i WANNA live there Wednesday # 153

Good morning everyone !

We're back in Montreal this week - my last neighborhood :)

A STEAL !
For the neighborhood - the proximity to downtown - the size
A STEAL !

1.145.000
12 rooms
5 bedrooms
4 baths
Year built 1921
REALTOR -   BRIAN DUTCH


Loving the leaded glass !


And this entry way?  With a fireplace !  What a gorgeous " welcome "





Oh my gosh - that built in !!!













An office with a corner fireplace and a radiator would be a dream for me


Basement/playroom/t.v. room



Another office  ( for John because I need that other one upstairs ) the best kind of dreams are the ones that almost feel real, right?



Hope you all have a wonderful Hump day - the week's half over !
Hugs
Me

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
