We finally got round to redesigning our kitchen after four long years. Now that the design has been finalised and sent off to the fitters I suddenly released that I don’t have any drawers! I have lots of other storage but no drawers.I have no idea how to store my cutlery. I’ve always had a tray in a drawer and now that’s not an option. I would really love to hear about awesome cutlery storage alternatives. My Google-fu is failing me!

Besides investing in a set of hanging silverware (how cool are these rainbow guys!?), here are some non-drawer-necessary options for storing your flatware and other kitchen utensils…

And, I’m spent. What non-drawer methods are Homies using to store flatware?
I have the best idea I have ever seen!
Unfortunately – I have to create it from the ‘ground up’.
But, it is unique; practical; versatile; and I want to make it very affordable AND make it in the U.S.A !
