First project finished

We proudly present, drumroll please, Stacey's Garage!
Stace built all the cabinets (out of boxes) and installed the countertop. All of his tools are now neatly stowed, ready for our DIY projects.
We also put up a shelf in the kitchen, on a large bare wall. It actually frees up quite a bit of space in the cabinets and on the counter.
Another little project (which didn't photograph as clearly) I completed this week was scrubbing down the interior doors with those Magic Eraser cleaning pads. They really made a difference, though I seemed to use up one per door. The doors had all been really embarassingly dirty with crayon and pencil marks and other assorted smudges. Now they look clean, at least at first glance.
And, since we're getting more settled and I can now think about cooking, I made blueberry crumb muffins the other day, which Cora loves.
I also made a salmon stir fry, following a recipe from this great cookbook Stace's parents gave me for Christmas. It's by Brit wiz chef Jamie Oliver, and it's called Ministry of Food. It's full of simple (but brilliant) recipes to get people back to making food, mostly from scratch, in their own kitchens, instead of resorting to takeout and fast food. I highly recommend it!
