Soon I'll too be yearning for thenewgreen's kitchen. I close on selling my house on the 13th. No joke, we have the most kick ass kitchen I've ever been in in a private residence. I've been on some good ones too, they just aren't as cool on a practical level. I'll go in to more detail on why/how we sold our house soon but we are definitely downgrading when it comes to kitchens. I should make some "humanodon sauce" while I can.
If it makes you feel any better, I finally finished putting in the tile in my kitchen… …for the tenants. Me? I just put a microwave in for my landlady because she was so enamored of the vent hood she put in she saw no reason why a 6x8 kitchen might need to maximize counter space. And did I mention that our rent down here is almost exactly double what our mortgage is in Seattle?
