Kayon, just one tip: if you run your dishwasher every once in a while (maybe once every four to six months?) you will keep the gaskets supple and keep all the moving parts working. If you fail to run a dishwasher for too long, you may find yourself needing to repair or replace it, and that could be a problem if you ever decide to resell your apartment. My sister learned this the hard way when she renovated her house and tried to put the same dishwasher back into her kitchen after a two year absence.

Started with a simple list, but since I'm enjoying a couple of days off this week, it quickly commenced to "I'll just move this over here" and after an afternoon of that I ended up with a completely revamped kitchen and a complete lack of "before" pictures. What I do have, now is a more functional flow, and the table that was my desk (really a resting place for piles of papers, etc.) is now gone and replaced with two comfy chairs that will be a nice place for folks to hang out while I cook. Since I moved just about everything, I also cleaned everything. In one happy accident, I managed to switch the direction the table/island faces and now I have a place to set down groceries and not have to move them again to put them into the fridge! I still had time to clean out the hall closet, too! Staycations rule!

Second that Pride and Prejudice nod from MsChatelaine.

Love it! More pictures of the interior needed!
