New Kitchen Digs

We've worked hard to add some new digs to the kitchen this past weekend. I sewed up some cheerful little curtains for our window above the sink. I purchased the fabric from Joann's, I believe it was around $5.00. I love the birds and the yellow. Next up on the docket, we got a brand new oven! Our other oven was becoming really dangerous and with Jack in the house we knew it was time to get rid of it. The oven would become as hot on the outside as it was on the inside, it would only allow one burner to be lit, and it would burn food at 200 degrees! Whoa... the hot on the outside was enough to say, "see-ya"! Unfortunately, to replace the oven exactly it would cost upwards of $1000-$1500... lets just say that doesn't work for us or this house. We went ahead and purchased an oven that we fell in love with. It has 5 burners (the burner in the middle houses a griddle). Ryan and I have something in the works to hide the back of the oven from the dining room. Stick around for that ;). As mentioned previously we have our awesome new produce holders! All in all I feel like we have a great "new" cozy kitchen.

Fruit Holder

We love fruit, but we don't love the counter space that it consumes. I generally don't store our fruit in the fridge because it is juiced/blended so fast that we like to have easy access to it. We also tend to forget about the fruit we have when its stored away in the fridge. So today I thought up a solution. Ryan hung wire baskets under the cabinets to hold our fruit... wooohooo! Easy access and more counter space win win my friends!
