Cozy Kitchen

This is the story of a kitchen.  A sad, ill-fitted little kitchen that looked rather like an afterthought instead of the warm center of a home.  The slot for the fridge was too small for a fridge of today.  The counter space was lacking.  And with no pantry, the cabinet space was skimpy at best.  But most of all, the pale pink hue of both cabinets and counters, left a sickly feel to the room no matter how much her dwellers tried to disguise it.

After much research (and a tight budget) those dwellers decided it was time for the pale, sickly kitchen to become the warm gathering place that they knew was hidden underneath her pallid, cracked countertops.

The fairy god(father)* was called and a weekend makeover was arranged.  He worked wonders fitting in cabinets that warmed her space and cutting countertops (with such confidence) that polished her edges.

getting there...isn't the space overwhelming?

More counterspace, more cabinets, a pantry and a space for the fridge!  All who entered her home remarked on her charm.  "Surely", they would say, "this is not the same bland, pink kitchen we knew before!"

And her dwellers look at each other across the room and smile at the new life that she breathes into their home and the magic created there!
