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 />
