AW – I’m really not sure you can negotiate storage in a small space without visiting Ikea for *something*. I mean, maybe if you’re very wealthy and can afford to fabricate everything, but why bother?

PJ – So how do you feel about having your kitchen taken over for canning?

Excellent! Do I recognize some IKEA hooks and organizational tools in those photos? From visiting their showroom I learned to use vertical space (hanging junk on walls, mainly) to maximize space. Are you hosting Thanksgiving?

WOW! You are amazing! I had no clue when I saw your kitchen how a foodie like you would survive! But remember, I’ll be your back up counter

Aw, thanks

My apt is 650 sq feet, total, and has 5 rooms including the bathroom. No room is big, but it’s big enough. And actually I’m not in New York, but I know what you mean. I lived in Manhattan for 2 years and DC for three (and miss them both) and my apartments were smaller than this one, and the kitchens were of comparable size. This one is more challenging because they opted for a double sink instead of any counter space, and really didn’t make the best use of space for cabinets, etc. My kitchen in New York had a closet, fridge, stove, sink and mondo storage space in about 8′ x 8′. It was a miracle of well-thought-out space. This one I had to do the thinking for it.

And I’m not too big on pictures of myself. This is I believe the fourth one of me I’ve posted in 3.5 years!

I knew you’d figure it out. With the mind of a crafter and a cook it was destines to happen.

That is a small kitchen but you make it work, girl! I was kinda living with my then boyfriend now husband when he had his first flat, 600 sq. feet total, convertible. Meaning it had that sliding door that closed off where the bed was from where the couch and tv was. Are you in New York? And i’ve never seen a picture of you before. You are too cute cooking in your kitchen!
