Place the fridge in the corner, then a lower cupboard, then the sink, then the stove – this saves steps as you remove food from the fridge, wash it, then cook it. Stack a set of pans in the stove drawer and oven.

Between the fridge and sink, add a pull-out cutting board, stack dry goods in the lower cupboard and store a set of decorative dishes and glasses vertically on a narrow wall shelf. Store utensils in a jar on the counter. Dry dishes on a dish towel. Place a large cutting board over the stove or sink, as needed.

For spaciousness, paint the walls a light color and add a mirror over a drop-leaf table.

Sell the upper cupboards. Add recessed lighting over the counter.

Rather than cupboard doors, use a set of small curtains of recycled fabric. Use a small, spring-loaded curtain rod – supported with cup hooks.

At the far wall, add a glass slider, deck or screenhouse.

Nice to hear from you and see you on the tiny house blog! Thanks for posting the pics. I love these houses and wish I could live in one!

Hope you’re doing well. May all your tiny house dreams come true!
