One of the downfalls of my tiny shack in the woods is I have NO counter space. None. The little I do have is taken up by the microwave, toaster and dish drying rack. The space next to my stove is about a 2 feet wide and currently the home of my crock of cooking utensils, the tea maker, the coffee maker and the blender.
Space is at a premium.
Today I was looking through the IKEA catalog and saw this...
OMG! It's a whole SYSTEM of ways to hang stuff on your walls instead of on the counter!
Am I the only person who has never thought of this before? It's BRILLIANT! Kitchen organization is not something I devote a whole lot of brain power too. And the idea of being able to hang stuff on the walls instead of on my counters is a freakin' awesome idea and excites me more than I care to admit to.
Of course there is no IKEA in Tallahassee because anything fun is not allowed within 50 miles of the city limits.
I was really surprised at the organizational side of IKEA. I think of IKEA as cheaply made boxes with names I can't pronounce. I'm not into a lot of sleek, modern furniture. I prefer stuff that looks a little more substantial, something I'm not going to slide off of. Something like this...
Purrrr.... this can come live at my house any time. I'm much more a Restoration Hardware girl. My stuff's gotta have character and curves, no hard lines for me.
But... once the cash flow gets a little more...uh....flowing?... I might actually put some time and effort into better utilizing the space that I have instead of using the top of the coffemaker to rest my pot stirrin' spoon.
Thank you IKEA.
In news that might interest someone other than me... I leave for State Finals tomorrow! Ahhh 5 days of barrel racing. Can't wait!
Bubba got 'Sherrie-d' on Saturday. His sacrum was out but his stifles did not read as sore. I guess we just overdid it a little last week. I haven't ridden him since just in case I did screw something up. So he should be well-rested and ready to buck me off.
See ya in Kissimmee!
