Beating a dead horse

Just so you don't think we keep our kitchen uncluttered, here's the reality. Once the appliances were back in place, we repopulated the space with our stuff. Lots of utensils, pans, and other things hanging from the racks. It's a jungle in there. And yes, we use it all.

The reality of the kitchen. I have plans to re-do it all. Later.

I'm very happy, so far, with the new dishwasher. It is quieter and, because it's new, it looks a lot cleaner. The interior configuration is different, so we're working on figuring out the best way to load it. We should all have such problems, n'est-ce pas ?

UPDATE: By the way, this is proof that Ken and I don't coordinate with each other before we blog. I took this photo and wrote this post on Friday afternoon, then scheduled it to publish this morning. When I looked at Ken's blog this morning, I noticed that he wrote the same post, albeit with more than one photo. But his first one is pretty much the same as this one.
