Spent the morning reading and the afternoon at the office and didn't eat a thing. I think the heat has wrecked my appetite, for better or worse. When I got home I boiled up some beef and spinach ravioli from Cavanna Pasta, put a simple tomato sauce and some reggiano over it and scarfed it up. I may eat a salad in a while. But that's not what I'm here to write about. Bigger things are afoot.
Ok, I've known it for a long time but have been in denial. My kitchen is a wreck, my apartment is a wreck, my office is a wreck, my life may well be a wreck too. But all I'm ready to deal with at this point is my kitchen, and I'm going to use Steak Salad to document the progress.
Here's a 360 of it. Unfortunately, these photos have not been altered.
First, the stove / sink area with kitchen table in the foreground.
Next, the counter around the microwave / over the dishwasher, to the left of the fridge.
The water heating / pot and pan storage area. Fancy! sigh.
And finally, a reverse view of the kitchen table / laundry drying area.
My project this week is to whip the kitchen into shape and post the "after" photos by the end of next weekend. Even though no one who doesn't already love me and understand my tendencies reads the blog, the minute chance that a stranger might stumble on it and idly wonder if I got the ungodly mess cleaned up is motivation enough. I hope.
The kitchen is not a small room. The main problem is the lack of useful storage space. Well, that and the fact that I don't put anything away in the space I do have. That gift bag is from April.
Wish me luck with this, and feel free to post encouraging words and helpful suggestions to the comments. Who knows, if this works I may have to tackle the rest of the apartment.
On the sunny side (think 74 degrees, no humidity kind of sunny), this is one of the cute rubber coasters I got at the V&A. Do NOT ask how much they cost.
