COOL USES FOR YOUR KITCHEN DRAWERS, CABINETS & SPACES: IDEAS 1 & 2

A kitchen has many nooks and spaces that can be optimized for utilization. Odd or even spaces can be a bonus for storage and work space. Have a wall that is just holding a photo? Convert it into a Butler's pantry.

Convert your closet into a customized pantry. Shelves allow for extra food storage, special serving dishes and cooking appliances. I love the pull out drawers where you can store linens, place mats or odd shaped kitchen tools!

Need some privacy and have some extra wall space? Add some cabinets, desk, cubbies and lights and voila! You now have your own office.

COOL USES FOR YOUR KITCHEN DRAWERS, CABINETS & SPACES: IDEAS 3 & 4

Now this is what I'm talking about. A pet friendly island! The bowls have been elevated from the floor to avoid dust and dirt. They clean be easily removed to wash them. Love the bone handle pulls for dog food, toys or treats. Easily converted to the felines in your household.

How cute is this? Converting a space in your kitchen into a private retreat for your furry children. Let's face it, your pets are always by your side. Life becomes easier when you create a "safe haven" in your kitchen for them to hang out and watch you cook. No accidently stepping on tootsies!

COOL USES FOR YOUR KITCHEN DRAWERS, CABINETS & SPACES: IDEAS 5 & 6

This drawer is on organized overload and it's fantastic! Your kitchen utensils, forks, knives, spoons co-habitat but in separate compartments. GENIUS!

Love the fact that this drawer has dividers and you do not have to stack your "stuff" on top of one another always forgetting what's in on the bottom. Another bonus, you can use that seldom used drawer for your items you do not use on a daily basis. Making life easier in your kitchen.
