The wastebasket cupboard Tetsu had made a few months ago and I had complained there was a lot of wasted space on the top of it. I was all for going out and buying a cupboard to fit on top of the waste basket "box" I'm afraid Tetsu's carpentry is often so clunky that it doesn't really hold all that a slimmer, efficiency designed piece might hold. But just as I like making quilts just to see if I can, Tetsu likes to saw and pound lumber just to see what useful object he can make
I love the new cupboard! It is sturdy and can hold a vegetable basket a fruit bowl and other condiments. (Let's see... Up on top there is a Tetsu made used milk carton holder.) I love the way with an accumulation of "Tetsu" pieces, my kitchen has a lovely rustic look to it
"Oh! You are so wonderful! The cupboard just fits!!!"
Tetsu was very pleased with himself and with my abundance of praise. I'm afraid the kitchen is too small to take a full picture of the whole piece in one shot. Too bad Tetsu can't enlarge the kitchen too!

Very nice cupboard Tetsu has made. Wonky or not, I love the simplicity. Tell Tetsu it looks great.
I wonder how many other kitchens have a container for flattened milk and juice cartons. Ours go in a hanging bag.
Good job Tetsu. You are lucky to have such a handyman. You both have many talents.

Clever Tetsu, what a useful looking cupboard. And I love how tolerant and loving you are of his efforts and how you can see the connection between your quilts and his carpentry.
Tetsu knows how to make the best use of small spaces. Maybe someday he will have a TV show, showing others how to this. I'm impressed w/ the work he does...hugs, Pat in IN
Oh yes, I think that Tetsu should have his own TV show! Bet it would be very popular, as he does such a wonderful job with such small spaces!! The two of you are very blessed to have each other!
Well done! I should take a page from his book and do something similar in my kitchen.
Oh, I want to make sure that TV show--Tips from Tetsu--is translated into English!
