There is still something really nice about getting a job completed - as much as we've loved the process, sitting back & enjoying our new kitchen is feeling pretty damn groovy. It's all come together remarkably well - the fold out table caused us a few headaches, & the pallet ceiling is a bit gapy in some places, but otherwise it's all rather fabulous. Time to kick back & enjoy all those luxurious morning teas we've been dreaming of for months!
With the completion of the kitchen, we've said goodbye, at least temporarily, to the blue tent (aka "hercules") which has functioned as our outdoor kitchen for almost a year. Amazing piece of kit. A stunning performance, & way beyond our expectations considering it only cost us $350 new.
So now time at last to switch into gardening mode & set up more growing space - and there's lots of it. Small living spaces generate more garden, which is totally us. We are the complete antithesis of the modern subdivision, which seems to equate grossly oversized houses with no garden, as equaling success and happiness. Good luck to them!
