Replacement

Change always seems to cause upheaval, whether it is a minor change or a major change.
When we remodeled our kitchen, a lot of things changed. We completed the replacement of all the old cabinet with brand new, light-colored ones that make our kitchen look much brighter. We took down a wall between the kitchen and dining room and replaced it with a short bar. The bar has storage space and it’s great for serving, as well as sitting down for a quick snack.
(This is how a remodel starts!)
We moved the refrigerator to a different wall. We replaced the flooring. We even replaced the window over the sink.
All this replacement has created some confusion, though, because now I can’t remember where I put things. I’m slowly learning, and I do tend to be an organized person. I like to store things in the same area where I will use them. Seems obvious to me that dishcloths and towels should be next to the sink; that ingredients and equipment for baking should be near my work station. It’s the odds and ends that a driving me crazy.
Add to all that the fact that Terry has been cooking for the last four months, and he tends to put things anywhere he can find an empty spot. That makes for some very interesting scavenger hunts.
Replacement can be an excellent thing. I just should have made a map 🙂
No pain, no gain. 🙂
I remember when we moved into this house and remodeled our kitchen. That is awful, but the end result is beautiful.
Yes, indeed. I love my new kitchen.
It’s worth the wait! I like things in a certain place as well. It is a lot easier and faster if there is some consistent organization.
It’s interesting what that can mean to different people. My mom’s kitchen cabinets were always crammed to bursting, and they weren’t organized the way I would do it. She, however, always knew exactly where everything was and could put her hands on anything instantly 🙂
That’s always done when old things have to be refurbished for new things. Lots of workings go into it.
Yes. You never worried about where to store the salt and pepper before 🙂
Yes absolutely true.
