On the counter we have a little tea area, complete with a cute sign from a box of tea that my sister-in-law sent me from England! The sink itself is nothing too special, but the faucet is new and I just love it &#8212; the faucet pulls out and turns into the sprayer! It is so handy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0In front of the sink we turned the cabinet fronts into tilt down trays. We used a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Rev-A-Shelf-14-in-Polymer-Tip-Out-Sink-Front-Trays-6572-14-11-52\/202855798\">Rev-A-Shelf kit<\/a> to install the trays.

It&#8217;s full of recipe cards from my family, and recipes I&#8217;ve found in magazines and online. If a recipe is good enough to make again, it gets put onto a card and filed in my grandpa&#8217;s box. :-) I have the recipes sorted by category, and every recipe is inside a protective sleeve. This system works well for me because I can quickly find all of my favorite recipes, and the protective sleeves are easy to wipe off and clean!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/recipe_holder.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-814\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/recipe_holder.jpg\" alt=\"recipe_holder\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/recipe_holder.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/recipe_holder-300x150.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/recipe_holder-816x408.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCN5774.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-838\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCN5774-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen wall arrangement\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCN5774-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCN5774-816x612.jpg 816w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSCN5774.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I also have a really cute wall arrangement in the kitchen!
