I had our old kitchen transferred to our garage so I can have a sort of summer kitchen for al fresco food prep and barbecue platters etc. DH has other ideas. Grr.

Garages are usually ‘Man space’ aren’t they??

Spinnaker Sat 20-Apr-24 09:39:58

Yep, been there done that - I feel your pain Joseann

I suppose it's like the old saying of if you see a space, fill it - especially in all things kitchen related grin

It sounds as though he’s too late, you’ve already done it!

Oopsadaisy1 Sat 20-Apr-24 09:43:17

Oops just blown up the photo and can see what he’s done.

Wish MrB was as neat as that with all his clobber.

What does the other side of the garage look like?

Joseann Sat 20-Apr-24 10:17:51

Ha ha, Baggs. There's a takeover bid every side I look!! I give up!

I love your beautiful dog❤

A continuation of the ‘if you see a space fill it
If you run out of space build another shed

He's made a man cave . Joseann or should I say man and dog cave. Take over one of the rooms in your house just for yourself if you have room . Can't beat him so join him at his own game . 🤣

Ah, well you haven't shown us the insides of the cabinets have you? Perhaps he left those empty for your food prep equipment.

Sarnia Sat 20-Apr-24 11:06:44

He must be pleased with you. Fitting cupboards and counters where he can park his stuff. grin

Our garage is fitted out with bits of neighbours' kitchens from when they changed theirs. It's not as posh as yours, Joseann😁 but the clutter well organised space is much the same.

However, it's somewhere I rarely venture unless absolutely necessary.

It looks incredibly neat and tidy to me. Beautiful dog.

Joseann Sat 20-Apr-24 14:04:59

xxx to the admirers from dog!

What he needs to do Joseann is put up some shelves on the opposite wall for his boxes, then you need to (as quick as you can 😁), put out any bits you’ll need for your barbecue where he had the boxes 😁😁 before he can clutter the surface with more “stuff” 😅. Good luck with that, though 😂.

Gorgeous dog, by the way.
