ahhh, I have the corner table that goes in between those two sofas....i bought it off ebay about 4 years ago, for 25 bucks, drove an hour and a half to get it. The guy called it a James Bond table...???

wow. reading through the comments, I was afraid I was the oddball in choosing #2. But then I see after viewing your larger pics, some others came around. I like #3 as well, but feel it is too 'dresser-y' for use as a credenza. Number 2 is believable, and very interesting, and should suit your credenza needs, e.g., silverware, table linens, platters, etc. Good luck. Very nice finds, but to tell you the honest truth, i really HATE #1, its very icky. lol.

I absolutely love that Italian drying cabinet, and we are certainly going to build one of those in the next apartment (June 08- Hoboken, 800sf Me, Hubby, 2 P/T College Age Daughters and 2 rambunctious dogs....sheesh!) - but for now, what we are doing, and have been doing for the last few apartments, is we hang a wire basket over the sink - or in the case of this last apartment, since there is a window over the sink, attach it to the windowsill with screws, almost like an old style bicycle basket. The dishes drain into the sink. We help to funnel the water into the sink with a dish rack 'tray' that you buy in Target made by like Rubbermaid or something. It sort of sits at an angle like a slide under the basket, and leans up against the faucets. Voila. No wasted space. We are getting pretty good at this, but I sure love the ideas I get on this blog!!!

I feel that apartment dwelling in cities does provide a lot of inspiration to become more efficient. And shame on those of you who say "Hey, a dishrack is only $10- I can throw it away and get a new one" when that old one just adds to our landfills. Don't buy it if you're just planning on throwing it out in a year or two!! Buy it or build it to last!

Thanks for the photo of the Italian cabinet, I really love it!
