We have cut the shelves and put them in place. I just have to decide what to do with the top. Plywood would be about $30 or more (depending on whether I buy cabinet grade. A laminate counter top would be $70. Another option is composite board covered with something.
One thing I have learned about new kitchens in the 50's is that they liked to mix materials. It was not uncommon for wood and metal cabinets, or laminate and stainless counters to be in the same kitchen. So my thought is to wrap the composite in stainless.
I found a tablecloth at the thrift store for $4 that I think might work as curtains in front of the shelves.
That is... if I decide to keep it. As you can see from the picture, it is attracting a lot of clutter already. I am hoping that is because many things still don't have a place, so hopefully that will change soon.
Don't mind the yard sale clutter in front of the shelves. More on that later.
