As I have mentioned, our quarantine kitchen project went from being just adding radiant heat flooring to so much more. One project we have added is rebuilding some of the cabinetry we have in the middle of the kitchen. Currently, it is a conglomeration of random pieces of furniture including two different bookshelves, a rolling cart with a cutting board top, and two separate cabinet units that we use altogether to create an island around our stove. My husband wants to build an entirely new unit that will be way more functional and look way nicer than what we currently have. Yesterday I took everything out of our current cabinets and took some measurements to see how big I would like the new cabinets to be. Instead of doors to shelves, we are going to build drawers, and I needed to give my husband some idea of how big I needed them to be. After figuring out all the measurements, I drew up my dream plan. Then we talked through the design, and it was delightful to discover that we were on the exact same page about our plans. That doesn't really surprise me, because we are often on the same page about everything. But it always delightful when we end up thinking the same thing without previously discussing it. I am continually delighted in our marriage, and I am so looking forward to this brand new functional kitchen!
On a side note, related to our construction project, my husband showed me this hilarious hashtag called Shudder Sunday that he heard about on NPR's Marketplace. We've already had an inside joke about how awful shutters are, especially because they are very rarely used for their intended purpose (of covering a window and protecting against weather). Apparently this guy named Scott Sidler, a house restorationist, agrees with us, and started the hashtag to collect pictures of shutters that totally fail. He told Amy Scott of Marketplace, "I just think that America has no clue how to use shutters right now.” The pictures are hilarious, and they had my husband and I delightfully giggling late at night in bed. He hopes that his kitchen construction project won't be a fail like these shutters are, and I am confident that it will be a huge success.
With delight,
♥Jamie
