Forgive my utter ignorance on this matter but.. do you want to put a magnetic strip so close to the outlet? Does it interfere with plugs on an electrical level because I know it might stick to a dangling plug cord.
Otherwise, as usual, I adore your changes. You really do clever work on a budget.

atrophie, you should definitely override your BF on the chrome cart vs. wooden bench. That cart is ugly and your bench idea would be more useful. Heck, you could probably "comprise" by taking (or chopping up) that cart and using it for baskets under the wooden bench. :)
As for permanent changes to the apartments, most companies aren't going to like that (at least none around my area of the country). However if you are prepared to undo those changes before you leave and if they management doesn't require regular access to the apartment... you could try doing it on the sly.
Magnetic paint/primer has been discussed on Curbly before; from Myaimistrue's writeup, it sounds like it's a fairly weak magnetic force.

OH OH OH!! You don't have to put up a magnetic thingy! They make magnetic primer that you can paint over! Granted, I haven't used it so maybe it wouldn't be strong enough, but you could easily ask someone at HD about it if they carry it... HERE is one brand that I know of that has all kinds of specialty paints (chalkboard, neon, magnetic, etc)
It might be kind of nifty to have the little tools just floating on the wall!

I really like the bar pull. It does put the other one to shame. And the silverware is hot. Is it weighty? I like silverware that you can really tell you're holding. On the backsplash/cutting board I'm just wondering if you do a mosaic on there, can you still put stuff on there safely? For instance if it has a lot of crevices and you put meat on there, will it clean well?
