Long Winter

 

More cold, more snow. This Winter has pretty much paralyzed everyone, or at least forces a sort of slow motion existence.

 

Terry bought me a puzzle to help pass the time, but I had an indoor project on my mind...

 

 

Here's a kitchen view from the day we bought the house...

 

I just wanted a shelf under that cupboard.

 

Ask, and you shall receive. Terry worked his magic, and I had a shelf twenty minutes later.

I painted it, and it looked like it was always there...

 

Finished my puzzle too...

 

Today, I loaded up the shelf. This is a perfect, little space, over the stove, for all of the things I like to keep at hand while I'm cooking. I still miss having a hood fan (with light) over the stove, but this is pretty cool, and stays true to this older home.

 

 

I remain, obsessed, with this weird "stove in the middle of nowhere" situation. I just want to box it in, make it look like part of a counter, actually add a counter (somehow), I don't know. I will figure it out, eventually... 

 

For now, I am obsessed with cubbyholes and shelves. I want to build stuff in every nook and cranny.

 

I mean... I want Terry to build me stuff.

 

Long Winter.
