tom tooma-tricks for kitchens

# Tuck pantry food items inside decorative furnishings, like a crock. # Think on a smaller scale: consider a mini-version of a walk-in pantry. # Take 12″ out of hallway width for pantry shelves. # Recycle wooden crates from wine, mount to walls as a shelf (can get free from wine stores or superstores).

# Make a skinny box on wheels next to empty space next to your refrigerator (same height) that can wheel out. # Use over-the-door racks for extra storage on closet doors. For very narrow doors, take a hanging shoe pouch for over-doors and cut to fit.
