I saw that you just used the plug when you clipped it on your curtain rod (smart!) but I'm wondering how you installed these in your kitchen. And how have they held up for you?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />(PS: I think sometimes I show up as a no-reply blogger, even though I have changed every setting available, boo, so if that's the case, my email is iamjustlu@gmail.com)<br /><br />Thank you!<br />LoreneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881734963401294721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008124157424133980.post-88257384588897821032013-03-24T18:26:20.739-04:002013-03-24T18:26:20.739-04:00Kelly your a amazing women.

With the interior painted black, the focus is on the dishes where it belongs. If I had more cabinet space, I would love to "borrow" your idea for over the microwave!<br /><br />When I was painting our cabinets and the doors were off, I loved the ease of taking things in and out. Now I understand why it has become so popular.
