I’m so happy I’m gonna cry! I HAVE THE BAKING CORNER! And the best part – I made it! I made it from boards – few new and few old, few planed and few unplaned covered in splinters. I did it and I’m proud! Indeed! I can’t express my satisfaction!
I had an old shelf and at first, I wanted to use it in the barn for some old stuff storage but then I saw potential in it! After all, we spend more than 3 years together as it looked – old and dirty! I use it for food storage. For my new kitchen, I decided to sand it. Only a bit, to get the dust, stains, and dirt of but to keep the old look.It looks good in my new baking corner!
It looks good in my new baking corner on top of the table with shelves I made! I haven’t oiled it and it’s not like I’m completely moved in BUT. I couldn’t wait a minute longer to share my joy and satisfaction with you readers!
How do you like it!?
Now it’s time to calm down and think how to make another table for sink and dishwasher :)…

P.S. And I need new oven mitts!!!!

Your new baking corner looks absolutely fabulous!! You are so very clever and have every right to feel proud. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m a bit stuck & afraid to start the next project…. but I know I will 🙂 Just need to think about it for few days to be sure, that I make exactly what I need 🙂
Yes. Just take the time to think it through so you get exactly what you want/need. Enjoy planning the next project.

Thank you, Jodi! I’m happy you liked it! It’s simple, but I love that style 🙂 since I’m living in the countryside!

Now we just need some delicious baking recipes to get you started but, I’ll bet you have many already.

Thank you! My grandma was a chef and she left me her notebook 🙂
Fantastic. Can’t wait for your first baking blog post.
Oh, I should finish whole kitchen. My oven is in the corner covered in dust and sink is outside waiting to be installed!
Baby steps.. It will be beautiful when you finish just have patience
I will, I will!
Wonderful Ilze. It looks really great. Congratulations on a job superbly done.
This is so lovely – all those jars make it so nicely put together. And it looks so, so neat and organised!
Thank you! I had those jars before and in the same shelf but the shelf wasn’t cleaned and sanded and put on top of table I made 😉
I really like this. It is coming out great.
Thank you. I like it too. The next section (for the sink and dishwasher) isn’t coming that easy.

I love you baking area! You did a wonderful job making it. The jar canisters are perfect and just my style too. 🙂
Thank you!
I love looking at kitchens! You did a very nice job on your baking area! I was especially interested in your jars on the shelf……..are they old or new jars? Very interesting. I’m headed over to your “Recipe Section” now, to see what kind of things you make!
🙂 I wish they were old… but they are bought 10 years ago and still can be found, look for “luminarc storage jars”.
Nice baking corner 👍
Looks like a nice place to enjoy your cooking. Enjoying your recipes too 👋👋👋🥪🥐🍇
Oh, it’s in our old house. We had to move out since it wasn’t ours. We’re now in the process of renovating a new place, and you can read all about it on my blog! 🙂
I know this is an old post but I love the idea of a dedicated baking corner – eliminates the running back and forth as every ingredient is within arms reach! Do you still use it regularly?
Oh, I’m not living in that house anymore—my kitchen is just ‘temporary’ now. But I’m already dreaming of planning a new one, this time with a baking corner 🙂. Thank you for your comment—it reminded me that I really can do anything I set my mind to! 😉
A new kitchen? That is exciting to plan
