Our kitchen is the site of much of the activity in our home. Son #3 has built the cabinets for us, for which I am extremely grateful. So far they are incomplete and I came to a point where I hated to have all the kitchen gadgets, trash can, cleaning supplies, etc in plain view of everyone who enters the house. Consequently, I bit the bullet and purchased some light-weight cotton on a 50% off coupon at our local fabric store.
