Cabinets and Storage, Thoughts, and Treats
I have no
counter space.
I tried keeping my meds
in the cabinet ~ I hated digging
them out.
Put in pill containers ~ I hate
taking the time to
do that.
I rather open what I need when
I need it but I hated
them taking up space
on my counter.
I had a curtain rod I had picked
up at some point at GW for
1.99.
I bought some brackets, and
some wire baskets.
Secured the rod to the wall
under the cabinets and above
the counter. Tied the baskets
on and BAM...
more storage for my meds.
They are within reach and out
of the way.
Speaking of baskets....I really
should have removed the
ones of top of the fridge before
taking this pic, but hey, that
would have required more of
an effort.
Anyway, I wanted to share my
space. By the way, who uses
those two tiny cabinets above
the fridge?
It is a tad easier to get to the
small ones above the stove
so I store seasonal glasses
and cups, my filters for the
Brita and things like that up
there.
But you see those cabinets. Not a lot
of storage. The narrow one over
by the window is one that goes back
behind the other one, so things
get pushed back and you have
to search. Course the ones above
the store is for seasonal stuff.
That leaves the two between
the stove and window.
The other one of the side of
stove holds my oils, baking stuff,
coffee and teas.
I have really less under the counter.
I do store my pots and pans
under the sink. the two
corner ones go WAY back there,
I store instant pot and junk in
there. Then there are the drawers.
ALL OF MY COUNTER!
No dishwasher so there is a drainer
and I do NOT dry dishes and put
them away. The drainer is for the
items to drain and dry! lol
Here are my thoughts~
I know, scary huh?
If you look at the pics above you
will see the fridge is to the
right of the window and sink.
I plan on moving it across the
room. A dishwasher needs to go
there.
I want to remove the wall where
I hung the baskets. On the other
side of that is my dining area.
I hope to reuse my cabinets by
placing them differently.
The stove will move down to
about where the wall I want
to remove is.
On the other side of the plank wall
is the other wall of my kitchen.
See how I have had to make
more storage?
Anyway, I don't care to have my
kitchen and living room
open to each other but
I will be fine with the kitchen
and dining.
I do not have a table in the kitchen
cause it is so small.
But with removing that wall
I will have more space.
With that said,
Looking at this pic again,
I am going to have a closet
built where the shelve is in this
pic.
Why? Well, my washer and dryer
is directly below that space
in the basement. I have to go down
those 14 stairs, out into the garage, step
up into the basement and around
the opening under those stairs, back
into a cubby to do laundry.
In that closet, I want to install
the washer and dryer. Hook ups should
be easy with them right below that
space. Going to purchase the
stackable type and then I will
also have room for a pantry.
I know, reading all this is
confusing since you really
can't see what I am
talking about.
But....I hope to start on
all that soon.
NO!
I am not doing the work.

YAY....mom remembered
to pick up treats for
Lily and I.
We hate the last of the treats
last night and mom knew she
better not forget.
Lily likes treats but she
don't ask for them, I will!
When mom is in a different
room I will come and walk
around her legs, thrilling
till she gets me my treats.
My thrills go meows when
she ask me do I want some
treats and she makes me
say mama before I get mine.
I LOVE TREATS!
