We’ve put together our favourite kitchen finds to help make this area of your home more
functional.
Rethink a traditional bar area and
display your glassware and wine in a top
cupboard and your liquor in an easy to
reach drawer. There is no need to move
bottles around to find your forty year old
scotch; simply pull out the drawer and
grab the right bottle every time.

When designing a kitchen island,
consider functionality vs. style. A large
kitchen island always looks grand!
Why not take advantage of the extra
space and add a cubby hole to tuck
away a stool, so that the island can
double as a work station?
Remove counter clutter by installing a power bar
in a drawer to store a laptop or cell phones. We
love this slim drawer and power bar combination
