Such a little storage unit attached to the wall is a nice idea: it’s small, it features some storage space and it doesn’t take your countertop space at all. Make your box shelf brighter and funnier with colorful wallpaper or removable paper that matches your kitchen somehow, and the piece will be a perfect fit.
