Kitchen Nook Remodel | Before And After

I really have no clue.
I’ve spent so much time trying to decide what to call this space in my kitchen, that I’m almost embarrassed.
Almost.
Desk area? “Area” feels too big.
Kitchen nook? Nook? That word is weird if you think about it.
And then there’s the guilt. I feel a little guilty for stressing over what to call my little space, when kitchen spaces like this were considered a luxury when I was growing up. (I am speaking for myself here.)
These mental speed bumps come up all the time. I’m okay with that because let’s face it, I don’t have a choice. It’s how my brain works.

Before I spout off a list of what was wrong with this “area”, let me express my gratitude for having a roof over our heads. This home was designed and owned by my husband’s grandparents. I appreciate the love and detail that went into it, and I mean no disrespect with any comments that I make. (Like when I express my confusion over the low height of the desk top.) We have owned it and lived here for over 5 years, and the fun in making it “ours” has just begun.
Simple enough, right?
Remember those old land lines? Where the phone had a cord, and it went into the wall? Yeah, I do. Good times.
This piece of glass was found at ReStore for $3.00. Judging by the sticker that was on it, it was intended as a shelf for an Ikea furniture unit.

Liliana Wells on Aug 20, 2014I like your wall art; but I really like the before nook. In my book, you can never have enough storage. Good luck with your house.
