My family was in the middle of remodelling our kitchen when Covid-19 hit the US. Because of restrictions on construction during the first few weeks, the construction was walled off and we had to move our fridge and some appliances into the living room. This is a photograph of the "kitchen" set up that we used for three months while the construction on our house was halted.
