My Favorite Kitchen Storage & Design Ideas

While cleaning up my files on our old computer last weekend, I came across a folder that I created years ago with images of unique kitchen storage ideas that I'd love to use in a future kitchen remodel. Adding these images to several that I've collected via Pinterest over the past year, I've got everything that I need to create one heck of an organized kitchen (well, everything except the forty grand to actually do the remodel....). Wanna see my favorite ideas??

I'm not a fan of paper towel holders that hang from the bottom of upper kitchen cabinets but also don't love having a roll of paper towels chilling out on my countertop.  I LOVE this solution of a slender pullout that not only holds a roll of paper towels, but also has rods for hanging dish towels:

Another great solution is to build a paper towel dispenser into your cabinetry which has the advantage of easy accessibility:

I'm not the tallest of girls so it's much easier for me to get to things in our lower cabinets than things on the shelves in our upper cabinets.  I think I'd love to have a storage drawer like this for dishes:

And how about a built-in cutting board that pulls out over your garbage can - genius! I would want the cutting board to be removable for easy washing.

Right now, my spices are on a rack on the back of our pantry door, which works ok but it would be great to have my spices and oils stored right next to the cooktop:

The space underneath my kitchen sink is a very scary, scary place. This solution is fabulous, allowing you to organize your cleaning supplies and easily access supplies stored near the back:

I have two drawers that I use for utensils but some of my bigger spatulas and ladles take up way to much space and always get stuck when I open and shut my drawers. This pull out storage solution for utensils located right next to the stove is perfect:

And how about those bags of onions and potatoes that are sitting on the floor in your pantry - this is such a better solution:

Our kitchen corner cabinets don't have a lazy susan or any other fancy storage solution - I couldn't even begin to guess what must be shoved into my corner cabinet abyss. When we do a kitchen remodel, one of these solutions is a must:

Having a pull out cabinet for a trash can is nothing all that new, but how great would it be to have one for trash, one for recycling, AND a place to store your trash bags:
