Last night we installed the shelves above the kitchen sink. We aren't quite sure what's behind the walls (probably brick, but our drill definitely would not go through whatever it is), so we had to use rely on drywall screws (crossing our fingers they hold up... so far so good! I was positive we were going to have a casualty with setting the cast iron Dutch ovens on them, but Mr P pulled through yet again!)
We also got spice containers, so our open shelving above the stove doesn't look like mad mess with all the different spice jars. It's a good thing we know our spices, since they won't have any labels on them anymore!! We didn't have time to actually put the spices in the jars, but I was just tired of seeing the jars in the packaging creating more clutter...
Leaving today for OHIO!!! It will be so nice to see the bride- and groom-to-be, high school friends I haven't seen in a LONG time, and my mom!! ...and it will actually be nice to get away from the apartment for a little while...
Though, last night the Fedex man came to our door with the new stainless steel commercial grade island!! Mr P wanted to put it together sooo bad last night, but we just have too many things in our kitchen right now... more motivation to get things done quicker! So, I'm sure we will be anxious to get back to the grind after our little 4-day break.
Have a great weekend everyone :D
Toodles.

The shelves look great! Did you have to get permission from your landlord?
Thanks! Yes, we have a pretty sweet deal with the landlord. Very cheap rent and we pay for any renovations we want to do. The renovations were exhausting but fun, and we were able to learn the basics of SOO many things, like plumbing, laying floors, grouting tile, etc...
