We had a space with no cabinet to fit between the microwave and refrigerator so we decided to put some open shelves up. We had to buy some brackets at THD for around $25. Of course we had scrap lumber from the cabinets and in the miscellaneous stash that we have in the garage. I can't remember if I included the cost of the stain in an earlier blog, but if I forgot, I'll add that later. We still need to put the cabinet above the fridge, but we are going to work on that tomorrow. We also still need to finish the backsplash tiles, but we need to borrow a wet-saw again this weekend. For some reason, we still have not ordered a replacement for the door that THD damaged. We were there yesterday, but we thought maybe we would order something different and so . . . here we are. We have been managing to stay busy though on a bunch of other stuff. This kitchen is going to be super functional for me. That is why I wanted to put the shelf up, to keep all my supplies close to the stove. I also decided that I liked the hanging cupboard for can goods, etc. Nothing gets lost in the deep back space of the closet style. I had to rearrange things (again). I am including a shot so you can see what I mean. I am also showing you, the little hanging place Matt made for my broom and mop (I say "my" broom and mop, because I am the only one who uses those two things). That was the best angle I could get a shot from. Matt also built me a little shelf under the window so I could put some plants on. Much more little stuff to do! Can't wait until the final before,after pics!! I am tired so I will have to proof-read this tomorrow. I am sure my grammar and math are off. OHHH and I love, love, love my new dishwasher. I never knew my dishes could be so sparkling clean. I guess the old one didn't really work as well as i gave it credit for.
