What's cookin'?

A potential kitchen renovation is what! We've been back and forth with a kitchen designer and I think we're getting ready to do this. Are we crazy? The plan is to tear down the wall between the kitchen and dining room and add a peninsula counter.

I can't tell you how much I'm dying for bar stools! When we have people over, everyone always wants to hang out in the kitchen, and with our current set-up, there's really nowhere for people to congregate.

The other thing I'm excited about is moving our computer desk out of the family room and into the kitchen/dining room area. I like the idea having a desk near the kitchen where Molly can do homework while we're cooking dinner. And it will also free up some much-needed space in our family room.

We're still finalizing the plans, but this should end up being the basic layout. I imagine it will take a few months to get the permits and figure out the cabinets, etc, but the ball is officially rolling!
