Plastic back splash beside the stove
 
Clock mounted to be visible from the rDome.  Used velcro Command strips.
For privacy when travelling with friends, we used a spring-loaded bathroom cutain rod and a cut-down shower curtain.  Bette sewed a (loose) rod pocket to eliminate  the groumets.
Command hook next to door for the dog's leash and two Command hooks to hold a coat/hat rack on the wall above the switches for the slider, heater, etc. Since this picture we mounted a cut down over-the-door shoe organizer below the switches.
Picture shows when I paste it, but not after posting. 
 
Mirror (48") on the outside of the bathroom door
 
A paper towel holder mounted with molly fasteners (a.k.a. hollow door anchors) and a Command hook to hang the sink cover which doubles as a splash guard.
 
3 compartment dispenser (soap, shampoo, conditioner) in corner of shower.

I don't know what happened. I was resizing the picture and suddenly it posted.
I made corrections as you suggested.  Thanks.

You can go into the "Post Options" to the upper-right of your post and edit it if you want.

I wanted to make a stove cover like other podders have done but I came upon an easier solution when walking through WalMart.  I purchased a wooden 16x20 galley tray with 2" sides, flipped it over to cover the stove and added a cutting board.   Works for me.

Sounds like a nice simple solution. Counter space, however you get it, is really a useful addition to the Pod.

Actually, that was very clever of you!  And you saved yourself a whole lot of time and work.

The backsplash is from Home Depot and is mounted with Command strips so it can be exchanged for a new one someday. I was going to use a tin foil oven liner but we could not get them to stick and this looks far nicer even though it was more expensive.
I found I could peel off the warnings and placed them on the back wall instead.
