My New Toy in the Kitchen

Everybody seems to think that I will be very busy taking care of new grand kids in Florida but I think I will be able to rest there. I seem to keep taking upon projects after projects here at home. In the midst of the chaos caused by floor flooding and packing for a long trip to Florida, not to mention attending parties of friends here since they say they will miss me being gone for so long, I decided to add a lighted pot rack in the kitchen. Don't forget, I am still emptying the office cause tomorrow, they are removing the rug. I still have to disconnect all the computers and printer and have to label the cables so they can be reconnected back easily, but I am still using the computer so will have to do that later tonight. Yes, we decided to go ahead and replace the floor in here too. And so far, 7 boxes of dishes were just delivered from Fedex and were just unpacked, just to be packed in plastic bins. This is the Winter Greetings Christmas china that I just won from Ebay and there are almost 100 pieces.

Anyway, I searched and searched for something I like that would look good above the kitchen counter. Alas, I found it on Amazon and so I ordered it. It arrived yesterday so today, we asked Mitch to come and install it.

The 2 consecutive photos below are the "Before" pictures.

Wow! This picture must really be old. We did not have the TV on the brick wall yet and I still had the black hutch there.

And here is our talented electrician/handyman Mitch installing the pot rack.

It's up! I couldn't believe how closely it matched our hanging light in the breakfast nook and I did not not even try to match it. I must just be drawn to that style, huh! Do you see what I mean? I did not hang any pots yet because the only nice ones I have are Le Creuset but I am afraid they might be too heavy. Does anybody know? Oh well, I think I will search for copper ones. Don't you think copper pots and pans will look good hanging there?

In case you are wondering what that stainless steel control knob on the counter is, it is a built in system for a food processor. I have the attachments under the cabinet but I have never used them. They were there when we bought the house.

I really like how bright my cooking area is now. Maybe it will entice me to cook more often, lol.

I hope you like it as much as I do. I cannot wait to find the right pots to hang from it. I might try some that I already have, tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by. By the time this post, I will be in Florida already, maybe resting, lol.
