More Counter Space!

So, as you know, we just moved, and I realized as I was cooking waffles on my washing machine, and mixing banana bread batter on the washing machine that the counter space in this kitchen is prime real estate...see the two little square of space? This is totally fine...there are plenty of other fabulous things about our new place to be too bugged by that! So, my mother-in-law, Cheryl, told me to go to Home Depot and get a board cut that would exactly cover the washer and dryer, and then cover it wish some vinyl fabric, or oilcloth. This would work as more counter space...and when I need to do the laundry (which is always the same day each week), I can just slide it down next to the fridge, and replace it when I'm done. Soooo, that's what I did... So, probably no one else cares about this fun project, but every time I walk into the kitchen now, it makes me smile to see a little bit of happy in there, instead of a little bit of W/D.
so cute?

I can't believe how fast you whip things up. I know I shouldn't be shocked every time you turn things around in one day. It looks so good. I love home improvement projects. They make me happy.

What a great idea! Is this a rental? We're renting a house now after being in a 900 sq ft apartment and it is SO nice! :) Can't wait til I'm rich and can buy a house!
