There are many attractive and inexpensive storage containers at home stores. Don't limit yourself; you can also find great-looking organizers at basket stores, craft shops, and flea markets. Here are some ideas.
- Plastic bins for fruits and vegetables come in many colors and can be stacked on a counter or the floor.
- A plastic-covered wire roll-around cart can hold anything from dish towels to cookbooks and can be moved from one work area to another -- or out of sight into a closet.
- A wooden or wire rack installed in a deep cupboard or under a counter suspends stemware by its bottom and saves shelf space.
- A freestanding cabinet with a butcher-block top and a cupboard underneath gives you more counter space as well as more storage.
- A folding bookcase can fit in the extra foot of space at one end of a kitchen counter or island and hold
a good selection of cookbooks.
