Laura C. (the professional home organizer who recently visited us and did a consultation style appointment) isn't going to believe that I got my hhhhhuuuuggggeee 31" folding table into the utility closet! Woo hoo!
If we actually had to count points she shamed me on, the size of this table would qualify as something that bugged her out. I still maintaing that 1. I love this table and see it in our future and 2. This table still isn't very great for sewing & craft projects. And it's slotted.
And now it's in this closet! Out of sight!
It used to be back behind the microwave & dishwasher. Our dishwasher is portable and that means you pull out hoses and hook it up to the kitchen faucet.
So the Microwave got off the top of the dishwasher (since we got an almost full-size refrigerator the microwave could not longer fit on top of the fridge, so it had no other home but on the top surface of the dishwasher. It was so ugly and horrible, I don't think I ever took a photo) and moved to this little side table...
Ikea TRYTA Table $9.99
Here's a little IKEA tray to catch stuff on top of the microwave. A 2nd "landing area" If you will.
It's SO IMPORTANT to have every bit of surface area - we have no real counter tops - at all - it's OK to have the microwave in a semi-strange low place, so we can use the top of the dishwasher as a counter top.
We rolled without paint for about a week-
