A morning closet is a great way to convert a hallway closet, usually on the second floor, into a mini-kitchen (figure A), so that first cup of coffee is convenient in the morning and other drinks and snacks are close by for family all day long. - A few measurements of the closet will help with the transformation.
- The first decision is how big you want to make the countertop.
- Cutting a hole in the countertop lets you hide the coffee pot cord.
- A mini fridge underneath stores water, juices and cream.
- If there’s enough room, a prefab cabinet above will provide storage or try pantry style shelves with pullout baskets.
- These will store other necessities like coffee and filters, plus morning snacks (figure B)
.
- Stemware for beverages like iced tea and soda line up neatly in under shelf racks (figure C).
- A canister is another great way to hold all kinds of utensils.
- A glass paneled French door freshens up the look of the closet.
- All the cords can be plugged into a power strip with a surge protector by running an extension cord to an outside socket. Hiding the cord is easy with a plastic wire mold to match your foot molding.
- A morning closet is a great way to add convenience to your whole day.
Web Extras - Mini kitchens are popping up everywhere. Consider putting one in your master suite.
- Put a trash can in the morning closet to make clean up a snap.
