If there’s a small corner in the kitchen not being utilized and you’d give your right arm for more cabinet space, try a vertical shelf for pots. Works especially well if you have a colorful assortment of cookware!
There are SO many things I love about repurposed card catalogs:
- I am a huge bibliophile, so anything related to books, count me in.
- All of those drawers…AH!
- Multi-purposeful: Great for storing bottles of wine, tchoskies, extra stuff, putting a flower pot in…the possibilities are endless :)
- Snatching one up at Goodwill is easy and inexpensive. A coat of paint can change the whole look. Space for labels, my bff…
Seriously, why WOULDN’T anyone NOT want one of their own?!
