Poll: If you had an extra 2'x2' space, what would you put there?
Comments (22)If it were me (im in a wheelchair) id would use The "Gro-Eze" Telescopic Vertical Garden Tower System made by the Spud Eeze Corporation, you can plant 18 plants on the side and the top also has aprox 3 square feet more to plant in. Wow i had the BIGGEST CROP EVER IN MY 2 X 2 space. My Herbs were great on the side and i planted a Cherry tomato and 2 basil on the top along with 1 hot pepper plant. the top was a little tight but it worked great. It was easy to pick and take care of. Thanx a million....See Morecreating usable spaces where cabs are missing
Comments (8)I agree that the counter should run up to the range on both sides for landing & work space. But that means you will have to build a platform of some sort to support the counter or, at the very least, have some type of support next to the range. Underneath, I'd put in open shelving (as was mentioned previously) for your pots & pans. If a curtain fits the style of your kitchen, you could put up curtains to hide the shelves and protect the contents from dust & debris. You might be able to even install pullout shelves to make access to everything much easier...just attach the pullout shelves to the sides of the support structure you build. How much room is there, btw? What is the style of the doors? If slab, it might be easy to "fill in the blanks" with cabinets or doors from elsewhere....See MoreWhat would you put in this blank space?

Comments (14)That is exactly why I have done nothing yet Amy. I love the Parrish prints and they are smaller in size and I don't want to overpower them. I should have mentioned that was my second choice. Putting the larger daybreak centered over the bed and then splitting the two from my side of the bed on either side. The prints are the old ones from the 20's and the frames and glass are pretty heavy. DH wasn't very happy with that option either. While they didnt have the points of the iron piece, They still could do a number on you if they fell. He suggested a poster. I wasnt thrilled with that either. I found some canvas "prints" but they are about $120 each. For about $80 more I could get more original prints in frames from the 20's (of course if they came up at our local auction house) and I can't see spending that much money on a canvas print. That pillow idea is very pretty. I hadn't thought of curtain like fabric hung either. That might work. I think Fabric barn is having another holiday sale. I do have larger lamps I could use but put the smaller ones here so they didnt block the prints. It's just not working. I have been looking on CL for a king bed frame and no such luck so far. Msrose they are from ebay. I will try to post a link to the seller. They have good feedback and the groupings range in price from $50-$150 Here is a link that might be useful: ebay seller...See MoreHow would you put a pantry in this space?
Comments (18)how exactly does this open shelving help with the "cat issue" do you have method to keep the cats out.when they will be at your feet as you pass through doors, headed for open shelves? with hands full of items...how do you pick them up to remove them from the area.. and also closing the doors to secure the space at the same time.......cats will figure it out.. wouldn't a pantry in the kitchen be better.....rollout type..when they are looking up and see the tall rolling object about to close I'm sure they'd run. Whereas upon discovery of a door that isn't very secure and completely open shelves, I think would be an invitation,...If the cat issue isn't really "the issue", but just storage in general, i'd rethink passing through two doors since this is the bulk of your food storage space,...See MoreC H
