New Kitchen Shelves

When we returned from our Christmas trip in Colorado we had unanticipated cargo. Tess’ Dad bestowed upon us the privilege of first dibs on his pile of misfit tools.  It could quite possibly be the most practical, useful, and best (unexpected) Christmas present ever.

When we got home I got right down to cleaning up the tools to a new luster. I turned our small shed into the workshop space I have always wanted, complete with tabletop space and a vice(!), and we got to work! It couldn't have come at a better time, as we have projects lining up. Tess and I love to build custom furniture and we have had a few ideas in mind since we moved in.

First on the list was this awkward space in the kitchen where we had a cheap metal shelf.

  We came up with an idea for custom shelves and made it happen.

Here is the finished product!

And this is what the full corner looks like now. (We put up the pot rack too.)

Stay tuned for future projects!
