Some of you Asked 'Where Do You Store It All'..
Comments (9)LOL... ladies...glad you enjoyed these pictures. I too would kill for this kind of storage space. DD, I agree, how wonderful to have something like this right in your kitchen instead of searching high & low, for it all. I love orginization and she definitely has it down to a science. Gail..wouldn't it be nice to take those pretty red glasses..and just pop them into your 'glass storage' section, without a second thought? lol dream..I enjoyed looking at her table settings too. Glad you got your DH inspired, to make you additional storage space ..Good For You!! You've got to show it off when he's done..Oh and by the way, tell him >> The Pressure is On, because We Will Be Waiting to see what he does!! jane...See MoreDo you smell the garbage when you open the drawer above the trash
Comments (18)It does depend on how diligent you are. DS, a bachelor, lives in a condo with the pull out trash and knives in the drawer above. On a recent visit I opened the drawer to get a knife and almost fell over from the smell. He had shrimp for dinner the day before, put the shells in the trash and forgot to take out the trash when he left for work the next morning. Everyone on this forum sounds very careful either about what they put in the trash or making sure it goes out. I guess the moral of the story is to know your own habits....See MoreTrash - where do you keep yours and do you like it?
Comments (22)We also have much more recycles than trash. So I need a larger bin for recycle, and a small one for trash. I like the idea of keeping the trash smaller because it will get emptied more often too. I want to keep the pull out narrow so not to give up much cabinet space. So the trick is to find 2 trash can that are narrow, and together take up about 24" depth. The double bins I saw on Rev-a-shelf were all at least 12 - 15" wide, and much less than 24" deep. Also they are much shorter than under counter height, so not an efficient use of space. The photo from Judydel looks closest to what I want. What other brands should I look at? We also started composting recently. Right now I just use an old bread bag to collect stuff during the day, and then dump it in the compost bin after dinner clean-up. My BFF was composting years before it was fashionable. She didn't even have a disposal. She keep a small pretty ceramic pot w/lid on her counter next to the sink. She lined it with a bread bag, and collected her veggie scraps there. Every other day she would dump the contents into the compost pile. So I plan on getting a "compost pot" for my counter too....See MoreWhere do you put your trash can?
Comments (12)I designed the kitchen walls to have an open space at the end of one cabinet run, near the sink and prep. area, for my alltime favorite garbage can: metal with a step-on pedal. When working with something really messy I pile stuff in a bowl, on wax paper, or similar while working, then take the few steps away to the garbage can. I'm afraid that garbage cans and recyclables under the sink, in open or closed containers, attract bugs. We live in a buggy climate and I don't use pesticides. Recyclables get piled in one area near the outside door and taken outside daily, sorted if needed....See Moredebrak2008
