Today’s Installation, originally uploaded by katatak.

After a year & a half (Ken & Les were with us when we bought it), we decided to put up this Ikea shelf in our kitchen. And after a trip back to Ikea to exchange it for one that had all the right pieces (we don’t have much luck with this), we finally did put it up. Sooo wishing we’d done this earlier! By hanging some pots & pans and using the shelf above, we’ve been able to clear cabinet and counter space enough to bring several appliances into the kitchen where they belong (I swear I’ll use the Kitchenaid more if I don’t have to lug it from the back closet out to the kitchen every time!)

Just off to the left is now officially the coffee/tea/snackies station, so there’s even hooks on the shelf up there to hang each of our favorite  mugs (my Pooh one is in the dishwasher).
