Small Space Solutions for Home Computer Station or Niche

Image
Hi Friends! So, I been thinking about new home construction and how the times have changed in the past 10 years.  One thing that seems like a MUST HAVE in a home now-a-days is a computer niche.  We almost didn't build one in our home that we built 4 years ago but I realized if the computer (or laptop) didn't have a specific space it was going to be left out on the counter or dining table forever!  I'm one of those people who REALLY want to have a specific space for everything so I am very happy we found a little "hole in the wall" area and that is where I put my computer.

(It’s just what was handy, as that was the material it had been wrapped up in for the move.)

Some of you are probably thinking HOW can she say yummy and cabbage in the same sentence? Well, these my friends are SO GOOD! Pressure or Slow Cooker Meat Cabbage Rolls! Not only are they very tasty, they look all fancy too (and they were easy!!) I have a very sweet friend that I helped virtually decorate her mountain cabin (which I would love to show you guys sometime!!) but as a gift for doing that, she sent me an Instant Pot  pressure cooker.  Click on the image and check out the reviews!!! WOW, I haven't ever experienced cooking with a pressure cooker before and let me tell you, somewhat life changing! You can cook FROZEN chicken breasts (or entire chickens) to juicy perfection in 15 minutes! Things that I would have to cook in the slow cooker for HOURS is done in under 30. So, these cute little things took 18 minutes in the pressure cooker, but you could also use your slow cooker on low for 9 hours or high for 5 hours. (see how ...
