Life in the kitchen: simplified and organized<br />
How ShelfGenie<br />
saved one kitchen<br />
and can save yours<br />
Amanda Stoll, 22CMBoost<br />
Fed up with unloading<br />
cabinets and struggling<br />
to reach cookware cornered<br />
on shelves, Priscilla<br />
needed a magician — or a<br />
genie.<br />
ShelfGenie simple custom<br />
kitchen-organization<br />
system solved Priscilla’s<br />
kitchen woes.<br />
Priscilla contacted<br />
ShelfGenie for a complimentary<br />
in-home design<br />
consultation, and the session<br />
couldn’t have gone<br />
better, she said, adding that<br />
she was impressed the designer<br />
listened and understood<br />
her frustration and<br />
needs and was ready with<br />
MKT-5894G-A-A1<br />
suggestions specific to her<br />
space.<br />
ShelfGenie’s custommade<br />
Glide-outs were<br />
measured and built to fit<br />
into her existing cabinets<br />
and pantries without requiring<br />
any remodeling.<br />
The installation went<br />
extremely well.<br />
“He was clean, he was<br />
efficient [and] he cleaned<br />
up after the job was done,”<br />
Priscilla said about Chris,<br />
who installed her shelves<br />
in less than one day.<br />
After organizing her<br />
newly revamped kitchen<br />
spaces, Priscilla embraced<br />
an entirely different and<br />
simpler experience in her<br />
kitchen. Everything she<br />
needs is now right at her<br />
fingertips and doesn’t require<br />
her getting on her<br />
knees or require her to<br />
wrestle things from the<br />
back.<br />
“In one section where<br />
my pots and pans were, I<br />
used to have to take just<br />
about the whole stack of<br />
pans out to get to the one<br />
that’s in the middle or that<br />
one that’s at the bottom,<br />
and the pans were very<br />
heavy,” she said. “So now<br />
I have two drawers: one is<br />
pots, and the other is pans.<br />
“It has just simplified<br />
my life.”<br />
Before the ShelfGenie<br />
drawers were installed,<br />
Priscilla was working with<br />
wire shelving in her pantries,<br />
while smaller items,<br />
such as zip-top baggies<br />
and plastic wrap, were<br />
stored in less-than-ideal<br />
cardboard boxes.<br />
Housing canned goods<br />
in a more convenient space<br />
is just one of many examples<br />
of how ShelfGenie<br />
Ready for life's milestones?<br />
Let's plan.<br />

has improved the functionality<br />
of Priscilla’s kitchen.<br />
It has trimmed her time<br />
prepping and organizing<br />
so she can get back to what<br />
she enjoys most: cooking<br />
and spending time in the<br />
kitchen with her family.<br />
The ShelfGenie Glideouts<br />
have given her back<br />
a lot of space she lost to<br />
inefficiency, so now even<br />
more items, such as water<br />
bottles and drinks that<br />
were stored in the basement,<br />
can be stored in the<br />
kitchen where they belong.<br />
With the amount of time<br />
spent Priscilla spends with<br />
her family in the kitchen,<br />
she said the drawers are<br />
“worth their weight in<br />
gold.”<br />
“I’m just thrilled with<br />
them. I’m just thrilled,”<br />
she said. “I feel organized.<br />
I can see things, and I can<br />
get at things. It’s just a<br />
real, real good day every<br />
day. Every day is a good<br />
day in my kitchen. It’s not<br />
frustrating anymore.”<br />
