KITCHEN STORAGE
hen it comes to the kitchen, you can never have too
n-ruch storage. But after every available cabinet, drawer,
and scrap of countertop space is crammed with pots,
pans, dishes, and utensils, one simple question renrains:
where do you find nrore space?
This qr.restion kicked offa recent Workberrlr project
designers' nreetin€i, and the solution our designers
canre Lrp with was ingenious - create lnore storage
by trtilizing t1.re space ilnderneath the cabinets.
Drop-Down Trays - In this kitchen, we've
mounted four storage trays in that under-cabinet space.
These trays pull open like regular drawers, but then they
drop dotun at an angle and lock in place, putting spices,
kr-rives, or yoLlr favorite recipe right at hand.
How It'Works - -Ib see how this wor*s, take a look
atthe Illustratior below. Notice that therei a plastic shelf
suppolt mounted in each side ofthe cray.These shelfsupports
slide in gnroves cut in the rails that enclose the urut.
When you pull the tray all the way out, the shelf sr"rpports
pivot, allowing the tray to tilt down.
Custom Storage -,\5 xn option, you can add
dividers that organize the space inside the trays for
spices, knives, and other ttems (see pages 74-76).
lf you think there's no more storoge spoce in your
kitchen - think ogoin. These unique koys pull out
like drowers ond then "drop down" of on ongle to
keep spices, knives, ond other items close ot hond.
