Your built-in magazine rack doesn't have to be something that is always visible. This hidden magazine rack is a terrific idea; just open up the cupboard and there are all of those magazines you've been meaning to read. This is great for hiding those trashy gossip magazines that you don't want guests to know you read!

Here's a great idea if there's an appliance or pipes obstructing the area needed for a full drawer or cupboard. Use just a sliver instead to hold mail and paperwork that can otherwise clutter a kitchen island.

Surprisingly, this mail storage solution didn't come at the clients' request. While they requested certain things in particular, they told Blair she could fill in the rest of the space however she wanted. During the remodel, she found that she was constantly looking for a place to store the clients' mail, which is how this solution came to be. Blair worked with the fabricator to make sure they could size the cabinets to create this nook at the end. She decided on the size of the pockets by measuring out magazines and envelopes, allowing for an extra 1.5 inches. She then cut cardboard to the correct size, and told the fabricator to build pockets to fit tightly around the pieces. The nook was built into the cabinetry, with simple pull-out doors to cover it when its not being used. If you're in the midst of a kitchen remodel, this is a great storage solution to consider. It's also something that could easily be used on other parts of the house — built-in desks or entryway cubbies for example.
