Our kitchen project made another leap forward today with putting various shelves and the like up on the walls. The most ambitious work involved a little bit of IKEA hacking, turning a shelf made of six parallel metal rods into two, three-rod shelves. One sits above a door way on the original brackets and the other fits perfectly across the window opening, giving us a little more storage (and a convenient place to hang drying herbs) in an otherwise wasted space.
There is still more to go but this is another firm step towards completion and it feels much better refining a workable kitchen than making do with an building site where the hub of the house ought to be.
