I am in Louisville, at my sister’s place. The commitment ceremony between her and her partner is tomorrow. The place is looking sweet as can be, even if the stress levels are a bit higher than normal. They are well organized and on task. All you sharply scheduled, organization freaks out there would be proud. They have done a ton-load of work on the house since I was here last (a year ago Christmas, I think)…
A ton-load.
I walked into the kitchen and realized that I need to take photos to share with all you foodies out there. It’s a porn set for food prep. Hot.
The appliances are all GE’s monogram series; top stuff. A fortunate advantage to my sister’s years at GE in various positions. The delivery happened just minutes before she announced her departure. *whew* This detail is the controls of the gas stovetop. The oven, around the corner, is the lowest appliance in the kitchen at mid thigh; certainly a nice feature from my viewpoint of the world.
Above the stove is the Advantium oven; a sweet thing. It combines confection cooking with microwave. I believe that part is powered by halogen bulbs of all things. What it means to me…? I can nuke left-over pizza and get crispy crust!!! That what I’m talking about…
When I first learned they were installing dark cabinets with light wood floors, I was skeptical, but – damn! – this space looks incredible. The room needs the light wood floor. The large arcadia door brings tons of light into to reflect off of it and brighten all the dark features.
Black stone counters work with the black features of the stainless appliances. Red is the accent color. of course, this is my sister I’m talking about. Of course, I think the red Kitchenaide countertop stuff is the sexiest kinda red I may have ever seen.
The refrigerator is monstrous; a built-in Sub-Zero style, still in the GE Monogram line. For referrence, i would say each door is four feet wide.
When is comes to window treatments, it is handy beyond belief to have a drapery-maker for a mother. Just saying…
(And, yes, the gay brother had to re-space all the tabs evenly… What for the OCD thing to reappear later in the post.)
Yeah, the queer biscotti..? Pretty sure it’s the take-away sweet for the ceremony tomorrow.
So, back to the OCD. Jen…? That’s my sister’s partner. She has the OCD is a very solid manner. She is the cleanest of clean-freak. I adore that! This morning I walked into the kitchen and there she was… I *squeeeeeeeee*d aloud. For real.
What was she doing to garner such a reaction, you may ask…?
This is her, my soon-to-be sister-in-law. If you can’t make it out, she is using a touch-up pen on the woodwork.
I know! ZOMGs! I love her! I am so blinkin’ happy to be is such a gay family. We almost match the heteros in the group one-to-one. How sweet is that? Oh! Here’s another LOl moment. Some time last year, i posted about my sister’s divorce and coming-out, making us a 2-for-3 family. Everyone questions the oldest, even though I am of a mind that she just never had a need to develop sexually one way or the other.
So, back to point: Jen has two siblings as well, one brother and one sister. The sister is also gay. Another 2-for-three family! Her comment about it…?"My brother is afraid to wake up in the morning…" LMAO. I love her!
