decorating tips

If you go to Ikea's website, you can download this cool interactive 'design-your-own-kitchen' tool. And, since I was bored [I finished all my chores, and the kids were outside rehydrating the soil], I played with it a little. I designed myself a new kitchen, and liked it so much that I applied some of the ideas IRL. The cupboards over the fridge prevented me stacking things on top of it. And I couldn't stack things too high on the baker's rack because the top shelf is too shallow.
But, as you can see, swapping the two allows me to stack things on top of the fridge [my pressure cooker, for example]. And, I can now reach into the cupboards above the baker's rack, plus there's room beside it for my mop and broom. MUCH better, thank you! This "new" kitchen is more efficient; I think the only thing I'd want to buy would be new drapes, and a new curtain rod. And I can live with what I've got for now.
Oh, because I moved everything around, the kitchen floor also got swept and mopped, and the walls got washed. :) See what I can do when I'm not reading? LOL
Next job on my list is reorganizing the bathroom cabinets. Then my room, then the craft room. I've done the craft room a few times, and I'm pretty sure that what I actually need in there are some cabinets, mounted to the ceiling in the currently unused space there. And hey, Ikea sells cabinets. Hmmm...
