The Kitchen & "Playroom"

Slowly, we are coming together. I'll post rooms of the house as they are finished.

First up, the kitchen. Man, I love having space. I actually have empty cabinets. Empty. Plus, I put anything that could stab, poison, suffocate, or shatter in the upper cabinets so that I don't have to mess with childproof latches on the bottom. (This wouldn't have been an option in my old digs, when it was challenge enough simply to find a place, any place, for the food processor.)

As for the playroom, this is the "eat-in" part of the kitchen. Since the dining room is three feet away, and intimate enough for every-meal use, I didn't see the point in setting up a kitchen table. Instead, I got some cheap cabinets to store all his toys and set up a play area. This has kept Peter from hanging on me during meal preparation. And, when I have a crawler under my feet again, it will be handy that I can close off the kitchen doors to prevent escape.
