When we moved into our rental cottage, there was a row of cabinets with heavy, dark, wooden doors, and a short, narrow counter attached underneath. I removed the cabinet doors to open up the small kitchen (as per #marthastewart ), and my landlord removed
When we moved into our rental cottage, there was a row of cabinets with heavy, dark, wooden doors, and a short, narrow counter attached underneath. I removed the cabinet doors to open up the small kitchen (as per #marthastewart ), and my landlord removed the counter at my request. I replaced it with a free-standing #butcherblock counter that I got for $15 from a yard sale, two old stools salvaged from my parents basement, and a short press-board bookshelf on wheels that I painted white and topped with a scrap of butcher block from my parents house. We now have storage in metal bins and baskets in the bookshelf/rolling island, and extra counter space for cooling racks or volunteer choppers, seating for hanging out in the kitchen ( #inevitable ), and plenty of space to functionally display our dishes. #DIY #yardsale #secondhand #upcycle #cubbies #openshelving #kitchenideas #tinyhouse #storagesolutions #counterspace #prettykitchen #vintagekitchen
