There are many differences here in Germany from our life in the U.S., space is a major one. The one closet our house has is a linen closet located on the second floor next to the bathroom. The Air Force helped solve the closet problem in the bedrooms by lending us four closet like wardrobes. Unfortunately these did not help with the kitchen storage issue. I knew that something would have to be done in the kitchen even before our stuff had arrived. So I grabbed the Ikea catalog and braved the German information desk at the store in Mannheim to ask how to find things in the warehouse, turns out this was a valuable lesson I would use again when replacing Laura’s furniture. Somehow we made it home with some shelves and to Sam’s surprise and pleasure not much else.
In the video you might notice the ONE small drawer , the multiple trash cans (trash is an ordeal here), the small frig (we have a big one downstairs),and the lack of counter space. Not to mention my kid who decided not to brush her hair yet this morning.
