Silver thinks life is like a bowl of strawberries.
We remodeled the kitchen at the office this week. It all started Tuesday when I removed the cabinets in the storeroom so we could move the cabinets from the kitchen to the storeroom. Jake and I took out the lower cabinets in the kitchen and installed them in the storeroom, and then replaced the hot water shut-off in the kitchen. The new kitchen cabinets were installed on Wednesday. I installed a new, deeper sink and a new dishwasher. We have a new kitchen at the office.

Spunk: “Life ain’t no stinking bowl of strawberries. It’s more like a stinking bowl of birdies!”

Good job on the office kitchen improvements, particularly the coffee bar! I’m going with Silver on the life metaphor. (Don’t tell Spunk.)
Spunk’s a catmudgeon. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim. 🙂
Trust Spunk to coin a new word.
He’s pretty good at that.
🙂
Looking good, those kitties and the strawberries too. Yum.
Thanks, Holly.
I need a kitchen renovation 😉 but wow what great a picture this morning! Your cat looks so adorable
Thanks, Becky.
Smart to repurpose the old cabinets in the storeroom. You have less cabinets in the kitchen, though 😉
It’s strawberry season here! Oh Spunk!
More cabinets with the cabinets under the coffee bar. Thanks, Dale.
I figured that was the replacement…
The prior coffee bar was only a table. Now it has cabinets under it.
Yes, I saw that. 😁
When we moved in the tall fridge we had downstairs didn’t fit under the cabinet. Since the shorter fridge was still needed in the downtown office for a few months before we could move everyone into the building, we bought a new fridge for the kitchen. We asked for the shorter cabinets over the fridge and sink in the remodel. I have a ratcheting paper towel dispenser coming in Monday to go under the cabinet over the sink.
Ahhh… Now that makes sense! You guys have a really nice setup. Offices and kitchen and the whole shebang. They are lucky to have you!
The old dishwasher was worn out. We tested the new dishwasher yesterday and it got all the dishes sparkling clean. Even white cups that have had coffee and tea stains for years.
Isn’t that a most satisfying thing?
WOW – a great remodeling job, Tim. I see that Spunk and Silver are on their best behavior!!!
Silver more than Spunk. Thanks, Rebecca.
Nice remodel and beautiful photos!
Thanks, Michele.
Nice job done ! Now, enjoy the weekend 🙂
Thanks, Rudi.
AND you still found time to take some photos. Nice work all round Timothy.
I was barely in my right mind to remember to take photos. Thanks, Shey.
Well you did. must have been alot of work doing this.
I did so much work to make it as easy for the installers to do their job. I be’d the plumber which was no fun at all. Wednesday was crazy. I worked 10 hours without time to eat. I was really worn out when I got home.
That’s hell of a lot. It looks great. Well done.
How are your projects going?
Abso insanity here with rehearsals. We don’t have premises which is one of the reasons I packed all this in 30 years ago. But we do get free rehearsal tim int Verdant Works. The only prob is that there’s an exhibition in the mill itslef where the play will be , so that means that 12 bags of props and god knows how many placards get unloaded in the car park every sat morning at some ridi time and we all march like ants round to the museum , then up five flights of staris with them to the weaver’s room, with them. Then we have a two hour window before we march back with them all again. Yes we rehearse here too but it is crazy…… . Quite intense in taht we all play umpteen parts, sometimnes back to back and did I add there’s no backstage on thiis play
Job well done! Great repurposing. I hope you rest during the weekend!
Yes, Silver! Spunk…. that look!
Oh, no! The balloon holding the Moon burst!
I like that you see a moon burst. I’ve already been out cutting back bamboo this morning. We have black bamboo gone wild. Your Incognito Tree has pears. Actuall all our fruit trees have fruit this year. Since I feel like I’m going nuts, It going to be a summer of fruits and nuts. Thanks, Marina.
No rest?!!!!!
Good to hear about the pears and the fruit.
No fruits here, just NUTS!!!! 🤣
We get a lot of fruits and nuts from California.
Remodels are always fun. Nice water-color effect on the sky photo.
Remodels are only fun in a sarcastic way of thinking about them. I hate working on them, especially when I be the plumber, but they have to be done. Thanks, Brad.
Yes, things like that are not fun to have to do, but I envy your skill set, Tim. You are a Jack of All Trades.
Cats, roses and strawberries. All good things from Timlandia.
Thanks, Lavinia.
wow, that looks great Tim. So fast too. Life is a bowl of birdies alright for the kitties! 💞
Thanks, Cindy.
You’re welcome Tim! ❤️
Transforming spaces is fun. Looks great.
Thanks, Jeff.
You’ve been busy. You can install our new washer/dryer combo in the main barn tack room, if you like. 😉
I believe you are perfectly capable of doing the installation. I wouldn’t want to deprive you of the experience. 🤪 Thanks, Deborah.
Very nice updates to the office kitchen.
I like seeing the kitties… I’m off to get some strawberries. 😃
Enjoy your strawberries.
Seems like you’ve been busy with the office remodels. I’m with Spunk – life ain’t no bowl of strawberries because I don’t like strawberries. I’d rather have a bowl of chicken or turkey myself.
Spunk said you are a wise woman. Bowls of chicken and turkey count as bowls of birdies. Thanks, JYP.
Silver looks like he wants to eat a strawberry.
I’ve always called that mark on Spunkie-Poo’s 💋 nose a strawberry. So cute!
Nice work kitchen reno.
It pays to have a good snack room in the office! xx
Thanks, Resa.
Whoa, whoa there Spunky, I think you mean a bowl of mousies ….I know you don’t want to hurt the little birdies. Nice job on the renovations!
Spunk is alliterate and meant a bowl of birdies, at least metaphorically meowing. Thanks, Brian.
Well done in the office Tim! Spunk looks a tad grumpy … give him a pat from me
Spunk can be a crank, especially when Silver is getting attention. Thanks, Julie.
