A little insight into my sense of humor. It doesn't matter how
many times I watch this clip, it always makes me laugh.
Make sure your volume is up and ready to go.
If monkeys dressed as humans and telling jokes isn't funny,
I beg you to tell me what is. ENJOY!

Out With the Old...
Welcome to my kitchen, may it not make you too queasy.
Matt and I have lived in our house for just over a year now,
and we can't take a minute more of this room. The wrecking
ball arrives tomorrow, so I thought it best to document the
before to truly appreciate the after.
A few notes - our house was built in the late 1800's. It has
been renovated and added on to for the last 70 some years.
The kitchen is not a reflection of the whole house (thank god)
and although we have a few projects ahead of us, this is THE
BIG ONE! Finally, I removed every piece of flare from the
kitchen to distract the eye from its hideousness prior to
these photos.
Shall we?
This is my sink, otherwise known as the death trap. It
is cast iron with a beautiful gold overlay. It eats everything.
I have not even attempted to use any dishes we received
as wedding gifts. Almost every plate we use (of our
shitty "wow our first matching dish set!" collection) is chipped.
We have resorted to using plastic cups. I will not
shed a tear when this sink goes to heaven. You may note
there is not a dishwasher in the kitchen...that too will soon
change. A couple close ups before she retires.
Gotta love that nozzle!
That is clean by the way. As clean as it gets. Now as we
stand at the sink, we turn our heads to the right. What is
that?
Nothing, it is a virtual cabinet with some stick things.
When it is opened it is about an inch deep. Shoved
a few spices in there. It is being removed.
Now let's turn to the left.
These are the only cabinets in the whole kitchen for
dish storage. Spacious it is not.
You may have noticed the serving window and doorway
in the first photo. It leads to what I like to refer to as
the colossal waste of space. Let us proceed.
We are now in the colossal waste of space. It is a room
with a useless bar, windows that don't open and a hole
in the ceiling.
Now let's look through the serving window from the colossal
waste of space back into the kitchen.
I know, I know -
your jealous of my range. It's a natural reaction. The door
(which will be replaced with a real human sized door)
leads to a bathroom...which is also being gutted . I'll make sure
to post a couple of those photos before demolition.
Sherman (my in-laws dog) is a only an extra in the next photo.
I really wanted to share the floor. Linoleum, green diamonds
even though there is not a speck of green any where else in
the room. It's peeling in almost every corner.
Ok. I'm sure you have had enough. Now think how I feel.
HARD ROCK MAPLE, GRANITE, STAINLESS, CERAMIC
OR BUST!!
