After months of pondering about improved storage and organization in our kitchen, I finally went to Ikea last week and did something about it! First, I picked up this handy magnetic knife rack. Rob came up with the great idea to place it inside a cabinet door (so you do not come in the kitchen and see a wall full of sharp knives...a bit intimidating!). This freed up a nice chunk of real estate on the counter next to our stove, as the knife block I have, while really nice, takes up a lot of room! This is much better!
Onto the back of the kitchen...we had lots of usable wall space above our table and chairs that I was craving better function for. I picked up 2 more Grundtal shelves at Ikea to join the one we already had...and presto! More storage that was desperately needed! It was inexpensive and makes use of wall space that was going to waste!
I love the ability to use these shelves as shelves, but also the ability to hang utensils, etc. from them. So clever...I am so glad I got more of these! You may recall that I have one hanging over my window by our sink...it is a shelf and doubles as a curtain rod(http://kristinandrobs.blogspot.com/2008/10/idea-from-better-homes-and-gardens.html ).
I just love double duty solutions! :)
