behind closed doors

….you never know what goes on or what wonderful storage secrets are behind those closed doors. Beautiful cabinet doors set the feel for your whole kitchen but it is the interiors of the cabinets that make YOUR life easier. Below are a few of my favorite “behind closed doors” storage/organizing solutions.

Self-closing doors….sounds lazy but it’s oh so nice to give it a nudge and know that all those drawers are back nice and neat and little to no flour all over the hardware.

Slotted cabinets…a must for cookie sheets, serving trays, unusual shaped dishes, make sure you have some extra wide slots; I keep a shallow but very large round pasta bowl in mine.

Cook top drawers deep drawers underneath the cook top keep pots and pans hidden but easily accessible.

Spice drawer make yours vertical or horizontal these areas are great for grouping all your spices.

Dish Drawers... I am so excited about these…I am the one who empties the dishwasher and then lifts the dishes up over my head…I’m only 5’3” … to put them away.  I can’t wait to use the dish drawers, pull the drawer out and set them in. No more hits in the head from a stray cereal bowl!
