I think you’re right, Jill. All those sparkly clean kitchens? Those people order way too much take-out.

I don’t understand all this talk about “messy kitchen.” The more the kitchen get used for cooking, isn’t it going to be “messier” with cooking utensils and ingredients laying on counters instead of in its own space in shelves or cabinets? After all, we eat 3 meals a day and use it 3 times a day at least (unless we work outside of house). I think your kitchen looks fine.

Great job with the recycling of materials for the kitchen – wish people would do it more. Consumption patterns are THE sustainability issue – Reduce, Reuse and only then Recycle!

Thanks for the mention of the Habitat for Humanity store. We are actually called the “Habitat ReStore”. I mention this since ReStores are popping up all over the country [over 500 at last count] and the branding of that name is going to start taking off.

Anyone wanting to have an idea of some of the items we get in month to month should go to our website http://www.pdxrestore.org and sign up for our monthly enewsletter; in it I include lots of updates on whats currently in the store.

Thanks again for the mention.

Anjali, we will be smiling too — when it’s all done!

Hey Sally, both is about right for me on many days, but trust me: the kitchen is in good shape compared to certain other areas of the house. We have much much work to do all around.

BTW (glancing at your photos), Chopper will be jealous of your slow cooker. He wants one for his birthday.

ummm… wow. Just, wow. Your kitchen would have made me ballistic. Or suicidal. Or both. Probably both. Good job on your “new” kitchen. I admire your ability to find “useless” items and make them work for you. We had no place for a built-in dishwasher so had the plumber affix a hose directly into the water line. (You can see it by my sink.) No more moving that puppy back and forth to the sink. No more leaking water (or gushing water as the case may be). It works for us. Thanks for a great post. Good luck with your kitchen.

Oh, you crazy people, actually liking our messy kitchen!

(And don’t worry: It’s much messier today. Chopper brewed beer.)

Kathy, you know I may take you up on that. We like men with drills.
