we never did end up cooking any meals in the original kitchen at hillside. as a mater of fact, ripping out this kitchen was one of the very first projects at hillside. it was super easy taking everything down and getting it recycled or to the dump and really opened up the space. long gone are the above the counter cabinets at hillside...never to return.
now, putting it back together again did take a bit longer than we had hoped, but that is all par for the course. and honestly, our makeshift kitchen grew on me and its charming dysfunction had its way with me and i kinda miss it.
BUT..after a few years of saving pennies for the kitchen fund...we got started and now we are so close to the finish line...at least for the one side of the kitchen. about one more day with our contractor/friend gus and the drawers will be installed and the baseboards assembled and BAM. so close....
grateful.
