Kitchen Inspiration
Rich wood cabinets and door trim enhance this custom kitchen.
Rich, dark wood cabinets are a dramatic contrast with the light finish on the floor and the dark  counter tops. All the cabinets were built in our own cabinet shop with custom pullouts.

Kitchen Organization I02
Continue Your Remodel Progress With De-cluttering Day Two.

If you haven't started with your de-cluttering pull out the previous newsletter Kitchen Organization 101 and begin. Then find time for day two as outlined below.
  1. Seldom-used items, such as serving pieces, platters, & trays could be placed high in an upper cabinet or even in a cabinet or closet in another room.  Hang utensils, pots, and pans you use all the time on the wall or from a pot rack. This tends to make a small space look more cluttered and smaller, but it may be the best option for increasing your work space and making it more functional.
  2. Remove duplicates. Do you really need six potato peelers or pancake turners? Keep one or two of the best and get rid of the rest.
  3. Double useful space by adding pull-out drawers in base cabinets, or in full-depth upper cabinets like the one above a refrigerator, or by adding fold-out shelves in a pantry. These solutions allow you to easily reach items in the back of cabinets-usually unused or inefficiently used space. The toe-kick space under base cabinets can be utilized to accommodate inconspicuous drawers, providing storage for such things as serving trays, or a pop-up step stool. 
  4. Install new lighting, under cabinets or a strategically-placed pendant light to increase focused task lighting where you need it most.  
  5. Install an island if your kitchen is large enough. Even a small island on wheels can provide valuable work space when you really want it, and can be used as a side board or buffet in a dining room. If you're not sure if you have space for one, make a prototype of the top out of cardboard, place it on something the right height, and see if it works in your kitchen.
    Upper cabinets can add drama with interior lighting, accent colored glass and custom pulls. 
  6. Locate new space for small appliances, look for other places for them to live. How about a dining room drink-station for a coffee maker, electric tea pot, etc.  If the only time you drink coffee or tea is in the morning when you first wake up, consider putting the coffee maker & tea pot in the master suite. Appliances that you only use once a month or so could be stored in lower cabinets on pull-out trays and only brought out when you need them.
  7. Throw out expired items like any old flour, grains, spices or mixes that you don't remember buying.
