Thank you!! Two and a half months of post partum and just marinating in the room have led me to some creative solutions lol. I need to see about adding the shelf, I have to look at what we already have and if its worth buying a small piece of wood. I'm slightly wary about putting too much on the microwave, do they not get hot or need that to vent? I'm not sure, maybe im overreacting. I've been super paranoid since my son was born. For the shelves, when I found them on Amazon I felt I hit the jackpot! They work perfectly and the magnet is really good. There's 4 of them, 3 are on the mini fridge (two one side, one the other) and one is on the side of the desk for cat food but its not very secure so we have to be careful with that one because the magnet doesn't have much surface area. It also came with a paper towel holder which really helps. All the shelves we have are being used, we dont have any extra. I saw on Amazon there's this rotating little holder that I was thinking of getting, I really like that it has a lid! We actually have a full sized black trash can, it's just on the opposite wall but thankfully we have that covered. A dish bucket feels like I'd be inviting bad energy because we would likely leave it for too long. We try to bring the dishes down every day so they dont pile up too much. I was thinking replacing the desk with a buffet cabinet so it has storage under and on top and then putting the desk somewhere else but I was hoping to avoid buying more furniture lol. I also thought about a small thin shelf between the desk and shoe cabinet but adding more furniture feels counter productive. Thank you for all the ideas, it definitely gives me some food for thought! I appreciate the effort :)
