Utility...worthy of Front Covers

The utility room. Yes, just a place to do laundry and other odd assortments of things. However, since this is a Texas ranch home, it is also worthy of special stature as a cool place for Bill to prepare his various hunting rewards for everyone's dining pleasure.

So, the utility room ceiling is lined in antique tin and the walls are cut cedar from the area. As the rest of the goodies arrive, everyone will see that this room IS worthy of any story on wild utility rooms!

It's beginning to look...

From empty...to WOW

Just a few days ago I said to remember the shot, it would not be the same again. Boy, was that a true statement. I now feel confident storage space is just fine!

The group to the left will soon have cabinets overhead. The group in the forefront is where the bar will be - probably the most used seat in the house. It will also be where the dishwasher and sink is. The island in between the two is, well, turning out to be much bigger than I thought originally - which is fine! I have plenty to store! The far wall, with the set back area, is where the stove, oven, etc. will be housed. I guess now I'll have to cook again! I've had a great excuse for the last two years - "can't find my stuff in the storage building," "this kitchen has no counter space to work," "this oven doesn't cook evenly."

Well, 6 weeks to the NO EXCUSE ZONE

Ah, THAT is where it goes!

As the carpentry team makes headway, the kitchen and other rooms are beginning to take shape.

NOW, I can see where things are going to be, and in some cases that is a different thing than where I thought they'd be!
