Why didn’t I think of that for my kitchen?
Whether it’s getting the kids’ lunches ready in the morning or baking up a storm, we’ve found a few
must-haves to help turn your kitchen into a gourmet chef’s dream!
Ice, Ice Baby
Any party planning
enthusiast will appreciate
the need for an undercounter ice maker! No
more last minute ice runs.
When designing your
kitchen, add an ice maker
beside your wine cooler
to keep everything in your
drink station accessible.

Open Sesame
A Little Vino
Have you ever dreamed of having all your
cookware in one easy to access place? If
so, this concept is for you! Whether you
are looking for a storage savvy way to
hang your lids or a compartmentalized
area for your pots and pans, behind
these doors is the solution to your kitchen
storage nightmares!
The addition of a wine rack built into a kitchen island
is such a great idea! This kitchen designed by Martha
O’Hara Interiors is a great example of how one can
maximize the use of a kitchen island by creating zones.
Her design enables patrons of this kitchen to comfortably
sit at the adjoining breakfast nook or work on the added
counter space that the island provides.

A small ladder hidden away
in the kick plate of your
kitchen cabinets is a great
solution for those of us that
are vertically challenged!
This foldable ladder fits
nicely in this small drawer
for easy access.
LOVE THESE space savers
Counter tops are often
cluttered with small
appliances. Here are two
solutions we love!

Store cookbooks or
your favourite books
in an easy to access
bookshelf built into the
backside of your kitchen
island. This is a great
idea for a small condo!
We love this slide-out
counter that gives us
added counter space
during baking sessions!
This pop-out food
processor surface is
a great way to keep
counters clutter-free!
