How ShelfGenie<br />

saved one kitchen<br />

and can save others<br />

Fed up with unloading<br />

cabinets and struggling to<br />

reach cookware cornered<br />

on shelves, Priscilla needed<br />

a magician — or a 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 />

suggestions specific to her<br />

space.<br />

ShelfGenie’s custommade<br />

Glide-outs were measured<br />

and built to fit into<br />

her existing cabinets and<br />

pantries without requiring<br />

any remodeling.<br />

The installation went<br />

extremely well. “He was<br />

clean, he was efficient<br />

[and] he cleaned up after<br />

the job was done,” Priscilla<br />

said about Chris, who installed<br />

her shelves in less<br />

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 wrestling things<br />

from the back.<br />

“In one section where<br />

my pots and pans were,<br />

I 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 my<br />

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 and<br />

plastic wrap, were stored in<br />

less-than-ideal cardboard<br />

boxes.<br />

Housing canned goods in<br />

a more convenient space is<br />

just one of many examples<br />

of how ShelfGenie has improved<br />

the functionality of<br />

Priscilla’s kitchen. It has<br />

trimmed her time prepping<br />

and organizing so she can<br />

get back to what she enjoys<br />

most: cooking and spending<br />

time in the kitchen with<br />

her family.<br />

The ShelfGenie Glideouts<br />

have given her back a<br />

lot of space she lost to inefficiency,<br />

so now even more<br />

items, such as water bottles<br />

and drinks that were stored<br />

in the basement, can be<br />

stored in the kitchen where<br />

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 real,<br />

real good day every day.<br />

Every day is a good day in<br />

my kitchen. It’s not frustrating<br />

anymore.”<br />

ShelfGenie offers an<br />

extensive line of custombuilt,<br />

Glide-Out shelves<br />

Out shelves for their bathroom<br />
