done well. Gene has checked every door, drawer and cupboard is square. If it moved it has been reinforced. It's been a big job and he's done amazing workmanship.

We still have cosmetic things to do. Like a few filler pieces, painting and tiling. And new flooring. And the exhaust fan. And an electrician for the dishwasher.

But it is a world of improvement on the old kitchen.



(sorry for the crooked photo! I must be more tired than I thought)

And like a good flybaby - the first thing I did when everyone left was shine my sink!

You can't organise clutter

I love this quote from Flylady. "You can't organise clutter". And it is so true.

I guess I just wanted to make a note of this for me, and for anyone wondering about the storage containers we bought yesterday.

YES - I bought containers to put things in - but they are not being used until we have gotten rid of the clutter - of everything that we don't use, don't enjoy, don't love first.

Nifty storage stuff is not going to solve our problems. Getting rid of the clutter will. (but then the storage boxes will sure look nice afterwards!
