Solutions

We have issues at TO(M)H. Those issues are storage. Basically, we have very little. Currently, this is most noticeable in our kitchen. Every cabinet is completely full. We have our good dishes stacked on top of our fridge (an accident waiting to happen.)



The counters hold food and appliances. Some things have found a home on the floor, or the window sill, or the basement. All the liquor and cookbooks are in the dining room.

We solved some of the problems with a pot rack. At least it opened up space for the blender, food processor, etc. in our one under countertop cabinet. I totally LOVE our potrack. It makes my life easier, and it looks cool.


Recently we solved our recycling/herb growing problem with a thingy from Ikea's Children's Department.


Yesterday we had delivered another solution.

(please ignore the unfinished wall/mantle, that's our next project)


Isn't it cool?

We can move some of the glasses, barware, and odds and ends into it. We moved the liquor and wine out of the dining room. We can condense down to one cabinet for dishes and have more room for the important things, like food.

One more piece of furniture, something to hold our good dishes, and we will have a functioning kitchen. I just can't wait.

Nice pot rack. Where did you find it?

Pot rack is from Crate and Barrel. We love it.

always a good plan to move the liquor to the living room--you won't even need to leave the room to get another drink.
