We had a busy weekend. I bought an over the stove microwave and replaced the vent hood with it. This really cleared up counter top space for appliaces, etc. Our vacuum sealer died so we bought a newer one that has the accessory port on it. We're now able to use the vacuum canisters as well as bags, and this one has storage for a roll of bags built in. Much easier to use. We've been reorganizing our drawers to make better use of the space which is helping a whole heck of alot.
