This  pullout cabinet is a custom add-on, but it makes an awkward cabinet  usable.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPseeTlw53sGX4FfAs1NlNdqeb9rzvIAj1xIkLW6Y7NdIZ8K7a3OWBcspEMwunmA64dsHFpj12zVCNArLXICAaG9tuf_L-dGWtoRC3VGzO8KSJ4ANRLNlVEJHD0YuDnbaAaw-M6JHWJczs/s1600/20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPseeTlw53sGX4FfAs1NlNdqeb9rzvIAj1xIkLW6Y7NdIZ8K7a3OWBcspEMwunmA64dsHFpj12zVCNArLXICAaG9tuf_L-dGWtoRC3VGzO8KSJ4ANRLNlVEJHD0YuDnbaAaw-M6JHWJczs/s1600/20.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Simple Storage</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Storing dishes in lower cabinets  prevents having to lift them overhead and eases the task of unloading  the dishwasher. Drawers and pullout shelves are often used in lower  kitchen cabinets to avoid dark corners where items can get lost.</div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuZqJ_9vFe7GkpbTo4VZtFwa3HHkCM8sCi1tCdFjF1DgQH5tRWy0n4XgVvzkOaua5tazKC5F9yIITYyF6Njwp8ynRYMoyS3vL6g036lRqkYmLrhH1ShSQItKfSFIepLja6rRaIKcpWWbYc/s1600/21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuZqJ_9vFe7GkpbTo4VZtFwa3HHkCM8sCi1tCdFjF1DgQH5tRWy0n4XgVvzkOaua5tazKC5F9yIITYyF6Njwp8ynRYMoyS3vL6g036lRqkYmLrhH1ShSQItKfSFIepLja6rRaIKcpWWbYc/s1600/21.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;"><b>Utilize Forgotten Spaces</b></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">In  this petite kitchen, creamy cabinetry helps to make the space feel more  open while a light blue paint appears to raise the ceiling. A  counter-height bar allows for a place to eat as well as additional prep  space for cooking when the chair is taken away. This kitchen shows how  forgotten spaces can be used to instantly increase storage in any kitchen.</div><div style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bG7QO8NOblsoYiJ2OHBl5cVFghZZaVREDJ7pYGemrylxt6ohYXaTZhzzRBnrxZpyn3X5x0_v6dir2lHBeg2hXB727Xu2e7VJNHhpGMP7fGZHyo9avh5PKwIYt02gh3zhRfjrOv2fIOnq/s1600/22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bG7QO8NOblsoYiJ2OHBl5cVFghZZaVREDJ7pYGemrylxt6ohYXaTZhzzRBnrxZpyn3X5x0_v6dir2lHBeg2hXB727Xu2e7VJNHhpGMP7fGZHyo9avh5PKwIYt02gh3zhRfjrOv2fIOnq/s1600/22.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Corner Cabinet</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Installing corner cabinets  provides additional storage without impeding on walkway space.

Although small in square footage, several smart design  strategies open up the area for a statement-making space. Understated  and sophisticated finishes, such as the white backsplash and glass-front  cabinets, keep the room simple and inviting.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxcC4QMaZtHaG9qkaIqNxwcp0aTplsKtW0vR_ev8Wt53N6EMDQ0RBnxF2k5Szwf8MwwAoj1hcWRYx40FwM0I_U0bfKkBOgCRHzpBlujOL4p4hW2FkDJLMHlOmpXUyL3iUmg2zZdyh-I9U/s1600/27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxcC4QMaZtHaG9qkaIqNxwcp0aTplsKtW0vR_ev8Wt53N6EMDQ0RBnxF2k5Szwf8MwwAoj1hcWRYx40FwM0I_U0bfKkBOgCRHzpBlujOL4p4hW2FkDJLMHlOmpXUyL3iUmg2zZdyh-I9U/s1600/27.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Invigorating White</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Too much white can be a little dull, but the neutral hue perks up when used in standout ways, such as on these beaded-board cabinets.
