Because I’ve lived in very tiny apartments for many years I had to be very creative to make space in my kitchen. One trick that works great for me for plates is using the lids organizer and putting plates in vertical position instead of flat. You won’t have empty spaces in between and can use the whole area. And is much easier put in or take out. And hanging all my small measuring cups in the inside side of cabinet door is a win win. Always at hand just by the stove. Just some extra ideas.

In reply to Gale. That is correct! Mine is a broiler. BUT as far as storing spices near the stove/oven… she may want to read up on that because heat breaks down your spices and they are not as useful for cooking.

In reply to Eugenia R. In my kitchen most of what you suggested sounds great but does not work in my kitchen but thank you for your suggestions anyway.

In reply to Wendy Gordon. Sometimes it just takes a reminder that something else would be better. :D

I’m remodeling my small kitchen and will have TONS more storage space AND a pantry! I’m thinking about where I’ll put stuff after the remodel to be most efficient. Your mention of storing the colanders near the sink is genius! Duh! Currently, I’m constantly having to go to a distant cupboard to retrieve one!

Add me to the “bottoms down” glasses storage camp.

I LOVE changing out my quilts and pillows in FOUR bedrooms so I soon found out that my idea for big plastic bins stored in the 3 car garage , wasn’t working. So now, I found these tall large self racks….and I hope the hands,man can figure out how to put it together. If it works , I will get more. I need large shelves for my king quilts, blankets , and I think the pillows can stay in bins. I plant to drape old sheets over the top of the big racks.

Wish me luck.

Re the debate about correct way to store glasses and mugs. I store mine bottom up. That way the less often used items don’t lose there gloss when you get them out for occasional use – say when you have a family group round.
Before I stored top up and would then need to rewash before using.
Hope this helps if anyone still undecided.
Re previous comment about putting fingers in drinking vessels: this is horrible and I cannot enjoy drink if I see this happening. Do not understand why some think this is appropriate behaviour!!

In reply to Rebecca Pennington. I love purging things and a move is the perfect time to do that! That's awesome that you've found a new use for something special :)
