Are your kitchen cupboards jam packed? I was in a kitchen design shop yesterday (Laurysen Kitchens) and was shown a really cool set of kitchen cupboards for the wall in the kitchen that does not have a counter top. They were only 6' high. There were no cupboards extending to the ceiling. The designer said that very few people wanted this design because they preferred more cupboards tp open space. In fact, she said, people with 10 ' ceilings still want storage to the ceiling. She said you would need a ladder to get to those cupboards. What on earth are people keeping in those warehouse size kitchens?

When your house is on the market, Buyers will want to know if there is room to store their things in your house. Even if you have enough cupboards space take out anything in the kitchen that is not food or food preparation related. Having ornaments, boxes of files and papers, tools, toys, etc tells the Buyer that there is not enough room in the house. Having a few empty shelves is a good thing.

If you have an over abundance of food, you may want to collect up some of the duplicates and triplicates and donate them to the Food Bank.

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
