I revealed our tweaked out kitchen island recently.  We added on an open shelving unit, painted it all white and replaced the builder laminate countertop with butcher block.

Since then I had Handy Hubby add on one more thing…a hook to hang my apron on.  We had a lone hook lying around (I buy them in 2 packs because we’re always hanging them somewhere for added storage) and simply screwed it into the side of the island extension that Handy Hubby and his woodworking buddy custom built. 

Now, I have an easily accessible place to store and retrieve my apron.  Not that I use it often…I’m not much of a cook. 

I’m hoping (and I’m sure Handy Hubby is too) that seeing my pretty apron out in the open on a daily basis will motivate me to tie it on and try some new recipes.  It hasn’t worked so far.  But it sure looks nice plus it kinda disguises the add-on.
