Nicole had a weird little wall in her kitchen. It tried to be useful, it really did. Bless its heart. “Look!” the wall desperately cried. “I’m toootally a pantry! See all this storage here? And what about this high chair/trash can/random paper bag area? Talk about multi-tasking! Did you notice the calendar? Yup, I got your family activity command center, right here. What more could you need?”
But Nicole needed more. She knew this little wall wasn’t living up to its full potential. So she and her husband added a few stock cabinets (easy to find at any building supply store), a countertop that they made themselves, plus paint, hardware, crown moulding, and hello! It’s now starring as a hard-working built-in that looks like it has always been there. Love it.
