Wildebeests: Kitchen Potrack

...and now that the kitchen light works, I can take pictures of the finished potrack, and the furthering of my kitchen designs.

When last we met the kitchen, I had a cramped pantry, a wasted space between it and the refrigerator, and a trash can that moonlighted as a dog buffet:

Which is hard to see in this picture - easier to look at the plans I drew up for using the space better:

The "before" is the teeny tiny little sketch in the top right of this picture - and you can see the after.  The pot rack was built in stages over the last month, as time and tools would allow, and went from this...

To this:

Granted, something needs to be done about The Magnet Situation here (there are over 300 words on the front doors alone).

I've screwed some small cup-hooks onto the side to hang a dishtowel on (after I took the photo, whoops).  I may also repaint it at some point - I couldn't decide what color to paint it, so I went with gray to match the walls.  I wanted it to be fun, but I just couldn't decide.  Now I don't have to, for a while, anyway.

Meanwhile, two shelves full of pots and strainers in the pantry have been cleared, and the pantry re-organized into something that makes sense, and is very handy to use!

Next stop:  Laundry Room!
