Now that the floors are done curing, the reconfiguration of Steve's and my kitchen is underway.
First, our new wagon was put to the test transporting boxes containing our future cabinetry:
Adding eight medium-duty rubber non-marking casters to three Ikea base cabinets, Steve and I created a mobile kitchen peninsula. Even when fully loaded, the peninsula glides very smoothly, but requires enough effort to begin rolling that it doesn't move unbidden.

One advantage of this arrangement is that we can adjust the size of the galley kitchen portion to accommodate guests in our soon-to-be-created dining section (nifty adjustable-size table is on order and we've been shopping for chairs). It'll be cozy, but we should be able to accommodate small gatherings.
I spent a joyful evening arranging the drawers. I love that kind of thing. Sampling of my handiwork:
Yes, all of our glassware fits in those two (open) leftmost drawers. The other drawers contain everything from pyrex dishes to cookie sheets to aluminum foil. All neatly arranged, which makes me very happy.
Yeah, I'm a super exciting person. It's true. More super exciting things to come.
