Weekly Wrap-Up: Enviable Storage with Humble Roots

We are really loving the simple but smart storage and organization ideas from our sister sites this week. Let’s take a tour, shall we?

• We have a serious case of storage envy. Check out the wall-mounted kitchen shelves made from vintage apple crates on Remodelista in Scandi Meets Shaker in a Parisian Japanese Restaurant by LSL Architects.
• It’s a trend: Basic S-hooks hanging from rails under wall-mounted shelves appear in this Kitchen of the Week and this Scandi-Meets-Japanese Kitchen in Toronto. Oh, and here, too (though these brass S-hooks are anything but basic).
• Alexa sourced a bevy of small, cute-as-a-button kitchen appliances from Japan. See 15 Favorites: Japanese Countertop Appliances (Available in the US).
• Thinking about remodeling? Do yourself a favor and read Gardenista’s House & Garden: 10 Mistakes to Avoid When You Remodel, Michelle’s honest and insightful guide to what not to do when you’re renovating.
