Day 30



Small spaces, small changes
The changes that took place in the kitchen today are small, both literally and figuratively. This means that small goals have been fulfilled. Their small size, however, does not negate their large importance in any way...for we must always remember what a wise man once said about small goals:

"I like to set small goals that might lead into larger ones, like making toast; this might lead into making a sandwhich and possibly my own space program."

It's with that spirit in mind that I bring you today's kitchen update. Here we have a couple of pictures of the storage "cubbies" (as we affectionately call them) which will sit atop our wall cabinets. These are small storage spaces, but were a way for us to use space that would otherwise simply go to waste if it were a soffit. This is because our ceiling was not high enough for us to use the tall wall cabinets. So our plan is to mostly use these small spaces to hold our cookbooks, which we will wrap in nice colored paper. Ooh-lala.





These have not been permanently set in place, and thus have gaps between them and the cabinets.




Another small change is the addition of the oak transition pieces (stained to match the cork), and the staining of the replacement oak slats that were dropped into place in the areas where the walls were removed. They will get polyurethane coats soon, but for now have merely been stained.
