There's no way I can leave clutter on this little counter for long, as the cupboard holds my medications. So twice a day, the clutter has to be clear to open the door. The base cab is all shelves with one pull-out at the bottom for phone books. We have large frying pans and beverage storage inside. Above the fridge are the bag for recycling newspapers and a crate for recycling magazines. No more clutter in the living room! The wall cab has dog treats as well as writing tools, salt and pepper shakers, and meds.
