Great job!
Sandee is a domestic goddess!
This is a very clever idea for a small space. Great job!
I love that little red microwave. Can you tell me more about it?
It looks like the racks are only there some of the time -- is that right? What do you do with them the rest of the time? When they're there, do you still have workable counter space on the carts?
Greetings!
This is Sandee. In answer to the two questions:
@Maurfar - The little red microwave was purchase at Target after Christmas. It was an end-of-the-year sale item.
@KMK355 - The racks are now permanent. I am visiting family in New England so I had to put together my entry with the photos saved on computer. I wanted to show the entire kitchen and the only photo I had of that was pre-rack. Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks for checking out my kitchen!
Oh, @KMK355 - Yes, I do have workable space under the racks when they are there. The racks have been a wonderful solution since I am not allowed to install a pot rack or any wall-mounted shelving.
@sandee, what's the size of your microwave?
@Maurfar - Here in Brooklyn, Target had a red microwave on sale $70. It might be on the website or in your local Target as well.
I love the industrial look of the pipes on the Ikea-hack carts! That is so cool!
Hello @Maurfar and @Pier723 - this is the microwave we have.
