the workaround


You always hear the horror stories of renovations: the dust, the delays, the budgets blown...but I thought, really, how bad can it be? Living in the apartment without a kitchen for few weeks? Is that really the end of the world? No way. We'll just move everything into the living room and work around it. But, um, it's the mother of all work arounds. Plastic has become my new best friend. As has painter's tape.


Our friendly little fridge chugs away next to our entertainment center in the living room. And you know, it's quite convenient. Who have I become?


And the wine decanter, Kitchen Aid stand mixer, pasta pot and juicer have taken shelter in ... the bedroom. Gross.

I had to laugh at your fridge placement. It's amazing what we can get used to during renovations. Your fridge next to the entertainment center sounds much more convenient than our fridge in the basement. It's tucked away, but also involves up the stairs, down the stairs, up the stairs, down the stairs all day long. Who needs the gym during reno? Love your choices, and look forward to the final product!

I laugh at the fridge placement every day, too!! But thank goodness we have it! But that's some nice exercise you have going on there.
