Hey shakia I'm so sorry I missed it

[@simplytina5627]

You’re so lucky you got a one bedroom! I just got approved for housing connect and I got a studio but I do love it

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thank youuuu 🥰 ayee congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾 I’m glad you enjoy it 💯❤️

How long it took

I just viewed the apartment last Friday and I’m so hype. Was asked to either accept or deny the apartment after viewing and now waiting for lease after some more submitted signed documents. It’s so beautiful tooooooo

[@donnaleonard276]

1/22/24 A huge! Congratulations on ur apartment. U can lift the top shelf where ur cereal is. Move the pegs on each side up a notch or two. Be blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💜 U should never put Pots, Pans, plastic containers. Under the sink. The pipes will cause dampness and water spots/ stains. Sometimes the pipes leak and they Will' cause them water/ sweating damage. I'm 68 yrs. Young and have No' reason to lie to u. Cleaning supplies only darling. Be blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💜

[@ShakiaSimmons]

❤️❤️ thank you so much okay thank you for that I didn’t know that I could move the pegs. But yes I would definitely move the pots over to the other cabinet 💯💯 and thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly I prefer cleaning supplies under the sink I do not like putting food or pots and pans under the sink ….especially if something happens like a water leak etc

[@mansfield821]

I love the security especially!

[@ShakiaSimmons]

[@lisaswinson2102]

Congratulations. Put your cleaning supplies under sink and you have adjustable shelves. So you can actually place that shelf on the bottom and place your pots and pans organizer on top.

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Great idea!!

Put the cleaning supplies under the sink and just take the shelf out the other cabinet that way you can put the organizer in that cabinet

[@andrezelvin3607]

Hi, I just ran accross your apartment tour when I was looking for others who got housing lottery apartments. I'm still in review for one. I really enjoyed your delight over arranging your kitchen. I say, be strong and don't let anyone else tell you where to put your things. Your pots go where you want them so they are convenient when you want to cook and your cleaning supplies go where you want them so they are convenient when you want to clean. I'm also short. I have both next to each other in a cabinet under my sink. Because that works for me. Don't worry what other people think. Put your things where they work best for you, and move them if you want to try another place. Let other people put *their* cleaning supplies where it works for them. Keep enjoying your new home :)

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Heyyy ❤️❤️ im happy your in a review for an housing lottery ❤️ but thanks so much for this I needed this advice 💯🩷 and thank so much 🩷

[@shawnjackson6242]

Congrats here’s a hint try to put pots pans in lower cabinet close to stove where you cook pots and pans tend be heavy and pulling them down from high shelf could be disastrous GOD BLESS don’t be afraid to shop second hand stores to tastefully decorate your home without breaking the bank

[@mariesweeney340]

Love your apartment! Keep the cleaning products under the sink and the pots in the other lower cabinet.

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thanks 💕 and thanks for the suggestion

[@khadijahbell7196]

Cleanin stuff always goes under the sink pots go next to the stove or the drawer at the bottom of the oven or leave the pots on top of the stoveee

[@courtneygreen8216]

I’m so happy for you love it girl 🥰

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thankyouuu🥳💕

[@lql1094]

You can adjust the shelf height in the top cupboards.

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Okay I’ll definitely do that ❤️

[@Babyface4]

Congrats Queen

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thank you so much 🥰🎊

[@KishaPaul]

Under the sink. Put them wherever you like and can reach easily.

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Yeah 💯

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thanks luv congrats to you too ☺️😜 yasss hunnnay & yes I’m always down to Collab 🥰

[@ell_emm_ohh]

Big congrats on your new journey. My opinion is to keep the shelves you can't reach as a place to put things that are not often used. I know many people keep their cleaning stuff under the sink but do what works best for you

[@ShakiaSimmons]

Thank you ❤️ so much luv I appreciate you sm 💞💞 and yes I’m definitely going to put some of my cleaning products under the sink and put my pots in the other cabinett.

Dont use under the sink storage or draws bcuz your neighbors will bring roaches. I moved into one of the new buildings and other tenants brought roaches. I got rid of the roaches but im haunted by what happened. If you have another place to store cleaning supplies and cookware please do it.
