One of my favorite ways to organize in the kitchen
is with vintage cheese boxes.
These wooden cheese boxes can be found
at antique stores for under $5.00.
What a steal!
For $5.00 you get vintage wooden texture,
a graphic label,
and a utilitarian caddie that's the perfect size
to be functional in the kitchen.
Here, I use one old KRAFT cheese box
to corral my crystal salt and pepper shakers,
antique silver spoons in a Jadeite cup,
and some German gold-plated dessert forks.
I use cheese boxes elsewhere in the kitchen to organize my bills.
I love this old mirror on my back splash, too.
Our kitchen is in the center of our house,
so I haven't any natural light flooding through a window.
This tiny mirror helps to bounce the light around the room.
It almost acts as a portal.
We also recently added these wooden corbels under the kitchen cabinetry
when I painted them a soft white, Ben Moore's 'Easter Lily.'
They have elevated our builder-grade cabinets to a new height of style.
It is one of the most inexpensive things you can do to make your kitchen more charming.
The architectural corbels help to anchor and frame the space
and add the personality that this little room lacked.
Just a few touches make rustic kitchen elegance
oh so easy!
