New space

It's no secret that our kitchen is not my favorite space in the house!  We have 1 and 1/2 drawer---it's crazy.  However, I am blessed to have a willing and able husband.  I can say that "I'd like a counter about this high with some shelves to go right here" and VOILA~~~~


...some redwood, screws, nails,and paint did the trick (and my hubby's muscles and labor)



After adding some hooks for the pot holder/ovenmitts, it will be finished!  It allows more counter space near the stove and sink.  As you can see, some of our favorite appliances have a new home:)
I love it!

And, we hung a knife magnet on the wall---getting our knives out of the silverware drawer!  Now, I don't have to cringe when someone enters the drawer for a spoon:)
YAY!
