Kitchen Clean Up and Reorganization

The bathroom renovation will not be done until next week. But we just completed some minor updates to the kitchen in our tiny condo - backsplash, faucet, and a light fixture with a dimmer switch. The entire floor of the unit was resurfaced with ceramic tile that looks like wood, except we left the kitchen floor as is. Yesterday we cleaned up the windows inside and out, and polished up the appliances. The wood cabinets do need some touching up, but that's not happening in this phase. So the next best thing is to clean out the cabinets, clean up the surfaces on the inside, and throw out whatever is no longer needed. This is the beginning of another great purge since we moved here from the Midwest eleven years ago. Things have a way of accumulating regardless of where you live and the size of the house. So we intend to go room by room and toss anything that we haven't used within the last year or two, and organize things in a way that makes sense. For those items that still have a life - just not with us - we will donate to a few folks who are happy to take them off our hands. I've got plenty of Grip Premium liner to cover all the shelves. I am hoping we can keep things tidy and neat for another eleven years.
