One of my first jobs.

So the company that I do kitchen organization with is called Shelf Genie (www.shelfgenie.com).  They have a great system that allows us to put glideout shelves in your existing cabinets.  This way you can avoid having to do a full kitchen remodel and can make your kitchen much easier to use at the fraction of the cost of a full remodel.

One of the first designs that I did was for Victoria B.  She had a fairly large kitchen, with a large island.  Lots of cabinets, lots of space, but she was not the tallest person around and the cabinets were especially deep.  Accessibility was a big issue for her.

This area was a cupboard underneath the range where there was no shelving originally installed.

The below picture is the area below her kitchen sink.

There were a few things we did with the space that she had.

One of the problems we had to solve was the best way to take care of her bakeware, as she had a fair amount of baking sheets, cutting boards, etc.  We dedicated two of her less wide cabinets for bakeware.  We also attached the doors to the glideouts in order to make accessibility much easier.

Under the sink, we added a riser so it wasn't necessary to stack things so high under there, but left the right side open as she had an instant hot water unit on that side of the sink.

She had attempted to utilize some baskets in one of the cupboards in order to take care of much of her dry goods, but was still not happy with how that was working for her.

Now these cabinets also did not have a drawer, so there was a great deal of dead and unused space in these island cabinets, as well as there being a stile in the middle which was also limiting usage.

Since many of the things that were in this area were shorter things, we removed the stile from the cabinets and we decided to go with three glideouts in each space in order to better utilize the space that she had. 

And lastly, we also added a pull out spice organizer next to the range top for easy access to all of her seasonings.

All in all she was thrilled with the final result!

Starting up a blog.

Hello everyone.  I've had many friends asking me about the work that I'm doing currently, wanting to see some of the design and organization that I've done for people, so I thought that I would go ahead and start blogging about my work.

For those who don't know, I do home organization for people.  In particular, I do closet design as well as custom kitchen glideouts for kitchen organization.

I'll be blogging about the designs and work that I've done as well as just some general home organization tips and ideas.

Let me know how you like it!
