Donna began this episode in the kitchen. Flitting back and forth between counter and stove. I must say, the layout of her kitchen leaves a lot to be desired by today’s standards, but it is super cozy. I have always been a sucker for the cheery pops of color you find in a traditional 1950s kitchen.

I dream kitchens. It is truly the space I spend the most time in. Currently, I have a perfectly adequate kitchen, but its a rental and I can’t do much to it and its driving me a little crazy.

To quench my thirst for kitchen remodeling. I’ll give you this, my modernized take on a Donna-era kitchen.
