How This Genius Wayfair Stove Shelf Added Instant Counter Space to My Tiny New York City Kitchen

A kitchen with a small oven, decor on the countertops, and a vintage watercolor painting hanging on the wall .

I recently moved from the suburbs of New Jersey to New York City, and while I couldn't be more excited to be back living in what feels like the center of the universe, I've had to make quite a few sacrifices to do so. I've come to terms with the fact that my 'bedroom' and my 'living room' are literally inches apart from each other, but one thing I'm still struggling with is the size of my tiny kitchen. My New Jersey taught me a thing or two about navigating a small kitchen, but small by suburbs standard would be considered total luxury in the city. In my new space, I am tackling very limited counter spaces, and as a keen cook and someone who likes to style a countertop for character as well as practicality, I was stumped as to how to keep anything on display when space was so tight. That's when I came across the small kitchen storage idea I didn't know I needed, the heaven-sent answer to my calls for help – Wayfair's Over-The-Stove Shelf.
