A kitchen might be the heart (and stomach) of any home, but it's not exactly the easiest to organize and decorate. Only after you install your mandatory appliances, bring in go-to gadgets, and reserve enough counter space for meal prep can you even begin to think about where to put your produce, non-perishables, and spices. And unless you have a very generous footprint, it can be tricky to create a well-appointed kitchen, right? Well, Erin Napier is here to prove otherwise.
The Home Town star posted a photo of her produce-packed kitchen on Instagram and not only were the windowsills above her sink packed with onions and tomatoes, but each of her windows was decked out with glass shelves that held (you guessed it) even more tomatoes. Napier might've posted the setup for some comic relief as she cheekily captioned the photo: "I need to make salsa." But she also shared a super-smart kitchen storage hack: Install glass shelves on your window. The easy idea practically creates more storage space out of thin air. Not to mention, it can give your kitchen a touch of coastal grandmother style.
A handful of commenters were curious about how to install glass shelves in the first place. Fortunately, it's quite simple: Once you measure your window and order glass panes that match your space's dimensions, install brackets on each side of your window. (Though this trick works best with deep niches, you can opt for wall-mounted shelves.) From there, you'll want to slide and secure your glass shelves as well as load them up with your favorite decor. Whether you choose potted plants for an at-home garden, a few cookbooks for endless inspiration, or fresh tomatoes just like Napier, anything goes with this storage hack.
