			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1288" title="built in oven" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/built-in-oven.jpg" alt="built in oven" width="249" height="373" />Ever wonder what is behind that slat of wood on either side of your built-in dishwasher or stove?  More than likely it is dead space between your cabinet and the appliance.  Kitchen cabinet storage space is always at a premium.  Convert this dead space into additional valuable cabinet space.</p>
<h3>More Storage Space with Additional Cabinets</h3>
<p>Trim pieces are normally placed in front of the areas between where the cabinet stops and an appliance begins. Extend your storage space by installing pullout cabinet accessories for spices, pans, cookie sheets, etc. in these currently empty spaces.  With a shortage of cabinet space in most kitchens, make sure you utilize any dead spaces you currently to maximize your storage capacity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Appliance lifts in your <a title="kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a> make accessing those heavy appliances such as blenders, mixers and others a lot easier on your back.  These appliance lifts can normally accommodate weights of up to 60 pounds.</p>
<h3>Use Appliance Lifts in Your Base Cabinets</h3>
<p>Appliance lifts are placed in base kitchen cabinets.  Cabinets normally need to be at least 24” in width.  Most lifts utilize gas cylinders which easily bring the appliance from a lower cabinet up to an even level with the countertop.  It is then locked into place for safety.</p>
<h3>Update Your Kitchen with the Latest Trend in Kitchen Remodeling</h3>
<p>When ordering new <a title="kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/cabinets.aspx" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a> be sure to have the block on which the appliance will sit made of the same material as your cabinetry.  Save your back by ordering an appliance lift to be included in your new kitchen cabinets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tambour doors can be a great choice for your new kitchen cabinet doors.  Their design and functionality can give your kitchen an entirely new look and feel.  Tambour doors come in a variety of wood materials as well as metal.</p>
<h3>Tambour Cabinet Doors Give Your Kitchen Extra Functionality</h3>
<p>Tambour doors are made of individual slats of wood or metal and backed with a flexible material.  The <a title="kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a> house a tracking system allowing the tambour doors to vertically roll up and down to open and close.  That’s right, no more hitting your head on open kitchen cabinet doors.</p>
<h3>Cabinet Doors That Work Well in Contemporary and Traditional Designs</h3>
<p>Tambour cabinet doors fit well within European or contemporary design schemes but can also work nicely in traditional designs if you choose the right wood or stain color.  You can also select particular areas of your cabinetry to use tambour doors such as cabinets for small appliances or bread storage.  Create a unique kitchen space by utilizing tambour doors for some or all of your kitchen cabinetry.</p>
<p>When you’re in search of quality kitchen cabinets, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> has the selection and savings for you. You can save up to 50% off on <a title="kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a> and other <a title="kitchen remodeling" href="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/" target="_blank">kitchen remodeling</a> products.</p>

<p><strong>Popular Types of Walnut Cabinets</strong></p>
<p>The two most popular types of walnut are Persian and Black.  The color ranges from a creamy white in the sapwood to a dark brown in the heartwood of the tree.  The final coloring also depends on how it is dried.</p>

<p>Consider strategically hanging single cabinets or double cabinets on different areas of the wall.  Perhaps a single cabinet by the refrigerator which holds glasses or two adjacent to the range which holds plates or cookware would be just the right amount of cabinet space for you.</p>
<p>Having four or five smaller cabinets placed exactly where you need them will free up wall space for windows, artwork, or just some really cool paint colors.</p>

<p>Adding pull-out shelves to your kitchen cabinets will make organizing your kitchen so much easier and will make finding just what you need a simple task, not to mention the added value this addition makes to your home.</p>
<p>We often stack pots and pans and stuff everything we can inside our cabinets for lack of a better option. Then when it’s time to pull out that particular pot we need to make soup, we have to get down on hands and knees to unstack and shuffle through everything in the cabinet to find that certain pot.</p>
<p>By adding pull out shelves to your cabinets, you get the convenience of a drawer without the having to remove cabinet doors or modify your cabinet frame in any way.</p>
<p>The main thing to watch out for is that the pull outs you choose are designed to hold the amount of weight you need. Various styles are available for storing different items, so be sure you’re buying the pull out shelves that will hold the right amount of weight.</p>
