Kitchen Scrubbing

Manuela's posts about cleaning her kitchen motivated me to do the same. I have a lot of guests coming through the house in February and I knew I needed to get to some deep cleaning.



I love my kitchen sink! It is a extra wide sink with no center bar which means a full sized cookie sheet will fit into it. I love that! I kept my old faucet when I replaced the sink but after seeing Manuela's I have added a new faucet to my list of needs and wants!



I love my red countertops! With my oak cabinets and wood floors, they are really very cool looking in my kitchen. I have mismatched appliances which doesn't bother me, but I eventually want to replace the microwave above the stove to a white one and the dishwasher is going to get a cover of tin ceiling tile soon!



Does this happen to you? As you are trying to clean, SOMEONE decides to make a pot of Pasta Figoli soup?? and gets in your way?? and messes up your kitchen??



How many coffee pots does one guy need?? I put away the grinder. I love my Longaberger basket. Thanks for the inspiration, Manuela!

Would you like to comment?

  1. Oh how nice it would be to have the ability to put an entire cookie sheet in the sink! With all of the things that get baked around here I am constantly washing cookie sheets.

    The sprayer works...but I get wet too!

    Your kitchen is a fun kitchen...and, hey, are you complaining that someone was cooking for you? Your husband sounds like a great chef.

    Have a fun day today, Terri!
    LOL

  3. Looking good! I, too, love my white sink with no divider. I'll never return to a two-sink system again. This post is going to require a follow-up when you get the metal ceiling tiles placed on the dishwasher!

    Well I'm glad I could help :-)

    It looks great! I really love those red countertops (I love red anyway) but they really look fabulous and I love the cute wallpaper boarder with the chefs (are they holding wine bottles?).
    I love my sink with no divider too. It's great for soaking big roasting pants. Yes, I love, love my gooseneck faucet. It makes it easy fill tall pots (but I see you can pull yours out so you can do that easily too).

    Your valance above your sink is so cute too (lucky you, you have a window)! Good job - It feels good to have that done. Now on to the bathroom (just kidding)!

    We're home from the lake, Terri and I need to so some spiffing up in the kitchen here!!

    We had some sleet before we got back from our doctor, this afternoon. He's at St Luke's Chesterfield, between 40 and 50 miles from us. We heard the ice is going along the same line it did 2 years ago(south). We are to have about 8 inches of snow, at most. They canceled the retiree's monthly breakfast at the electric company. It was to be tomorrow...sounds like they are expecting quite a storm.
    Stay safe and warm!!

  19. Terri, I love your red counter tops, too! Gee, you'd think "someone" thought the kitchen was cooking...making soup when you are busy taking pics, huh? LOL Take a pic of your dishwasher "before" you dress it up...that would make a great "Before and After" Met Monday post! :-) Thanks so much for the sweet comments you leave...truly mean a lot! Susan
