Here’s what the cupboards above your fridge are for

There’s a lot to be said for a neat, tidy home where everything has its place.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll find it extremely hard to focus when the place

is a mess or you have the feeling that things aren’t precisely where they should be. And yes, this includes inside the fridge.

Of course, that wasn’t always the case. When I was young I didn’t place much

emphasis on organization around the house – I guess I’ve got my mother to

thank for the fact that it always looked like it was ready to be pictured for an estate agent’s portfolio.

She taught me many tips and trick too, my mother, amongst those the best ways

to use those small cupboards many kitchens have above refrigerators.

Know the ones I mean? Well, if you have them as well, read on to see how they might be best utilized.
