Week Two – wrap up

Last week was crrrraaazzzyy for me (midterms, going away for the weekend) but I’m happy to say that I have caught up!

things accomplished:

Clean the kitchen
     -organized the cabinets (this didn’t amount to much since I keep my cabinets pretty ship-shape)
     -cleaned countertops
     -cleaned stove (for the first time in months! yuck)
     -found a home for the new waffle maker
     -cleared things out I don’t use (like the expresso machine that I’ll try to sell online)

Buy a water filter – already had this! We would die without our filter, we drink a ton of water.

Make use of Outbox – done.

Buy fresh flowers – rununkulas!

Determine your style – We took the style survey last time around and it was pretty fun. I might classify our style as “mid-century vintage classy thrift ecclectic” Yup. basically I just buy whatever I love and see how the room evolves.

Cook at home – I do this all the time (okay okay, a little less since this semester started) and made a yummy pasta dish last week: alfredo sauce, fettucini, turkey meatballs and brocolli.

and now some pictures of my lovely clean kitche:

Why yes, I purposely cropped out my sink of dirty dishes Dishes are boyfriends job.

a CLEAN stove! Black stoves are so hard to keep clean!!
Complaints aside, I love the stove because it is brand spanking new. Dish towel is from Ikea, print from Etsy, and spoon rest glazed by moi.
