Kira Disapproves

Of course, it isn’t that grand, because I didn’t exactly stage these pictures. But here’s the final kitchen….

The stainless steel stove and microwave. I didn’t have a microwave at all until now. The first thing I did was go out and buy popcorn!!

The sink area with the awesome apron farm sink and silver-gray walls. Cyd painted those walls in exchange for me rolling fondant for the cake with Alex. Best deal ever. Notice Nikki’s mug sitting on the counter. Back when I was taking these pictures, I was still finding all the stuff she forgot at the house! To the right, you can see the other prep area/cabinets where the stove used to be. No more hansel and gretel!

And the best part of the new kitchen? More space for baking! Here are some awesome peach cupcakes I made. The book propped up behind them is the last of Libba Bray’s Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy. There’s lots of talk of Peaches and Cream complexions because it’s set in Victorian Britain. Since I was reading it at the time, it just seemed appropriate.

Pam pictures to come! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
