VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
To maximize storage in a small kitchen start with the little things. Make a cookie sheet rack by mounting two towel bars on the inside of a base cabinet door with a small shelf between them to support the pans. Just be sure the mounting screws don’t protrude through the front of the cabinet door.
For wall cabinets you can create some handy spice storage around the perimeter of a cabinet on a small shelf made from one by three stock to make more space for dishes.
Hello. I have kitchen cabinets that have that open lip on top of the cabinet. I hate cleaning it and want to know how to close off just the lip on top, not sure what the proper name is for that?
I will keep the space to make storage on top of that. Its the fur down.
