Kitchen Organization Tips and Tricks

Another tip: In many kitchens, there is a space between the stove & wall or between a cabinet and stove. All kinds of things fall in this gap in addition to dirt. Correct this problem-1) Create a cupboard by using both the appliance, the floor, the back wall, & the other wall on the right, for example. 2) Make a top of cabinet by measuring the distance between the appliance & wall, 3) Now make a wood frame to hold a narrow thin, door-
(made out of plywood) frame for a handmade door, 4) Attach 2 or 3 small hinges, 5) The frame can be painted or stained, 6) The frame on the front will act as the 4th wall. As this cupboard wouldn’t have to take a super amount of abuse, the frame doesn’t need to be super heavy 7) Great way for storing a hand broom & dust pan. Then, it is always at your finger tips & not buried in your closet with your regular sized broom, dust pan, & vacuum cleaner. 8) Granted when pulling out the appliance, it will have to be pulled out very slowly & straight out but this is now very rare. **** To add to this, make a narrow piece of wood to just lay between the back of the stove & wall. No frame is needed as the stove and wall holds it in place. All you need to remember is not to place anything heavy, if anything at all on this shelf & when removing the stove for servicing or cleaning purpose, remove the shelf first. Makes a huge difference in the kitchen.
