Another possible solution for anyone who is still looking for an answer to this! We were smelling the fishy smell off and on in 3 rooms on our main floor (kitchen, living room and dining room). When we looked it up we found this thread with lots of helpful tips and we explored all of them, since today the smell lingered a lot more. Upon checking all of the light switches, electrical box, outlets and any of our plugged in electronics, we couldn't find the source of the smell and every outlet / switch seemed clean and cold to the touch / completely fine. We also checked out plumbing and shop vac, everything good there too. But we finally found the source. It was a Fly Jar Attractant powder that we used to refill one of the red apple-looking fly traps. We bought the power in lieu of the liquid it comes with since we couldn't find refills in our hardware store. When we got closer to the fly trap it smelt overwhelmingly like it. The product is by CATCHMASTER and it's called FLY JAR ATTRACTANT. It's non toxic and comes in a small pouch (picture attached). We just wanted to come on here and offer this as a possible solution in case someone is having the same issue and realize they use the same stuff. Thanks everyone for the helpful advice!!

Oh, all is forgiven, flyleft. I was joshing anyway, although I'd gladly forgo that particular event if not having kids meant I could - not my idea of entertainment! *chuckle* The joys of fibrobrain and pain meds and too little sleep... I just glanced back at the bit above where I said I wished the mammo tech had just taken the relevant parts off to do their thing with them and the King Missile song "Detachable P&n!s" popped into my head, although it was playing in my head as "Detachable B**bies". (Had to look that up, for some reason I thought it was Primus. Not quite my taste in music but I used to work with some chefs who played really weird stuff in the kitchen during prep time. They introduced me to They Might Be Giants - we always played "Minimum Wage" from the "Flood" album just before we opened for the day, synching turning the door key to the whipcrack - so I forgave them a lot.)

Ms. Two Little Fishies: Thank you for posting so many gorgeous photos and for chronicalling your journey. When I tell people I want to paint my exisiting kitchen cabinets yellow, they react like I've just announced that I am joining a criminal gang. Your enthusiasm, grit, and beautiful result reinforce my decision that yellow will be lovely and will make me happy. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently choosing between Barley and Traditional Yellow, so your photos of Barley are super helpful and reassuring. From one former secondary school music teacher to another, I hope you are well and happy.

I love this kitchen!! I love the character and the timelessness with so many of today's great features that we all want. I have been planning a kitchen remodel for what feels like 2 years now and my layout is very similar with the exception to the amount of space you have to the left of your double wall ovens. Thank you for all the detailed pictures as this validates a lot of my current layout choices, especially the corner of your sink wall / cooking wall where I've been back and forth 100 times and where your double ovens are located!!
