It’s an appliance party!
The changes in the kitchen have been less visible recently. Since the last update, the tiles were grouted and all of our appliances have come in! I worked from home the other day so I could be there for the deliveries. We cleared a space in the living room for the appliances since the kitchen isn’t ready for them yet.
We decided to get a small fridge since the space is so small. This LG model is one of the only ones sold that is 24″ by 24″. We went with all stainless steel and opted to not get a microwave. We just decided that the storage space was more important.
The contractors have patched up all the random plaster work including smoothing our the hideous popcorn ceiling that we were sporting.
Just disregard the nasty liquid nails residue on the subway tiling. It’s all going to be covered up again when the cabinets get installed. During one of our design ideas, we talked about exposing all the beautiful subway tiling. Thank goodness we didn’t go down that route. I don’t even think the liquid nails can come off those tiles…
And here’s a picture of the tile floor with the grout. I know some people were asking about what it looked like up close…
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Love those cabinet shelves! They look like a great space saver. I’ll have to look into those.
You have so many great solutions!! I’m RUNNING to Bed Bath and Beyond for the plastic bag holder–ours are just free under the sink!!
Anne – it really is great and not to $$ either!
I’m pretty sure you’ve talked about them before but can you please tell us where you got those neat spice bottles for your sugars? I LOVE them!!!
Shadow – They are part of Pottery Barn’s Daily System. The post coming tomorrow will actually go through how we made the shelf and include a link to the spice jars themselves.
the spice jars are so cool!! Can’t wait to see more about them 🙂 I love how vibrant all the colors are!
Great organizing! I’m always trying to figure out how I’m going to fit all my stuff in my kitchen. Thanks for the tips! BTW love those spice jars…so cute!
I’ll add my admiration of the spice jars as well – what a great way to keep them dry and organized while adding color to your kitchen!
Thanks for the info about the spice jars! They’re actually $10 off right now too, so you get 15 jars for $19!!!
…I might have bought two sets… 🙂
Can’t wait to see how you guys set up your shelf.
Great ideas! I also love the plastic bag holder among other items. Looking forward to the post on the spice containers.
Hopefully Hubby doesn’t hear the price went down so much. He about had a heart attack when I told him I was spending $120 on spice jars!
How is the towel made so it can hung by a loop?
I love love loooove what you’ve done with your kitchen. It’s so functional and looks fantastic. I’m definitely stealing some of your ideas and incorporating them into my kitchen. Thanks!
jenshowme – this is the paper towel holder. It’s a bar that gets attached on one side and has an arm sticking out that the paper towel goes onto.
Use tiered cosmetic cases!
They’re absolutely great. You can compartmentalize your things easily everything stays together. =)
