SMALL KITCHENS

Require some thinking outside the box ............
Areas that wouldn't normally be considered as storage quickly have hooks screwed into them ( and in some cases simply screws )


magnet bars hold things other than knives ( well there's also the fact that I'm terrified a killer will break into my home and quickly find them hanging there and then use them to kill me - but that's a story for my therapist and not you guys )


Curtain rods are used for things other than curtains


Door jambs become become a place to hang an apron or two


and doors are no longer meant as just a means to come in and out



even window knobs become a place to hang a basket


so it was just a hop - skip and a jump away from a hutch being repurposed into a pantry..........


Tucked into an alcove just before you step into the kitchen..........


We're empty nesters ( I HATE that phrase - absolutely hate it ) and we eat mostly fresh but still we needed somewhere to keep tins and cereals and such.
And our small kitchen doesn't have a pantry


Or rather it DIDN'T have one................now it does :)
The bottom section is where I'm keeping all of my baking supplies - it's just perfect for a house with a tiny kitchen.


No wait !
I take that back !
It's not perfect - perfect would be having a pantry no matter how small your kitchen is - but it's perfectly fine ..............


For now.

Have a wonderful day everyone !
Hugs,
Me

MULTI COLOR MONDAY #6


In a desperate effort to find color in a world ( my world ) that's filled to the brim with sensible neutrals - I'm dedicating one day a week to colorful vignettes that have caught my eye.

Color me Monday - have a seat !

Some of you may remember these chairs


What do you think?
PINK - TURQUOISE - YELLOW - ORANGE - GREEN AND RED?

He'll kill me -
He absolutely will...................why do I always seems to have a death wish?

Have a wonderful colorful kind of day -
We're supposed to have a warm week so I'm hoping the view from my window is a last hurrah -
AND I'm praying for you all that your outside does NOT look like this

Yes - it's snowing - do you understand why I'm a little obsessed with color right now???


Dear God - how depressing................and almost impossible to believe that this is on its way

Kisses,
