The shelves were the cheapest, easiest and most useful redo that will probably happen in the next few years. Whoever I get to design the kitchen in the future, needs to understand how much the space is used.The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-25400554100157084562010-01-25T16:32:36.234-05:002010-01-25T16:32:36.234-05:00I put a big shelf unit in the basement this fall t...I put a big shelf unit in the basement this fall that was SO NICE compared to what was there before. Storage for all my home-canned goods. A kitchen re-do may be in my future, but I'm more into collecting my thoughts and info right now. I know a great designer, but she doesn't 'cook'- you know - roll out dough and make bread and fix stuff. I realized there is really only 1 good work surface, so cooking together is WAY TOO together!

I'm still in the stage of lug-all-my-preserving-stuff-up-from-the-basement, and really wishing I'd started eating locally BEFORE I re-did my kitchen; I'd have done it differently for how we now cook.
