Storage gems

Custom Home, April, 2004 by Shelley D. Hutchins

Diamond Cabinetry goes behind closed doors to reorganize the kitchen. The new Logix collection offers clever storage solutions to give homeowners extra visibility, accessibility, and more efficient use of space.

The SuperCabinet (above), available in 30- and 36-inch widths, features pullout drawers, shelves, wire baskets that hold up to 45 pounds each, and built-in door storage. Thanks to adjustable all-wood shelves, the cabinet can house small appliances as well as dry goods and dishes. Homeowners can choose from four different configurations of fully extendable drawers mixed with side shelves and rolling baskets.

Lids have long been the bane of kitchen organization, but the Base Pots & Pans pullout makes locating the right pan/lid combo a snap. Slide the unit out of the cabinet and the bottom shelf extends even farther for easy reaching.

The Super Susan and the Tall Pantry Pullout are designed to keep items close at hand. The slim Pantry Pullout odds pantry space to any size kitchen while the Super Susan features a segmented disk whose pie-shaped sections are fully extendable. The unit makes essential storage out of previously awkward corner cabinets. 812.482.2527. www.diamond2.com. Circle 197.
