And the affordable stock cabi-
netry comes in 4 furniture-quality
finish and a style that complemenis
your home’s decor.

But are you sure you’ve com-
pleted your kitchen planning?
What about maximizing storage
and counter space?

Have you thought about where
to put cutlery, napkins, dishes,
appliances and maintenance sup-
plies, as well as bread, soup cans
and soft drinks?

Cabinet accessories readily
available from many stock cabi-
netry manufacturers should go
hand-in-hand with selecting the
cabinets themselves.

“Homeowners should consider
companion accessories along with
cabinets when developing a kitch-
en,” says Greg Wolf, director of
product pianning at a large manu-
facturer of cabinetry for kitchens,
bath and home.

“These products provide in-
novative solutions to the efficient
storage of countless items, as well
as adding a ‘decorator’ touch to
the everyday work area in the
kitchen,’*

According to Wolf, consumers
can “‘customize”’ their new kitch-
ens by instaliing the following cab-
inet interior and decorative ac-
cessories.

have trouble finding a place for
numerous household goods within
versatile pantry cabinets. For ex-

shelves and vinyl-laminated interi-
or surfaces for easy cleanup.

left unturned, or unused, with a
revolving shelf. The unit fits snug-
ly into a corner cabinet and in-
creasts accessibility to food items.
