This is what the kitchen in our current apartment (and my hand) looked like on the day that we signed our lease. Everything you see, including the combination microwave/oven sitting on top of the counter, came with the apartment. At least half of these things have been packed up and are being stored in the loft above our living room.
Last week we received the items that we had shipped from the U.S, and our apartment feels a lot more like home now that we have familiar things surrounding us.
I've been working hard to unpack and find a place for everything, and I’ve also been hunting around to fill in the gaps. We didn’t bring any baking dishes or cookie sheets, because ovens are much smaller in Paris and I suspected (correctly!) that the ones I had would not fit in whatever oven we ended up with. We also didn’t bring any kitchen appliances because of the difference in voltage between the U.S. and France. And for some reason we didn’t bring any cutting boards, but I can’t remember why.
The rest of the apartment is still far from being finished, but it feels like the kitchen is finally in good shape. Here are a few pictures of the kitchen with all of our belongings and new acquisitions put away:
