When I built the Tiny House last summer with my friend Leo’s help, I was in a terrible hurry to get the stairs up. The have been causing me some grief. They work just fine. They are sturdy and as functional as a steep stair ladder can be; however, the fact that they were open and above the kitchen cupboards. YUCK! Dust and debris always falls through on the counters. Not any more! YEAH!
Finally I got some material and with the help of my husband I closed them in and also made the kitchen a little bit more permanent. It was NOT a huge job but it looks so much more nicely finished now. Too bad the counter top is still a couple of inches too short. But with a kitchen made up of Habitat for Humanities repurposed stuff, I think it looks fine and it feels good to have money go towards such a good cause as well!
I am thinking I will paint the cupboards this year. Plain white or art?

Yellow is my favourite colour! My city place in Hamilton is yellow from top to bottom!
