While Gillian and her family underwent a full kitchen renovation, they opted to keep their culinary home airy and their above-counter space clear of cabinets.

But, half the cabinets means half the storage, so came up with a solution to keep the headroom they'd hoped for: "Instead of adding the upper cabinets we had avoided, we sunk a set of six half sized lockers into the wall between our kitchen and powder room.

We now have a baking locker, a canned goods locker, a kids snack locker and even a (locked) liquor locker." Say that last one three times fast.
