And you give up on fighting weeds and bugs altogether.. You just run out with little planks of wood everyday and try to cradle the melons and cucumbers and keep them safe until they’re ready.. And take a big metal bowl to fill up with your harvest as fast as you can before the sun gets too hot and your courage for dealing with bees buzzing around your head wears out.. And then you forget once again to rinse off your veggies BEFORE coming inside and scream at the little buggies that come crawling out into your sink.. Yup, it’s exactly that time of year in our garden right now.Most normal folk would probably classify this as a “weed”.
It’s always a work in progress around here!This cabinet is probably my favorite though because I just love being all stocked up on the necessities like this, and knowing that we’re not going to run out or be caught having to run to the store late at night for something silly like toilet paper.
Plus, isn’t there just something about crisp, white paper products?.The Five Finger Trick for Controlling Clutter.One of the neat things we did with this wall o’ storage is incorporate a “sewing room” into one cupboard.
All of my sewing stuff fits into one cupboard and then when I’m ready to work on a project, I just bring my sewing machine up onto the counter, pull up a chair, and go!.It’s so handy to have the outlet that Chris built right into the countertop and the light up above!.
If you want to build something like this on a blank wall in your home, it’s actually pretty simple!.
You just need to pick up some basic in-stock upper cabinets from your local hardware store (ours were unfinished oak and I just painted them), build a basic frame on the floor from 2×4’s to raise your cabinets off the floor a litter, and then attach them to the wall and each other!It’s finally almost ready!
Meet me back here tomorrow to see Kennedy’s closet!I change my perspective on this front hall project every five minutes, I swear.One moment it’s the most significant and symbolic thing in my life and needs to get done PRONTO and the next it’s no big deal.
It’s just a hallway.. Of course, now that Chris has done his (big) part to help me out, and it’s my turn to get to work, it’s suddenly not such a pressing issue!I’m terrible, I admit it!.
