Certain elements of apartment architecture make no sense. Take this beam over my sink for example:
Why? Maybe it braces the cupboards in some way, since each set only touches the wall on one side. (The cupboards on the other side of the kitchen run wall-to-wall.) If this is a support mechanism of some sort, well, fine, but it's kind of ugly, no?
My lack of enthusiasm for this strange beam, paired with my remorse over not having a kitchen window, got the wheels turning in my head. How could I disguise that horizontal piece and bring a bit of light over the sink? I'll tell you.
The black cord in the bottom corner runs up to a clip-on desk lamp I clipped over the beam. I turn it on when I do dishes, and it nicely illuminates the task at hand. Let me show you a better view of the "sunshine" I see out my "kitchen window."
It reminds me to smile...how can I resist when I see those blissed-out celestial friends?

Dry herbs and tie them to the board.
Now there's an idea! Unfortunately I killed the herbs I tried to grow...but I did get one yummy batch of basil ravioli out of them before they conked.
