Kelly Osbourne's color-coordination

I have to admit, I never thought about matching one's shoes with one's tattoos.

No, I don't have any tattoos. Or decent shoes.

Our new kitchen: before and after

Mom, Dad, Andy, you might remember these rooms from your stay:

Remember this?


And this?



And this?



And this?



WELL, GUESS WHAT WE DID?!?!?!

This is roughly where the old bathroom downstairs used to be, looking toward where the laundry room used to be.


Looking from the far back corner of the old kitchen, where the smaller refrigerator was, toward the former laundry room entrance.


Looking toward the back corner; same spot for the oven, with a new microwave over top.



A view of our post, and my sister-in-law sitting at the new counter.

Looking toward the dining room and the old laundry room.





Back corner again; Maggie sits on a bench with storage underneath.


The old entrance to the kitchen, which will become a "powder room," with toilet and sink, eventually.



The old kitchen's sink, still usable, is on the right, and the big refrigerator and a laundry stack back up to the new wall.

That's exactly where the old washer and dryer sat. The entrance to the right is the old laundry room entrance.


So that's it! What do you think? The floor is Pergo. We'll have some track lighting installed, too, eventually.

'Tree of Heaven' by James McKean

Tree of Heaven (Iowa Poetry Prize)Tree of Heaven by James McKean

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


May I'm biased; Jim was my thesis adviser in grad school. Then again, the Iowa Poetry Prize should indicate the power of "Tree of Heaven." I'm not sure I can give an adequate description. I'll just say, I finished each poem in amazement and gratitude for a new way of seeing.
