Add Vertical Storage to Empty Kitchen Space in 20 Minutes
$3-10
20 Minutes
Easy
Do you have any unused vertical space in your kitchen? Don't you hate it when you have something that you keep losing track of because it doesn't have a proper home?
For me it's my little collection of food magazines. I have a rather small collection and some of them are a few years old. But I do like to keep them on hand for reference when I creating new recipes. They are a bit big and floppy to keep on the shelf with my cookbooks so I've been tucking them in various places around the kitchen. Bad plan, believe me.
Since I knew it wouldn't need to hold much weight (I mainly just collect food mags when the mood strikes) I didn't worry about anchoring the rail or the wooden ledge at all. I used 2 small corner braces under the ledge to attach it to the cabinet wall and they are quite sturdy.

i bought these "magazine racks" (simple shelves) from Ikea and put my cook books on the outside of my pantry. (forgive me - the laundry baskets and unfinished wall by the stove which is done now!)

Have a question about this project?
What is the ziploc box thing
Where did you find this kind of magazine rack and how did you attach the TOP railing to the cabinet?
