Do you have a corner cabinet in your Kitchen that seems to be big enough to hold a lot but because it is too hard to reach or to see what is in it just doesn't get used so much. Well I would like to share with you one person's solution to this problem.
Here is a picture of their corner cabinet with the door open

As you can see it is very full. But you can't see even the half of it. I have taken out the contents of each shelf to show you really how much is in there.
Shelf one
Shelf one
Shelf two
Shelf three
Now that is a lot of stuff!
I don't know if you noticed on the second shelf a small hole in the box there.

That is a finger hole so the box can slide out easier. I thought that was genius. Each box that is used to fit back in this black hole space (I call it that because at my house no one really knows what is back there. Ok, I do but no one else does.) fits perfectly. It took some real thought and planning to find boxes to fit the shelves and the things that she stores here.
But what really makes this work is what she has stored in her utensil drawer.

Important information is stored here for easy access while cooking. And in this bunch of papers is a map of the cupboard that we have been looking at.
This card is divided into the three shelves and then into three sections of each shelf. On the far left is the furthest back portion on the shelf, then the middle portion with the last section saying what is in the part that you can see as you open the door.
It is a simple but extremely effective solution. One quick look at this cupboard map and she knows where everything she has stored here is. She has made it very easy to get to the item she needs by using boxes covered with contact paper that slide out easily. I know how well this system works because I borrow items from this cupboard regularly.
Thanks Mom for being such an inspiration!
