Big Room, Tiny Space: 6 Kitchens That Boast Creative Design

No matter what size, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house. Case in point: Here are six ingenious spaces—some no larger than a closet—that are minuscule yet highly functional.

The use of utensil racks, almost as art objects is very appealing. Still, we bake bread, so I'm glad to have counter space and cabinets.

i'd need a step-ladder for so many of these things. it's great to utilize space, but what if you can't get to it?
