When Granny Girl came to visit, we (meaning mostly she) revamped my kitchen. Lots of dishes washed from the last two boxes to be unpacked. We attempted to hang a bookshelf as storage out of Ladybug's reach. Unfortunately, we bought the wrong sized brackets so it's now floor storage. Fortunately, it allowed me to move a few things around and make everything more organized and Coondog can use the brackets to hang me sturdier (and bigger!) shelves in the near future.
See the red shelves below? That's my new bookcase/low storage. I'm currently storing cookbooks, a lunchbox, and Ladybug's kitchen supplies. She likes to cook with me. She screws the lid to the empty peanut butter jar off and on, she pours imaginary things from one bowl to another and adds seasoning with her empty pepper shaker. When she's really lucky, she gets to put her bowls under the faucet while I wash dishes and pour water from one to another. Oh, how happy she is when I let her play in water!
The other side of my kitchen holds my fridge and beloved hoosier cabinet. Ladybug sits on this while we cook together. It's deep enough that she can sit at the back with her legs fully extended and her feet still don't reach the edge. Give the kid a measuring spoon and a bowl of flour and she's happy for as long as you will leave her there. She's completely flour covered by the end of it but she doesn't mind so I don't either.
The floors in these pics are actually clean. They're covered in drywall mud. It's slowly wearing off. Someday I will attack it with a scraper and hope the floor and I both survive. It's not the flooring I would have chosen but I've found that it has its advantages. Can you see the spilled pasta, chip crumbs and cheese bits below?
Neither can I. :)
