Q: I am making homemade tonic syrup (of the gin and tonic variety) to gift to family and friends this year. I have been scouring the internet for some inexpensive bottles (about 150-250 ml in size) in which to gift the tonic. I can't find anything. More

Q: I have recently been contemplating getting a cookie jar for the sake of nostalgia. I understand that traditional jars aren't the best thing for keeping cookies fresh but I want the feeling that having a cookie jar invokes in the kitchen if you will. Something quirky and fun to look at... More

Since we're now into November it's safe to start thinking about gift giving for the holidays—specifically, all those handmade treats we'd love to give (and receive). When I hit up my local IKEA recently, these $5 finds sucked me in. They're the perfect containers to hold your homemade edible goodies! More

What do you think about using an industrial restaurant-style dish rack in your kitchen? The tubs in this rack aren't holding dirty dishes, however, as they might be in a restaurant; rather, they're being used to hold pantry staples (check out the jars in the bottom tub), wine glasses, and plates—just like a regular shelf!

From jars designed to emulate a bee hive to simple ceramic pots, there are lovely choices for every style. More

I have become intimately acquainted with the walls of my new house as over the last several weeks my husband and I and a pack of friends have stripped most of the rooms of wall coverings, plaster, and lathe, exposing the true bones and studs. One side effect of this (besides sore shoulders and scraped hands!) is that the naked structure of my house has given me a whole new perspective on storage. There's so much room in there, between the studs! Here are some inspiring photos showing how you can use all that negative space inside your walls for positive storage solutions. More
