!: Bakers Racks - Storage Made Simple

For many, the perfect home is one that would take them back generations to days when every day there was a home cooked meal on the table and the family gathered to discuss what they had done with their day. While that rarely happens in today's world, there are ways to recapture a little bit of that feeling through your home décor.

Back in a time when every day's bread was made fresh, not to mention the cakes and pies, the smell of all those baked goods would waft through the house, and into the yard, letting people know great cooking was almost theirs. There is no self-respecting country home that would have been lacking a bakers rack. If you are trying to bring that world to life in your home, you need one too.

If you are not a baker, you may think the idea of owning a bakers rack is a little bit of overkill. But just because you will not be filling the shelves with a number of loaves of bread and various fruit filled pies every day does not mean a bakers rack can't serve practical purposes in your home. You can have the old world charm of the furniture, but put it to work with more modern uses.

Generally, bakers racks would belong in the kitchen, near where all the cooking is done. In today's kitchen that means you can use bakers racks as great places for excess Storage. Some bakers racks have cabinets on the bottom that can be used as a way to de-clutter your kitchen counter tops. Think about all those things you have in the kitchen that you periodically use, but generally just take up space. They could be stored in the bottom of bakers racks. This is also a way to hide those modern appliances that can take away from your country kitchen appearance.

On the top part of the bakers racks you have a number of options for uses. These are the shelves where the baked goods would set to cool. Now you can use this space as a display area. If you have some especially precious country kitchenware pieces you may want to show them off on the shelves so all your visitors can appreciate them. Or if you want to show off that you really can do some down home country cooking, you may want to use this space in the bakers racks to display your country cookbook collection or recipe holder.

Some kitchens are a little tighter for space than others, and you may be thinking that you just can't fit bakers racks into your kitchen. If you have a spare corner, you can. There are corner bakers racks that will slip into that unused space and give you a lot of new and needed Storage. You can even use bakers racks with a counter space in the middle as an extra area to prep for meals.

If you are trying to truly recapture the past in the old country, your home will not be complete without bakers racks.
