Hanging Pot Rack in a Small Kitchen

Last week I did a post on hanging pot racks, which featured mostly large kitchens.  This kitchen below shows how a hanging pot rack can be integrated into smaller quarters:

It works here because there’s free wall space, as in the pots aren’t blocking any cabinet doors.  They do look quite high up there though, so I’m guessing the homeowner keeps a step stool handy :)

Organized Drawers – Clear Dividers

When it comes to organizing drawers, dividers are key for keeping like items together and neatly contained {so they don’t spill over}. My favorite are clear organizer sets, like this one, this one, and this one, that can be arranged whichever way fit best in the drawer. Since they’re transparent, they’re also great for showing off a pretty drawer liner.

uten.silo organizer

Have seen the iconic uten.silo organizer (first created in 1969!) in various spaces and always think it looks cool and practical. All the little pockets are so great for organizing and making easily accessible all the small items that might not otherwise have a home.

It’s a bit pricey though. I wonder how difficult it’d be to create an inspired DIY version…hmmm…

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

Love the idea of using a pegboard to organize pots, pans and other kitchen items. This is great for people who have wall space but a lack of cabinetry. Not only is it functional, but it looks great too. The hanging items add a graphic element and become part of the decor. Form and function.

This beautifully organized vanity has a flip top that reveals a mirrored underside and built in compartments that neatly house makeup. Clear acrylic trays atop the vanity keep essentials in order.

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

This week’s beautifully organized space is from Caroline‘s tiny 475 sqft studio apartment. I love how she maximized storage potential by using over the door shoe racks to organize her collection of shoes. Don’t they look so pretty arranged by color?

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

Loving these beautifully organized kitchen shelves from the home of Alexx and Paul featured in issue 7 of Covet Garden. Particularly drawn to the repurposed similarly sized glass jars which hold spices idenitifed with handwritten labels. So perfectly imperfect -charming and homey :)

Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

This week’s beautifully organized space is this closet from the latest issue of Lucky magazine:
how-to-basics-1-546
how-to-jeans-dilemma-546
Shelf organizers help keep handbags tidy and contained. Labeled shelves help distinguish between piles of jeans. A corkboard provides a space to post outfit inspiration.
how-to-foldables-sweaters-546
Sweaters are folded neatly by type in stacks no higher than 10 inches, with bulkiest pieces at the bottom of the pile to avoid an unstable top heavy formation.
how-to-hangables-546
Thin huggable hangers prevent garments from slipping and, unlike bulkier wooden hangers, don’t eat up valuable hanging space
how-to-shoes-546
A mounted wall rack concealed behind a lovely curtain takes advantage of a nook and holds shoes.
how-to-foldables-lingerie-546
Drawer dividers help keep delicate lingerie organized and prevent any snags from tangled bra hooks.
how-to-accessories-jewelery-546
Jewelry is kept untangled and organized in velvet jewelry trays.
