Kitchen-esque

OK. I know that that isn't a word, but I am making it one. My definition is a room that is starting to look like a kitchen.

It is going slowly. I framed the window above the sink and put some of the base molding in place. I didn't put the actual window in place yet. It is a bump out and I still have to do the leaded glass for it.

Tessie seems to think that every time I add something she should quickly move lots of the stuff in to see if it still fits. I haven't figured out why she thinks she should have a say in what goes into the kitchen, other than the fact that she seems to spend more time here than in her own place. Maybe I should suggest that she apply for the housekeeper's position........No. I couldn't be that cruel to Zar. She would drive him over the edge in no time flat.

The window over the sink was finished with a piece of crown molding to hold up the sill, a 3/32" piece of wood cut to fit inside the window box and out over the molding. Then I ran a piece of molding up either side. Don't tell anyone. I cut off the top of the photo because I don't have the top piece in place yet.

I probably should have started with the one at the back. It is my least favorite one. It will just be a boring regular window. I did get the ceiling light hung higher. The shelf unit that goes in front of the dumbwaiter is just temporarily stuck up there to see how it would look.(courtesy of Tessie)

Balthazar is going to have to sit down and make a decision about the stove. So far he has been toying with electrifying a wood stove and inventing a whole new one.....There is a possibility that either choice could be dangerous....He wants to put it right next to the "Extreme Chiller". Water? Electricity? I keep telling him that they don't mix. He keeps showing me the electrically frozen water in the top of the box. At least he hasn't blown up the house or set it on fire yet......

After Tessie got the kitchen looking more like a kitchen Zar came wandering in for cappuccino. Tessie is still setting that up on the sink drain. We are going to have to find a better place for it.

Tessie dragged back the round table once again. I am going to have to build a rectangular work table that won't take up so much room. It looks like I have my work cut out for the rest of the day. I need to do the shelves next to the sink. I wonder how a shelf would look above the far window. I thought that this was going to be a large kitchen. Not so much any more.

Well.....Enough stalling. I have shelves and tables to build!

See you tomorrow.
