It's nice to have a space for entertaining that keeps the mess away from the main kitchen area. Open shelving and glass front drawers add a relaxed feeling to this often used bar area. Adding a wastebasket solution helps keep all bar activity out of the kitchen.

Someone's always hungry in a house full of people- espically kids. A seprate area that combines pantry storage and a microwave keeps the main kitchen area free of snackers, so the cook can actually cook.

Baking can be labor intensive, but this bread-baking household can knead and rise all within a couple of steps. Placing a warming drawer next to the Base Mixer Shelf keeps baking contained with less need to carry heavy bowls across the kitchen.

Give kids a place to play close to a watchful eye, but outside the main cooking area. Placing a Base Message Center near the island gives them their own space to keep busy near the kitchen, but away from any cutting or boiling.

Wet bar won't even begin to describe a bar area created for people who entertains as much as possible. Adding a Utility Stock Cabinet creates a seperate space for bottles stored behind closed doors and adding desk height cabinets adds space to keep bar accessories organized.

In a kitchen a little more counter space would go a long way, so this countertop goes where its needed. Adding casters to an island makes it versitile and lets it settle into its dedicated spot in the kitchen.

In a smaller kitchen you have to get creative with appliance space. Using a Base Mixer Shelf creates additional counter space for breakfast essentials, but then quickly swings back out of sight.

Bring everything into view from the back of any cabinet. Now all those weird wedding gifts and obscure, one-use appliances wont be ignored simply because they're hard to get to.
