TURNING YOUR kitchen into a
room that really works for you and
your family means more than
replacing old appliances.

Here are some hints to help you
organize your kitchen for max-
imum use, enjoyment and com-
fort.

* Carefully weigh the usefulness
of your kitchen contents. By stor-
ing little-used utensils elsewhere,
space will be freed for items used
every day.

Give away duplicates and throw
away broken or unusable objects.

© Set aside a few hours to rear-
range your kitchen cabinets.

space and is used more often than
anything else in the kitchen.

One organizational hint is to
store items at their first place of
use. For example, since a saucepan
is often filled with water before it
is used, store the pan near or under
the sink.

* Invest in a set’of dishes that
you can cook and serve in. This
saves work as well as storage
space.

© Snacks, quick meals, eating on
the run, staggered eating times —
they’re ali geared to an eat-in
kitchen. If there is no room for a
table-and-chairs dining arrange-
ment, consider adding a snack bar

use

to a work area with stools for
diners. This makes serving a snap
and cleanup a breeze.

© Solve traffic problems by con-
sidering how and when you use
different kitchen appliances. For
example, if the microwave is used
mainly for frozen foods, it should
be close to the refrigerator.

¢ New wallpaper or curtains, a
fresh coat of paint or green plants
can also brighten up a kitchen
without knocking down walls for a
major remodelling job.

A successful kitchen shape-up
will certainly make the time you
spend there more enjoyable and
efficient.
