More DIY home stuff

I love my apartment. I know I've said that before but I really do. One of the very few things that bother me about it, however, is the lack of counter space in the kitchen. It's always the problem with apartment kitchens. I have a very cute kitchen, with the original cabinetry and an old stove, yellow tiles and light blue/turquoise accents. But the counter space is lacking.

So, I have taken steps to increase my counter space. I got a couple of butcher block topped cabinets. During a previous bout of home improvement fever, I made curtains for them. (see January's post: http://katysthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/home-improvements-continue.html)

The continued problem though, is that the top of the new additional counter space was covered with stuff. SO, today I took care of that problem as well, giving myself a whole new large area of counter space. So happy!!!!! It's like I have a whole new kitchen to work with!
