Thank you, Reb; the photos came through fine; I clicked to see it, but did not save it (poor little disks on this computer).Send us photo of of what you do to "modernise" it--looks lovely.though!Cheers,nTo: MSersLife <MSersLife >Sent: Thu, September 2, 2010 5:17:49 AMSubject: An IKEA vision... [1 Attachment]

I was browsing the IKEA catalogue (yes, it has come now...), in the kitchen, while having coffee, and I happened upon a page with this image (attached, hopefully...). A shelf with drawers in it (it,s numbered "6" 9n the image). I looked up and saw the kitchen wall where we have what I'd call "paper storage". It's a workbench made from glass blocks (the sides) and wood (the top), with room for food and water for the cats underneath (there own "dining room", where we won't risk accidentally kicking the bowls all over the kitchen floor...), and on top some cook books, and with 4 magazine files holding, well magazine, and mail, and that kinds of things. We built the bench ourselves and are quite proud of it, although it is usually buried under mail,

cookbooks, recipes etc and thus not very visible... And then there is a shelf on the wall, quite high up, holding a mass of cookbooks. Anyway, I looked from the catalogue and to that area and back, and realized. Eureka! That shelf, or rather two of them, would take care of all that paper debris (the drawers would swallow it), keeping it stored and within reach, but not visible, and in the same time the shelfs would provide much needed (and also within reach) space for our ever growing collection of cookbooks. And all of that would mean freeing up the bench, and tidying up that whole area. I called out to : "Could you come here. I am having an IKEA vision!".... ; )She agreed that it would be a perfect solution. Well, we'd prefer other brackets than the ones on the picture, something less overstated. But that's the beauty of IKEA, you can choose those things. So we

can pick the brackets we like, or even build a pair ourselves. Just wanted to share the idea, in case anyone has some space where a shelf with built in drawers would solve some problems.love/RebPS. In case the catalogue image doesn't come through, you can see the shelf (but without brackets) here too:http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30168601
