All About…

Paper Towel Holder

To free up extra counter space, a cabinet door-mounted paper towel holder was added to one of the kitchen's base cabinets. This is an easy way to save space without any handy skills; the holder simply clips to the top of the cabinet door and holds itself in place.

Spice Jars

Spice jars with chalkboard fronts allow Sarah and John to note which spices are contained within each jar. By choosing jars in the same green accent color used throughout the space, they double as decoration.

Pan Racks

Reaching for and sorting through pans can be irritating — especially inside of extra-deep base cabinets. Make life easier by installing upright pan racks, which use vertical space rather than the base cabinet's depth.

Wire Racks

Shelving space inside Sarah and John's wall-mounted cabinets is maximized with stackable wire racks. The racks come in different heights and widths, and they allow various sizes of plates to be stacked neatly within the same cabinet.
