in the kitchen.

When it's clean, our bright kitchen makes me happy. It's not too big, but not too small either (unless of course it's my turn to prepare our huge family Sunday dinner and there's 25 people waiting for food). It has just the right amount of old quirks like open corner shelving, a funny built-in desk that could only fit a small child, and the original 1940s milk delivery door.

There's also one of those narrow closets with a pull-out wooden ironing board. On a whim I decided to drill a hole into the door and add a knob, so I could hang up a cute apron, oven mitt and potholder. You know how it goes around here... the more color the merrier.
