A small bookshelf can help a small kitchen. It gives books one clear place. You can also add cups and tea.
Keep the shelf away from the stove. Books and paper can catch fire there. Also keep it away from the sink. Water can hurt the books. (usfa.fema.gov)
For example, Hana has a narrow kitchen. She puts a short shelf by the door. Her cookbooks sit on the middle shelf. Tea and cups sit below them. A small green plant sits on top. Now her table is clear. She has more room to cook. The little shelf makes her kitchen feel happy.
