The little kitchen that could



Here's the original kitchen, in all its glory. The house is about 100 years old, and I'm sure over the course of that time this small space has gone through many changes. Certainly the funky Mexican tile was not original to the house!

At the time it didn't seem so bad. Everything was (literally) within arm's reach. Efficiency meant no counter clutter...good thing because there wasn't really a counter to speak of. The lazy susan in the corner held a *lot* of stuff. And the view was pretty, especially when Trixie chose the sit in the window.

I've attached a floor plan of the house.
