Reading all these blogs is a great way for some inspiration. \u00a0That inspiration and a magazine article my mom found gave me the idea to do something with our moveable kitchen island\/cabinet.<\/h3>\n

\"Ikea<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the Varde Base Cabinet by Ikea. \u00a0We had a blank area in our kitchen, and we thought it would help give us extra counter space and storage. \u00a0When I’m cooking dinner, Mr. Spring will sit on the stool, and we catch up on our day. \u00a0When he’s the cook, I park my bottom there.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ikea<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Right behind the cabinet wall is our dining room. \u00a0We have discussed opening the wall a little more, but we are not sure if we will actually ever carry out that plan. \u00a0The kitchen flows nicely now into the dining room, so it is a project way down the line if we decide to go that direction. \u00a0Anyway, this piece has come in handy for cooking, too. \u00a0When Mr. Spring and I are cooking together, we are not on top of each other, and we can each have a work space.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ikea<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

At first we used the shelves as a catch-all and just stuffed them with some dishes that we do not use very often. \u00a0My mom cut out a magazine picture that had a base cabinet similar to ours. \u00a0It was staged and looked so good. \u00a0Slowly, I am learning about vignettes and how to place things, so I decided it was time for a vignette of sorts. \u00a0I tried to make my shelves look like the ones in the magazine photo.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Base<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Since I rarely use the dishes that were currently under the cabinet, I put them in the storage area above the oven. \u00a0I borrowed some things from around the house and added them to the shelves.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Base<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The wooden salad bowl actually gets used a lot more now that it is in view. \u00a0And oh, by the way, I realize that this island\/cabinet is not white like the rest of our kitchen cabinet<\/a>s, but it blends in well with the hardwood floors and adds a little diversity.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cookbooks\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The books helped add some color to the wood colored cabinet. \u00a0This True Grits<\/em> \u00a0book is a cookbook from my time in\u00a0the Junior League of Atlanta. \u00a0You can never go wrong with a Junior League cookbook.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Kitchen\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Well that is the updated kitchen base cabinet. \u00a0Now I need to decidewhat to do with those darn cord right above the cabinet counter.<\/h3>\n
