I like the counter as well. It's quite nice, clean and crisp.
I also wonder where the fridge went. Please take before and after photos from the same angle...I can't tell a thing without that.

I have to thank you for bringing back to my consciousness the idea of eating silently. Those who pooh-pooh this activity have obviously not tried it.
Yes, what you are recommending might not be the "run of the mill" typical American way but you keep on keeping on. New things stretch us and help us grow.
I admire you talking about it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the paint comment. I'm sorry, I don't know the names or numbers of any of the colors. I'm not great at accurately detailing all my changes.

As to the cost: I've probably spent ten thousand give or take over the course of the years making this little improvement and that one. Doing much more to it would not be wise, I think 'cause it just sits on rocks with a small crawl space underneath.
Regarding laundry, however, when I redid the bathroom, I bought the smallest stacking washer/dryer and now have a bath/laundry room. Works great for my purposes.

Thank you all for your wonderfully encouraging comments. I am in the part of St. Louis very near Ted Drews...St. Louis folks will know where that is.
I continue to work to improve my cottage and figure out more space-saving ways to live here.
Thanks again!

Disagree with the person who said, "messy car, messy house" or some such.
My house is very tiny and it is imperative that things are put back in their place or it gets messy very fast. I feel good when it is kept neat.

However, my car is a total mess.
