Saturday morning after a double shot americano I decided that I should re-arrange my kitchen. First of all I should know not to make big decisions while experiencing an espresso buzz, but that in combination with my nesting drive was too much for me to say no to. So the arranging began and continued on for two hours. I moved several large pieces of furniture, cook books, pots, pans, small electric appliances, you name it and it was probably touched and moved.
The re-arranging of furniture is nothing new in our home, you see I have a degree in Interior Design and space planning is a hobby of mine. The thing that was new on this occasion was that I had arranged and re-arranged the kitchen all because of the new rice maker I bought. I did not want it taking up my precious counter space so I tore apart the kitchen trying to figure out how to have my rice maker accesible yet out of the way.
I tried configuration after configuration and in the end I had lost the battle, sort of. My kitchen looked just the same as it had before my rampage, but a little cleaner and a little less cluttered in some areas. The rice maker is in a cupboard, not accesible but out of the way. And my ego was a little bruised that I had not been able to slove the design problem that had been set before me. Oh, and my back is sore from the moving of furniture.
I told Brian after accepting defeat that I am sooooooo ready to be in a house! I am soooooo ready to have a kitchen that has enough space that when I buy a small kitchen electric I don’t have to spend 2 hours of my Saturday morning figuring out where to put it, only for it to end up in a cupboard. I am ready for some more space!
