5 Tips to Organize Your Kitchen

With spring here, it is that time again for reorganization! Did you ever think of some of these tips to create space in your kitchen?

_______________________________________________

1. Paper Towel Cubby

If you don't want your paper towel roll to be very noticeable, remove a drawer and install a paper towel holder in its place.

_____________________________ __________________

2. Hidden Cutting Board

Add work surface to your kitchen by having the cutting board slide out.

_______________________________________________

3. Pull-Out Pantry

If you have an awkward, slender space that you don't know what to do with, consider transforming it into a pull-out pantry component.

_______________________________________________

4. Produce Bins

For produce that doesn't require refrigeration, store them in vented produce bins in your cabinet space.

_______________________________________________

5. Recycling Center

A small recycling center in the kitchen makes it easy to be green. Create separate bins for glass, paper, plastic, and tin, making sorting a breeze for trash day.
