If your kitchen is too small to accommodate a table and chairs permanently, install a pull-out extension table or workspace that slides back into a drawer." Or, make a flip-up counter and eating area that folds back down when not in use. To make the most of available space when storing tapered glassware, position every other glass upside down. If your dishpan leaks, don t throw it away. Use it as an under-the-sink storage bin for waxes, brushes, and soaps. It will slide in and out like a drawer. If you keep your brooms, mops, and buckets hanging on hooks inside the broom closet they won't fall every time you open the door.
You can cut counter clutter with stackable plastic canisters or a 4-in-l turntable canister. Purchase food storage containers that do several jobs. Freezer-to-oven casserole dishes are more useful than freezer containers that store casseroles adequately but can't be used in the oven. A wall-hung canvas "apron" with lots of pockets makes a decorative holder for all sorts of kitchen gadgets and utensils.
If you hang your sharp knives inside or on the side of a high cabinet, you'll save drawer space and keep these utensils out of the children's reach. Use the plastic lids that come with some tins as separators when you freeze hamburger patties. If you don't have cabinet space for your pots and pans, put a small wooden ladder painted to match your kitchen-in a corner and place the pots and pans on the steps.
To economize on drawer space, arrange wooden spoons and other utensils bouquet-style in a handsome pitcher, canister, or wooden bucket near the range or on the counter. If you lack drawer space for kitchen linens and towels, store them in pretty baskets on the counter. Floor tiles make perfect linings for pantiy shelves. They last longer than self-adhesive paper and are easier to fit in place.
Staple plastic berry baskets to the pantiy wall or the inside of a cabinet door to hold small packages of sauce mixes, seasonings, and cold drink mixes. If your kitchen and dining room area are combined and you dislike looking at the pots and pans while you eat, install a ceiling-hung Venetian blind to separate the two areas. Organize your kitchen so that the items you use every day are within easy reach.
Since pots, pans, and casseroles can be heavy, store them at lower levels to avoid having to reach up for them. Hanging mugs on cup hooks underneath your cabinets saves shelf space. To save space in the kitchen, hang pots, pans, and other items from the ceiling. Use hooks meant for hanging swag lamps and screw them directly into the joists.
