Worth repeating (again): Reflections after a year in our new kitchen

7 September 2023 | Comments [0] »

We renovated our kitchen in 2016. A year later I posted some reflections. Lately, I’ve been talking with friends and clients about kitchen design, so I’ve had a chance to think about how much I love this kitchen. The new kitchen has absolutely been life enhancing and we still love it. We’ve done a little bit of rearranging but the organizational infrastructure I set up seven years ago remains solid. My only regret is that we took 24 years to renovate our old red kitchen!

Reflections after a year in our new kitchen

A year ago today, our kitchen renovation was complete and I finished unpacking and organizing our stuff into the new kitchen. A month or two later, I wrote a blog series about the renovation.

Today I want to highlight a few of the storage features of my new kitchen that make me smile. Nothing earth-shatteringly innovative here, just really nice conveniences.

Lessons learned from our kitchen renovation

22 August 2016 | Comments [7] »

Last week, I shared photos of our lovely new kitchen. We’re not quite finished…there’s the tiniest bit of finish work that needs to be finished as soon as we get the supplies from the cabinet company. But for all intents and purposes, it’s done. Here are some of the lessons I gleaned from the renovation experience. Perhaps they’ll help you if you redo your kitchen.

Happiness is a new kitchen

18 August 2016 | Comments [4] »

After only 24 years of living with an 80s-era kitchen in our 1908 home, my husband and I had our kitchen remodeled this spring. It wasn’t strictly necessary. (In fact, this Huffington Post piece on not needing a new kitchen really resonated with me.) But it seemed time. And, of course, once it was done we wondered why we waited. We absolutely love it.
