| The 1930 kitchen that will be my winter project has quite a few really deep shelves on the pantry wall. I had thought of buying some wire pullouts for these so they would actually be useful. It's hard to fine something when it's buried in the back of a deep cabinet.
I looked at the container store, but they seem pretty limited in sizes. Anyone have recommendations on where to buy these? I may even get a few for my cabinets. I'm tired of things falling out when I want a bowl or pan in the back! Thanks!! |

| Because pictures are fun- here is the wall of cabinets. They are about 29" deep. The cabinet to the left of the fridge has 3 shelves, the one to the right has no shelves. Maybe it's a broom closet? It's too short for most brooms and mops though. I was thinking a rolling shelf in that one.

| At best I'd say measure and buy some plastic baskets that fit at Target. It is not worth the money of retrofitting the interiors for a student's kitchen and will add little to nothing to the value of the house as a rental or resale. |

| will a number of young students be residing? will milk crates fit?turn them on their sides and stack them inside-each young person has an instant cubby for soupcans/granola bars/pop tarts/whatever-or stash their purse/keys/laptop/scarf/gloves/etc. Detroit burb has it correct with spinning your wheels about this n that storage customization which left to young college people will "do their own thing" the first week of school anyway. |

| Thanks gals! Great ideas. I'll keep my eyes open for some sales this season (or garage sales in spring) |

| I spent much of last weekend looking for rollout shelves to fit odd-sized cabinets. I looked at the Container Store and almost bought those but then I found some options for custom-sized rollout shelves, which seemed like the most efficient way to use our space. We went with a company called Shelves that Slide, link below. Costco also has something similar Hope that's helpful! Karin |
