We are in the beginning stages of making our living room ( a large 16 x 20 room) into a professional kitchen for our catering business, Dewings Catering & Confections. That means our living room will be in the slightly smaller front room (15 x 17) and our school/sewing room will be in the guest room (10 x 10). The guest bed was moved up to the girls room yesterday. And today, we will concentrate of moving the rest of the furniture around.
This is an idea we have thrown around for sometime. Now that we feel the Lord is giving us the “green light” on starting a catering business, it seems logical to do this. Okay, so maybe for most people it wouldn’t logical. But we are not your average family and since our goal is to make the business a family business, it makes sense (since we can) to put your “work space” in your house. Right? Our living room has a door leading to it from the rest of the house (since it was an add on about 90 years ago), so it would pass inspection for that. That was not a type-o, by the way. Our house is 100 years old. It also has a door leading to the outside, which it would have to have for a inspect-able kitchen. Not to mention the fact that it is a large room.
I will be updating as things go on. Even with all the renovations we have done on this house (about $20,000 worth!), I’m looking forward to this project! The only bummer is that we have already put a couple thousand into this room and now we will be completely redoing it again. Oh well. Such is life.
By the way, if you happened to drive by our house yesterday and you saw a very awkward, pregnant lady on the roof of her porch, attempting to drag a mattress, box spring and frame into a window,..yeah that was me. All is well. I didn’t fall off or anything. Of course, I didn’t stray very far from the window. But still…. And I must note that this kitchen idea was Adam’s, not mine. It seems he’s catching a bit of that wind himself.
