poor man's gard[en]

today's post

features a little addition 

to our kitchen

a handmade wall shelf

we recently celebrated our

anniversary in mexico

{see post here} 

and found two metal 

shelf brackets that were

handmade by an artisan 

along the coast of baja.

so, of course, mr. amazing

whipped up a shelf to

put some of our cookbooks

on, hide the nasty old-fashioned

telephone hook-up & give us more counter space

to use when cooking and baking.

see our empty wall

{on the left, & before the grey paint}

 before mr. amazing's work:

and now with our wonderful shelf:

thank you jonathan.

it makes cooking & baking

so much easier with the extra space.

and it hides the ugly phone jack.

and we spent $10 total. huh. perfect.

kitchen {from previous posts}
