So, to all of you who have seen our kitchen in person (or in photos), notice anything different?<\/p>\n

THAT<\/strong> cabinet that has been the bane of my existence since we moved into our house. I cannot tell you how many times I have hit my head on THAT<\/strong> awkwardly placed cupboard, or how broken up our kitchen felt and looked with it hanging out right down the middle of the kitchen.<\/p>\n

So my hair-brained idea that has been stewing for a few years –\u00a0 just take the whole cabinet out. Earlier this week I started Operation Destroy Cabinet<\/strong><\/em> and cleaned the cupboard out, reorganized the kitchen so we could “live with it” for a few days to make sure we could really do without the storage…and happily I can report we don’t need the extra space!<\/p>\n

Then today, as I was prepping the trim to get a fresh coat of paint I simply thought “out loud” and my sweet husband knew that it was coming down one way or another. So he (only mildly grumbling that I waited til the END of the weekend to hint about the cabinet’s demise) set about to taking it down for me. About an hour later with a little help from Jeff, we have an incredible open and spacious kitchen.<\/p>\n

Addie is excited because when the girls help me bake we can all work and not be crowded under the cabinet. I’m excited because I can see out my the windows when I’m in the kitchen – I can see from one end to the other! And…no more cranking my head.
