Already posted pictures of the small kitchen in my older home, but I thought it might be fun to show these pics, too. We have a condo with a very small kitchen -- I don't know its measurements but it feels about the same size as my 9 x9 kitchen at home. It's sorely lacking in storage. We did an economical sprucing of the room, keeping the original white wood-grained formica cabinets and formica countertops ("butcher block" pattern) but changed the hinges and knobs. Other improvements were new appliances from the local Sears' scratch & dent place, tile floor, and wallpaper. Wallpapers are closeouts that we got a great price on. There wasn't enough of the blue paper to to do the whole room, so we found a yellow that coordinated. Curtains haven't been changed yet. We have a retro thing going on in the place, so it's just a fun kitchen. Nothing like the beautiful renovations shown on this thread, but thought I'd include it for variety. I've enjoyed seeing all the wonderful kitchens here. I agree with the poster who said this is one of the prettiest threads. I think I actually prefer a smaller kitchen! Tina

Rainbow's End and Pierce the Veil by Bob Adamov. These are just mysteries that take place on the island I came from in Lake Erie. Birdman of Alcatraz:the Story of Robert Stroud by Thomas Gaddis I thought of another one but it slipped my mind already :0(((((

I think there is a difference between writers we don't enjoy and a book being over-rated. I think some of Picoult's work is OK, really didn't like others, but I don't think her over-rated. She has a moderate audience but doesn't sell in the amounts that others do, particularly a lot of the sci-fi authors. There are many books I haven't liked that others have - The Secret History leaps to mind to mind. I thought it a load of codswallop, but I have yet to find anyone to agree with me *g* However, I wouldn't call it over-rated. JMHO of course.
