Ahh, the classic IKEA cube bookshelf (also known as the Kallax bookshelf if you want to get technical here). This bad boy has been through countless moves, a rotation of different colored storage cubes, and endless abuse after being knocked around different apartments. In it’s “before” state, it’s possibly one of the saddest looking pieces of furniture I own. I mean, just look at this hideous before photo….
One thing I’ve noticed since getting into cooking is that a ton of recipes call for herbs, and those herbs are usually what makes the food taste extra delicious. But I was always so lazy and cheap, did I really need to buy an entire bunch of parsley or basil just to use it as a garnish? Ugh, so wasteful. But once I gave in and stopped foregoing the herbs (read: got a real job after college), I realized what I was missing.
