We love our kitchen and all of the changes that we have made to make it truly fit our tastes and needs.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We use every inch of the cabinet space that is available and even reworked our laundry closet into a shared laundry\/pantry<\/a> just to get some more storage space for food, etc. Recently, we figured out a great IKEA hack that was a perfect answer to how to add more storage in our the kitchen.\u00a0 It was such an easy fix, and I use it every single day.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Cabinet<\/h3>\n

(Sorry for the messy iphone photo, right before we installed I remember I needed to take a before.)<\/em><\/p>\n

When Mom was here in the fall, she mentioned that we had some wasted space at the end of our cabinets that face our living room. She knows how we value storage around here, especially with a toddler added to the mix.\u00a0 Mom suggested that Yankee build a book shelf on the end of the cabinet for my cookbooks.\u00a0 I thought it was a great idea.\u00a0 There are certain cookbooks that I use over and over again, and having them near and handy would be a bonus.\u00a0 Yankee and I discussed the style of shelves he could build, when he could do it, how he could do it, etc.\u00a0 Then I made a brilliant discovery that gave us an entirely different approach to the project.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"How<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Instead of building shelves, we bought shelves that were already constructed.\u00a0 And instead of buying a massive shelf which was our first idea, we simplified things and bought three of these spice shelves at IKEA.\u00a0 They cost just $3.99, each.\u00a0 Then I painted each one of them white using just a can of spray paint.\u00a0 These shelves are sturdy and can easily hold two or three cookbooks within easy reach.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Yankee attached them to the end of the cabinet, and we had almost instant cookbook storage.\u00a0 This project was easy, fast, inexpensive, and useful.\u00a0 What more could you want when doing a DIY project?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I am so happy that we made this small improvement that had such a big impact on our daily routine.\u00a0 There are certain cookbooks that I use frequently, and having them so handy makes such an improvement.\u00a0 I no longer need to go to our bookshelves in the playroom and search for a certain cookbook when I need a recipe.\u00a0 My favorite go-to books are now right where I need them and can find them.\u00a0 Maybe it will give you some ideas about adding more storage in your own kitchens.\u00a0 Take a look around.\u00a0 Do you have a cabinet that has some space to spare?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"How<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Happy cooking.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n
