8 Random Things About My Kitchen

I have been tagged by Andrea to post 8
random things about my kitchen.

1. We have the loudest 70's lime green and yellow daisy wall paper. Shown here:

My mother in law swore when we moved in that she would change it and paint the kitchen whatever color I wanted, and that has not happened yet.

2. As you can see in this photo, I love Classic Pooh. I have towels, I have trivets, I even had a cookie jar that looked just like the Pooh his nose in the honey pot trivet up above, but Travis broke it. Twice. Sadly, it is time for a new cookie jar.

3. I love all things Americana. I got the giant apple serving piece that is on the wall at Apple Farm in SLO. Once I have painted my kitchen the colors I want to, my kitchen will have an Americana theme.

4. We have two full sized refrigerators in our kitchen. Our house came with one and a family friend gave us their practically brand new one when they were moving. They gave it to us right before Thanksgiving, and because we had so much food and drink to store for Thanksgiving for 20 people, it came in handy. We keep them both plugged in because we need the freezer space for meat from Costco. Someday, I will just buy a separate freezer and let go of one of the
fridges. But for now we have our everyday fridge and the "entertaining" fridge.

5. We have a trash compactor. While this is not normally noteworthy, it is always a drama when he have Trav's family over because we keep the dogs' kibble in two small trashcans with a lid and our recycling in a trash can with a lid. Travis's uncle and cousin James have not learned in the two years that we have been living here that trash does not go into the recycling or dog food.

6. I have red appliances. Travis bought me a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer after I hounded him for years while we were dating. So when we got married, I registered for and received all of the matching appliances.

7. I am anal about my Tupperware storage. Everyone I know has a drawer with all of their ziplock containers just thrown in willy nilly. All of mine is neatly stacked with the corresponding lids stacked on top. I can always instantly grab the properly sized container for leftovers.

8. Travis and I are a toast eating people. We always have peanut butter and jelly toast with breakfast and we are never without at least three different types of spreadable fruit in the cupboard and fridge. We currently have Strawberry, boysenberry, raspberry, and blackberry jam in the cupboard.

I tag Maggie, Kayt, and Samantha to post about their kitchens.
