We are still figuring out where everything goes, but I’ve been asked a few questions about the kitchen.

This is what it looks like as you walk in from the front door. The island sure turned out big. I can’t reach the middle from anywhere without standing on a bar stool rung. I’ve cracked my head on the pendants a couple of times coming back up. I’ll figure it out.

In this picture there is sure a lot of clutter on that counter… But there is a lot of counter space!

It really is a convenient kitchen to work in. And there is a lot of storage. I don’t know what is exactly going where yet, but it’s all stashed behind doors.

I ended up getting the Corian Simplicity 881P. It is 9 1/4″ deep.

I bought it for the bathroom, but it is small.
I love the little mat. It is memory foam, very soft. I don’t know how it will stand up, but it was inexpensive.

The cabinets over the fridge leave enough room for our chip baskets from the cabin.

My sister-in-law bought us the bull cookie jar as a housewarming gift. It’s still taped closed… The dog cookies are in the Ikea cookie jar by Alexa.
![So, this is the kitchen... - Our New Kitchen - Getting Settled – Project Small House](https://i0.wp.com/www.projectsmallhouse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/kitchen-6.jpg?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1)
So, this is it! Getting moved in. We still feel like we are in a hotel or something.
![We haven't installed the under-cabinet lighting by the stove yet. - Our New Kitchen - Getting Settled – Project Small House](https://i0.wp.com/www.projectsmallhouse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/kitchen-7.jpg?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1)
We have under-cabinet lighting to put in yet, but the three recessed lights give plenty of lighting.
