before and after: kitchen/entryway

too many shoes and costco-size shopping overwhelmed my one-person apartment:

but saturday i hauled two shelving units home:

it still doesn't all "fit" exactly, but i love the cleaner appearance and it makes me smile. (i'm such an aesthetic nerd...)

some notes:
○ the cork board will become some kind of inspiration board, or just a collection of postcards and pictures and other pretty things.
○ the sauce pan lid is now joined by its partner and the frying pan (they were in the sink).
○ eventually i want to paint the bigger unit. not sure what color(s) or anything, but it's on the someday-wouldn't-it-be-fun project list.
○ until then, the smell of pine greets me every time i walk in the door.

great job! I'm a total aesthetic nerd, too. I have to like the look and feel, haha!
doesn't it feel so great to get something like that done?
