10 Minutes To A Room I Love


I've been following the Nester's series 10 Minutes To A Room You Love. I thought I'd show my kitchen. It was more like 5 minutes...I added a lamp to the countertop.





The countertops were already decluttered since I can't put anything on them because they are almost nonexistent and I haven't figured out how to add seating or more fabric since I don't have a table in there. I am going to add pillows to my dining room chairs though. The sink was fabulously shiny until I had to fill it with sippy cups so I won't show you that mess. I loved how the Nester had a mirror above her sink and since I don't have a window above mine I thought I'd copy that idea. I was trying to think if I had a mirror hidden in the basement I could use, but no luck. Then I was trying to decide which store I should visit to look for a mirror when I walked into the kitchen and remembered I had a dish rack on my wall above the sink! I was so disappointed but there is nothing I can do about that situation. I am the dishwasher so I need a place to dry the dishes and the countertop next to the sink is only 18" wide. Oh well, maybe in my next house. I love all the ideas and I'm definitely going to use the master bedroom and bathroom tips when I get around to "remodeling" those rooms.
