    Galley Kitchen 

    Here is the long overdue kitchen shelf project. (Every time I look at these pictures, I am amazed not so much at what I have done with my kitchen, but more so with the fact that I can do anything at all in there.)

    This is the BEFORE shot. And yes, this is my entire kitchen.

    The shelf set I installed is from IKEA. I do not remember what series is was, but I think it was named something Swedish for “it should be illegal to call something a kitchen if it has no oven.”

    There was actually a preliminary step between the BEFORE view and Step 1 that involved me using a hammer, a magnet, and my spidey sense to try to find the studs in the wall.

    I also skipped one of the crucial intermediate steps: drink a whole pot of coffee and consider making another one…

    And voila, shelves!

    We’ve been trying to find the right kind of shelves that will fit in the firehouse and I think we have a winner.  Check out these shelves Max saw today in an architect’s office.  Aren’t they lovely?
