Consider glass-front cabinets. They provide great incentives for
forcing you — and your family — to be organized. Any clutter or
dishware put back in the wrong place will be visible. Try storing
everyday dinnerware above the work surface, while hiding the clutter of
pots and pans behind closed doors.

stainless-steel wire mesh trolleys by Metro shelving and get a big slab
of stone, or butcher block to put on top." —Birch Coffey

"Find attractive containers for all those items on the kitchen
counter. I'm thinking white modern canisters for flour, sugar, pasta,
with a matching tray for oils and vinegars." —Penny Drue Baird

Double everyday items as stylish storage. Bread baskets, water
pitchers, and large mixing bowls are just some of the functional kitchen
objects that can serve as convenient containers when not in use.
