Chances are, if you’ve got something people really want to know about, no matter how terrible the picture is, you’ll get quite a few people coming by to see you.

So welcome to my kitchen!This is a large, typical old farmhouse kitchen.

The house itself is about 115 years old and the kitchen addition was added on about 80 years ago.The current kitchen is the result of a renovation about 16 years ago.The golden oak cabinets aren’t really my thing, but the previous home owners definitely did a great job of making this a cozy and functional kitchen and they didn’t cheap out on things like good quality hardware and cabinetry.

Things like the built in spice cupboard are just little details, but they make me happy..I have dreams of a big white kitchen with new hardwood floors, extra cabinet space on the other side of the room, and maybe some butcher block counters too.

Since this is supposed to be my dream kitchen, I’m leaning towards getting some professionals in to do the big jobs really well, and that of course comes with a price tag.

Since that’s not going to be happening any time soon, I’ve found some ways to make myself feel more at home in this kitchen that is so not me..All you have to do is remove the little peel back tab on the top of the lid and place the bottle upside down in the bottom rack of your dishwasher..

When I saw the bottle on my grocery store shelf, I was curious as to why it was shaped that way.I put it in the dishwasher and realized that it’s perfectly sized to fit right in one of the plate holders!

I appreciate little things like that.🙂 When the bottle is in place, close the door and run your dishwasher on its hottest setting.
