Talk About Kitchen Organizing

Welcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new, check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

I know I will probably be doing TAT by myself this week because we are all busy having a fun New Year's with our family and friends but I had some great news that I couldn't wait to share. If you can find a moment to share a post you are welcome to join me!


Remember my kitchen island that took me two years to have built? Remember how excited I was to finally have it? Ya, you were wondering what had happened to that weren't you? Remember how carefully I designed it to my exact specifications?


Well apparently my specifications didn't take into account one thing. Getting it into the house! I knew our doors were 36" wide so I had it built 36" wide. Guess what? Just because the door is 36" wide doesn't mean the opening is 36" wide. That's where using a tape measure might have helped. When the door opening is 35" wide and the builder actually builds the island a tiny bit wider than 36" then it creates more than a little problem.

I didn't have a problem with Stranger cutting the door out but apparently he did because it took him a while to actually build up the nerve to do it. He finally agreed to do the dirty deed as it was the only thing on my Christmas wish list this year. I've always wanted big holes on either side of my garage door frame!

It took four big guys to move this 7 foot long 500 pound monster but it is in my kitchen and I'm in love! Just don't ask me when I am going to get it painted. That might have to be my Christmas wish for next year.


In the mean time I couldn't resist moving in. I spent the day Saturday re-organizing my entire kitchen and pantry and had the time of my life. I'll post more photos of the details later but there is now a place for everything in my kitchen and everything is in it's place.

Don't worry about getting bored, Stranger. I already have your next Mom's Mission Impossible project planned. I bet you can't wait!

What do you have to talk about this week?
