I had a bit more time and energy after cleaning up the last space so I decided to work on a space in my kitchen. I had been using the area to feed my two cats but it amassed a bunch of recycling, some empty terrarium jars, my reusuable grocery bags, etc etc.

Really, the cat area was unneeded so I rolled the catfood bags up and stored them in a big felt bag I haven't used since college, brought in a cart to store my regularly used kitchen items and sat up a spot to sit with this ragdoll I recently rescued from the thrift. I think it's a much cuter spot now. and having the cart in for storage should help me locate staples quicker.

I'll have to find a different place to keep the catfood out of the dog's reach but that shouldn't be too hard. Eventually I would like to paint the cart. I'm thinking maybe a poppy orange or robins egg shade.

Here's my before and after:






I'm pretty tired now, so I think I'll call it quits for cleaning today, take a bath then fix dinner. I plan on making braised lentils, Tennessee Onions and Hoecakes for dinner. There's a small chance John might make bread but it sounds like he'll be working late.
