Another Idea for a Deep Drawer

By | Weekly Tip | No Comments

January Newsletter

Looking From Above

At the end of last year I started talking about the current trends I’m seeing in newer homes.
One of them was deep cupbards and the other was deep drawers.
This month I’m going to keep that theme with one more idea for deeper
drawers. This is specifically for those drawers that aren’t deep enough
for baking sheets and frying pans, but is deep enough that items could still
get lost. What is it?

Label the top of your cans and store them in a deep drawer

I utilized this idea in a kitchen that had deep pantry cupboards where
items frequently got lost in the mess. We used bins for the pantry
items and moved the canned goods down to one of the lower drawers.
This way, all that they have can be seen and nothing is getting lost in the
back. AND they don’t have to dig around just to find the corn!

What To Do With a Deep Drawer

By | Weekly Tip | No Comments

Deep Drawer Dilemma?

Along with the deep pantry shelves (October’s newsletter theme)
another trend I see quite a bit in newer kitchens is a deep drawer (or 2, or 3…).
If you have a similar drawer in your kitchen,
here’s one way to utilize the space without sacrificing the depth of the drawer:

Use lid dividers for pans and baking sheets

This is the ideal solution for really deep drawers. It’s almost like
they were made for them!No more stacking baking sheets and nesting pans –
now they can be stored upright so you can access them easily.

If you have a deep drawer in your kitchen, this is one easy and creative way to utilize every square inch.

A Not-So-Lazy Organizing Product to use in Deep Cupboards

By | Weekly Tip | No Comments

A Double Dose of a Lazy Susan

Deep cupboards are a blessing and a curse. They can hold so much but it’s so easy to lose items in the back and forget they’re even there? (hello wasted money and a major purge of expired items in the future)
This is one tip I love to use when the space is right, and my clients have loved it too:

Use 2 Lazy Susans in the cupboard

Place one turntable in front of the other, slightly off centered so you can see the turntable in the back and have easy access to the items being held on it. Make sure it can spin easily because that is the way you’re going to see what you have without having to remove or move around the items that are in front. This works for cooking oils, condiments, spices or whatever else you may have in those cupboards. It’s a great way to make use of the depth without fear of forgetting what you have in the back.
