One tough thing about apartment living is the smaller kitchens and the limited counter space. I am a person who goes nuts when the counters are too cluttered. I feel like my small space just became microscopic when I have things on the counter. So with the help of my local Daiso (dollar store) and 3M with their incredible removable hooks I created a clutter free cooking area on a tiled surface. Now if I had a dry walled surface I would have used the hooks that go with the grids but you work with what you have right?
I love my life, being stationed in a different country is challenging at times but well worth it! So to get started on reinventing some of my living spaces I decided to hit up the kitchen first (considering its one of my favorite spaces). First had to come up with a color scheme since my kitchen already has a flare for grey and white I figured lets roll with that and add a touch of natural bamboo, and black. So my first project is "Our Menu" board: My inspiration came from a nifty blog called "Two In Diapers." I felt like we were eating the same old same old every two weeks and my husband never wanted to help contribute ideas on what to cook. Making this little board a genius idea, since we pull out about five meal cards, one eat out and one left over card each week. It's nice to see my husband getting excited to help plan our meals. |
