Kitchen modifications

Sabbatical is a great time to finish all the things that we were just too busy to do. First was adding some storage for all the cutting boards and bakeware. We bought these Copco storage racks from Crate and Barrel but you can find them a little bit cheaper at Amazon.

We had to go with these removable racks because our cabinet has an electrical box and conduit in it that prevents us from mounting something more permanent.

Here's the finished product. So much better.

Here's another project that we've been meaning to do since we moved into the house. Here are the existing garbage cans. Notice they are square in shape so they only hold 27 qt. Also, with this design you have to open the door all the way and then slide the cans out.

Here are the new cans. These are 35 qt each and the door mounts directly to the system so you only have to pull the door open and everything opens up. This is a Rev a Shelf storage solution. Fairly easy to install but you need to make sure you order the right version to fit your cabinet opening.

Wow! I'm impressed! I love it when these "little" things make you smile every day when you are using them. It is also really great when someone from out of town visits and is willing to put more permanent spacers in the cupboard to hold those baking pans and cutting boards upright! (smile here)
