When I got my new stove, I did miss the flat part of the backboard to
put spices and other things on, but I found an alternative that's going
to work better.

I'd like to convert the set of drawers to the left of my stove into
something more like a tiny pantry. Have you seen something that would
work for that?

I still need to redo my cabinet doors to white to match my new kitchen
style. I just haven't had the time. I just transferred to another
department at work and am afraid to take time off right now.

I really need to make the most of my tiny kitchen. My dad built me a
couple of shelves that I still need to put up and they will fit
perfectly over the two entrances into the kitchen. I'd love to have a
hanging pot rack but that won't work. I think I'll put my small
cookbook collection on those shelves. I have to be sure to completely
fill them or else my cats will think they are highways to jump on. lol
