Stuff Portrait Friday: Kitchen, Handwriting, and Randomness

(As always, SPF is brought to you by Random and Odd.)



My kitchen is tiny. It's not quite as small as this; this is maybe a third of my kitchen area. But the other two thirds are taken up by the laundry area and the entry, so this is virtually the only part of my kitchen that I use for normal kitchen activities. When we moved in, I knew the kitchen was small, but it had no appliances when I first saw it. It was hard to picture it with the stove, fridge, and dishwasher (that's the big white box on the left, with the microwave on top. It is a "portable" dishwasher that theoretically can be moved over to the sink to run, but I was having none of that and had plumbing installed so I would not have to. Why didn't I just install it under the counter? Because the kitchen, it's SMALL, I'm telling you? There is just no room.)



My handwriting, as seen on my current shopping list. My handwriting is one thing that has improved with age, though it may not appear so here.



Something Random: This is Lucy, thinking she can get away with napping on Audrey's "sick couch" while Audrey takes a real nap in her own bed. But a good look at Lucy's ears will tell you she knows I'm there, and that she's so busted.

Oh yah, you can totally see her ears have swiveled around towards you.

She's ready for her "Lucy, get off the couch!" lecture :-)

Yup, LOVE the white cabinets. Consider our trade a done deal. :)

And oh yes, I recognize the position of Lucy's ears - my cats get in trouble a lot!

Yes the kitchen is tiny. But the upside of that is that you don't have to reach very far to get cooking supplies!!! :)

You captured the cat ears that tells us "She is not amused"....great shot.

I think your kitchen looks cool - very bright...mine needs updating because it's too dark for my current tastes...Actually mine is a bit bigger, but it's all wasted space in the center of the kitchen - so I get to take more steps from one appliance to the other.

A dream would be to have more counterspace..can I fit that in the center of the kitchen?

MB...that's what an island is for! You need an island :) I don't even have room for an island, unfortunately :/

Your kitchen is so bright! Windows help make up for small space.

My aunt and uncle had a dishwasher that had to be hooked up to the sink. I had never heard of anyone else having that before!

The only island I could fit in would be about 12 by 12 as in inches! I did see a small island on wheels that might fit because I could roll it out of the way of the opening doors (stove, dishwasher, back door...)but I think it would be more of a hassle than a help. Also there are always (so it seems) two huge dogs and two cats on the kitchen floor..!
