As you probably already know, we live in a 1928 charmer. \u00a0Old houses have their quirks, but I like to think the charm and character outnumber the quirks. \u00a0For instance, we have a wasted space in our kitchen (here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/h3>\n

It is a quirky corner. \u00a0The previous owner painted this area with chalk board paint which we love. \u00a0He used it to help his daughter with her math, and we use it to help us with our memory. \u00a0You know how I love chalkboard paint. \u00a0It’s a great place for the always changing “to-do” list grocery list, camping list, etc. \u00a0You can see it is now reminding us that it is time to plant peas so they’ll be ready in the fall.<\/h3>\n

As you probably noticed above, there are also some ugly wires that I have been looking at since we moved in. \u00a0Our house is wired for speakers in the kitchen and dining room, but \u00a0at this point we have not set them up. \u00a0So, I needed to temporarily hide those wires till the day comes when we can put them to use.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

There is also another quirk going on here. \u00a0There were some weird strips of wood that looked as if they had once supported a shelf. \u00a0We’re guessing a speaker sat on it. \u00a0This is the view from underneath. \u00a0 To put those strips of wood to use, Mr. Spring measured and cut a triangular piece of \u00a0wood to fit in that area. \u00a0I painted it white.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

After we placed the shelf on the brackets, I topped it off with a pop of color which serves double duty. \u00a0It hides the ugly wire, and it adds some interesting detail to the corner. \u00a0You can’t see it, but it also balances out some bright green Granny Smith apples that I have on the opposite end of the room. \u00a0I love it now. I have color and the wires have done their temporary disappearing act. \u00a0 Great! \u00a0 Now I’m off to plant those peas.<\/h3>\n
