Now why were you asking about counterspace in relation to closet space?
Sometimes in the older homes along with no closet space s no counter space in the kitchen, I can live without big closets but the kitchen counter space would have to be a TOP PRIOITY!!!! I spend a whole lot of time in my kitchen and as long as the kitchen is fabulous NOTHING else in the house would matter your kitchen is fabulous so boxes in a bedroom or ALL bedrooms would not bother me a bit, like I said I would just live in the kitchen!!!! Your hubby did an AMAZING job God Bless him!!!
