God bless\nthe pegs and the wheeled small table. Have you ever had a problem that you\nalways had to move something away and back to use something in the kitchen?\nIt\u2019s much more easier if you store your stuff on pegs and on an easily movable\ntable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to always pull out and push back the cabinets, simply just leave some space there, and voil\u00e1, you have a wine rack. Be careful; always store the bottles on their side, to keep the corkwood wet. If they become dry, the bottles will crack and the wine will go bad because of the air going into the bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Making a part of the cupboard removable, detachable or foldable is just brilliant. If you don\u2019t have a table where you can eat, you can still have a temporary one, like this in the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Most people\nwouldn\u2019t even think of making a pull-out closet in a place like that, but check\nout how smart it is. Kitchen spoons, egg-beater, ladles and other equipments\nthat would take up a whole drawer now can be stored in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
