kitchen cabinets *after*

kitchen cabinets *after*

This is what happens when you spend three of your precious winter break hours at Design*Sponge. You get inspired then look at your house and sigh and then decide that since you needed to finish organizing your cabinets anyways, they might as well look spongeable. I’ve started looking at my desk…I’m thinking a vivid color would make me love it again. I can picture the ultimate desk that I plan to one day make…if only we had the room in our office now. And just FYI, the case of cokes on the top shelf is where I now stash extra utensils that are too long for drawers and that I don’t want in my utensil holder on the countertop. I thinks me clever.

I snagged this list from Christa Allan’s blog. A little fun for everyone else while I go take two finals.
