Love your Kitchen Week

This picture of my kitchen was taken last November. It looks pretty much the same right now, except dirtier.

I am declaring this week LOVE YOUR KITCHEN WEEK. My kitchen is in desperate need for love. I'm not talking about doing the dishes or wiping down the counters, although that might be a good place to start. I am talking about cleaning out the fridge, taking things out of the cupboards and wiping them down (I might even replace the 80's contact paper), and maybe even cleaning my oven. GASP! Okay I will probably not clean my oven because I refuse. But if you would like to join me please do. I'm starting today and will be done by Friday. Because I don't want to clean on the weekend.

***Update: Last Tuesday I cleaned out my fridge. It looked better than ever. On Wednesday I looked in there and a root beer bottle on the top shelf got to close to where the cold air comes out and broke open. Root beer is on every single shelf and pooled at the bottom of the fridge. I felt so discouraged that I was going to have to take everything out and clean it all again that I actually made NO progress in my kitchen last week. So I guess I should get on it this week.

    retile the countertop while you're at it and send the landlord a bill for the supplies.

    I finally cleaned my fridge out about a week ago after a really long time and wow it is just immaculate now! I just need to get over my procrastination problems...

    it wouldn't be hard or cost a lot. you can buy pre-mixed grout. and with the edging that is on the thing it would be so easy. plus, you could learn how on a place where if you screw up....who cares. call your LL and tell him you'll do the work.

    Wow! I am so glad I missed this. Now I have an excuse as to why my kitchen looks the way it does.

    You think your tile is bad - I have CARPET in my kitchen. I don't even want to talk about it...

    Thanks for the inspiration. I'm finally going to wipe the crusted salsa off my fridge shelves and the oodles and oodles of crumbs out of my cupboards. How do crumbs get in a cupboard that's rarely opened and only holds clean pans?
