So, here's your first assignment:
The little wire "whatchamacallit" below the pans is the back of a kitchen shelf that I had gotten free at a sale as it was falling apart. I dismantled it and only used the back part. I couldn't use the shelf part as it was wider and wouldn't fit between the cupboards. When I held up the wire part to see if it would fit I sort of shoved it in between those cupboards and miracle of miracles.....it wedged itself in there buckling a little at the sides but fit nice and snug...It was an accident actually...I was just "puttering around" to see what it would look like. And get this.....it did not scratch the side of the cupboards! Another miracle!
Here's a better picture of the pot and pan hangar.
No, I'm not showing you my clean sink...although it is nice and clean isn't it. I thought I'd throw in "a few of my favorite things" for the kitchen. This one (and I have several of these because when they're dirty I just throw them in the dishwasher) is a wire mesh drain "picker-upper"? It keeps things from going down your drain that you don't want to. I took out the ones that came with the sink, those metal twist ones that never work for me. For years I would use them, fill up my sink with soapy water only to turn around to discover it had drained out. Now, I use a plastic dish tub that fits right in my sink (I got mine at Dollar General) and I don't use the metal sink drainers at all anymore.
and put in a spray bottle. I LOVE her products, they're natural for one and smell divine and do the job! It's so much better than store bought chemical stuff and it makes cleaning a joy...literally! She has all kinds of scents and some are seasonal. I love basil and sweet pea and in the winter I use pine but it's the Christmas tree pine and it's called Iowa Pine. The 2 products of hers that I cannot live without is her all purpose cleaner above which I buy the big size and you dilute it 1/8 cup to that spray bottle and it lasts me a year or longer. I guess I should clean more often? The other are her candles; they are soy, and they really don't smoke or turn the container black, come in reusable cute jars, are reasonably priced, burn right down to the bottom each and every time and smell divine!
Okay....you can leave your comments about my decorating sanity by posting "anonymously" if you don't want to identify yourself. I can't afford a therapist or a brain scan so it's up to you all!
