I've been moving things around and changing them so much that my previous posts are not really valid anymore. This side counter is one of my biggest challenges. I didn't like how the desk organizer looked so I got rid of it, intending to give it a makeover.
In the meantime this metal desk organizer went in its place and it worked for a while but I really wanted to get that other piece back in there.
I finally finished it today. I just used some black craft paint and contact paper from the dollar store.
And I love how it turned out!
Part of my kitchen re-org is just purging things I don't really like and keeping (or buying, if it's budget friendly) things I do love. I am a collector of all things coffee so when I saw this cute little candle at the dollar store I grabbed it. The candle smells like chocolate and I'll definitely keep the little mug in my coffee collection long after the candle is spent.
I also recently purchased this sweet lady for my kitchen. The artist has an Etsy shop and her stuff is gorgeous! Check her out here.
One little thing I did was take my hot pads out of the drawer and hung them on a Command hook beside my fridge. They are out of sight but within easy reach. And no more taking up valuable drawer space!
And since I took those plastic drawers away I had to figure out some new k-cup storage. So I overhauled the drawer under the coffee maker and added a little dollar store basket which fits a dozen k-cups perfectly and the plastic spoons my husband prefers to stir with. If I don't keep the spoons there I can fit 15 k-cups in the basket. The rest are stored in the pantry room so I just refill the basket once a week. I also bought another little dollar store basket to keep those short spice jars organized and moved the Old Bay to another cabinet. It's working out well so far.
