  Dinner Is A Crock: The Kitchen Renovation

  Posted on by Valerie in Uncategorized.

  Thank you for following my kitchen renovation, week by week! If you started following from the beginning, you might remember my boring almond and oak colored kitchen.  Actually, you probably don’t.

  Renovation, Week One: Demolition

  Posted on by Valerie in Kitchen Renovation.

  I cook. I am not a trained cook, but it’s my favorite thing to do for my family, my friends and my fans.  I just needed a better place to do it all. But my kitchen– well, it was still circa 1985 with a laminate countertop, too little cabinet space and not enough storage. This is […]
