​The number one complaint that homeowners have concerning their kitchens is cluttered kitchen counters.  A new kitchen design could remedy some of the clutter if special cabinet areas are planned, such as pull-out waste basket, pull-out recycling basket, cookie sheet/tray organizer, revolving corner cabinet, drawer organizers, pull-out knife block, appliance garage or appliance cabinet, deep drawers for small appliances, pull out smaller baskets.  It is so much easier to keep  a clean house, a clean kitchen when you have the room to find a proper place for each item.

Signature Design and Cabinetry has made the kitchen even more convenient with this pull-out knife block.

Living in Florida without a basement and an attic too hot to really utilize, I am always looking for storage space.  I like this idea of using columns with panel doors to conceal stored items such as cookbooks, glassware, etc.

I recently read an article on the This Old House website explaining that if you are in need of extra storage or seating, consider building a window seat.  They can be made extra comfortable by adding a cushioned top.  If they are placed in a window area, it is a great place to view the outdoors.  

A window seat should be at least 16 to 20 inches deep, 30 inches long, and about 18 inches high for comfort.  You can build a 3 foot long DIY window seat for $100-$300.  If you use stock cabintry, the cost will be on the higher end.  Dreamland Interiors would be glad to assist in planning and constructing a custom window seat for your home.

​Window seats can be placed about anywhere in the home including the entryway, bedroom, den, living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.  If you place one in a kitchen or bathroom, you would be wise to use outdoor fabrics for the cushions.

An easy way to install bookshelves and make them appear built-in is to purchase prefabricated bookshelves from a store such as IKEA and dress them up with crown molding.  If you are in search of a spot to install built-in bookcases, check out the space around your doors or windows.  Dress up bookshelves by installing picture lights above the top-most shelf and direct the beam downward.  Another choice would be to have built-in shelves constructed above a buffet, counter, console, window seat, etc.
Perhaps you have open shelving in your kitchen, pantry, dining room, etc. that you could match and have extended.
