Real-Life Kitchen Makeover
After: Hidden and Open Storage
Stash zone. A puzzle-tight pattern of hooks and holders utilizes every inch of this cabinet (spices were relocated; see next page), with
spots for keys, cameras, scissors, and glue. Wendy keeps school directories and other papers that formerly cluttered the refrig-erator
in the wall pockets below.
Message center. A wall-mounted organizer and a kitchen cart make a non-area work hard. Wendy uses the bulletin board to hold to-dos and gift
cards. The small bamboo newspaper caddy is also ideal for to-be-mailed bills, and key rings and money clips can stick to its
magnetic surface.
Purposeful pantry. The family goes through a lot of cereal; clear bins let Wendy know when to restock. A charging station keeps gadgets juiced,
and a hand vacuum rescued from the garage is at the ready. Wine bottles previously scattered around the kitchen stay secure
in a floor rack.
