Kitchen Corner

Finally I found some items to help me with kitchen corner storage!  The first thing I found was a little wooden box with handles which was the perfect size for quart jars.  (I like to store most things in glass.  They are easy to see that way AND if there are bugs, they have a hard time getting to the food inside.)

After searching all over for more little boxes, and even bigger boxes for the two-quart jars, I gave up.  Then one day I saw some crates on Michaels.com.  I measured the jars and found that these crates were the perfect size.  Sadly, when they came, only one of them fit the two-quart jars comfortably.  Their builders did not build them all the same size.  If they had been workers in the shop at the Brigham Young University theatre department, they would have been perfect.  At that shop when I was working there, there was only a 1/32" tolerance.  Things had to fit perfectly.  These crates don't but I made them work to some extent.

These are not perfect but they are good enough to make me happy until something else comes along on the horizon.  The idea had been to make shelves for the corner but Dear One was not enthusiastic at the time.  Well, this works so I will stick with it for now.
