Michael Beidler of Trout Design Studio designed custom transitional cabinetry for a kitchen design in Washington, D.C. The transitional kitchen space is open to the family room, making the kitchen feel bigger than its proposed size. The cabinets are made of hard maple wood, crafted into an inset/no bead style. The cabinets were finished with a paint match to WM-100421 35°. Although this kitchen isn’t very large in size, the custom cabinets by Kountry Kraft bring storage and functionality into the space.

Hoosier Cabinet History
By / September 6, 2017 February 25, 2023
A true must have of a 1920’s kitchen was the hoosier cabinet. The idea built behind this popular cabinet was that a worker is only as efficient as her workplace. This cabinet was so much more than just a storage cabinet, it included storage, appliances and much more!
What Does “Hoosier” Mean?
The word Hoosier has been tied to the state of Indiana for over 150 years. There are several theories about its origin, one of them involves people yelling “who’s there?” across the river and the other is of a man who lost his ear in a bar fight and someone unfortunately picked it up and asked, “whos ear?” Both circumstances sound similar to the term “Hoosier”.
So, what does the term have to do with the Hoosier cabinet? The cabinet got its name because most of them were made in Indiana. The first Hoosier cabinets appeared in 1898, created by a furniture company called Sellers, in New Castle, Indiana. Popularity of the cabinet grew up until the late 1940’s when the records for the cabinets became scarce.
What Is in a Hoosier Cabinet?
You may be thinking that this was just an average cupboard, but back in the 1920’s, this was much more. This cabinet had storage for staples like flour, sugar and spices as well as workable parts like flour sifters, meat grinders, spice carousels, grocery list wheel, nutritional charts and cookbook holders. The Hoosier cabinet was made to speed up meal delivery by having everything you need in one place.

This modern Hoosier cabinet was designed by PKsurroundings. The modern storage cabinet includes shelves for organizing jars, spices and staple products. There is also a built-in prep sink that includes a garbage disposal. Outlets are incorporated on the walls for small appliances like a blender or electric mixer. The cabinet area provides a sense of separation from the rest of the kitchen, allowing multiple chefs to be cooking and prepping at the same time! Even though the storage space is beautiful to look at, it is all hidden behind custom sliding cabinet doors by Kountry Kraft.

Small Kitchen Storage Ideas | Kountry Kraft Cabinetry
By / August 30, 2017 March 11, 2023One of the only downsides of a small kitchen is the limitation for storage space. With Kountry Kraft custom cabinetry, you can create many different and unique storage areas. From pottery and glassware to miscellaneous items you don’t want exposed, we offer many different small kitchen storage ideas.
Small Kitchen Storage Ideas
Storage areas can be created to be on display or hidden in your kitchen. Many homeowners like to display colorful pottery or glassware in their kitchen and others prefer it to be hidden. Below you will see many different small kitchen storage ideas using Kountry Kraft cabinetry. Don’t see what you are looking for below? Contact us and we can create a customized storage solution for you.
Don’t limit storage to areas within arms’ reach. Ceiling-height cabinets or shelves are perfect for that appliance or casserole dish you never use. High cabinets and shelves can make a small kitchen space feel more open.
Declutter an open-shelving mess with decorative woven baskets or colored bins. Decorative bins keep your kitchen organized and stylish.
Don’t fill up a whole cabinet with just spices, take advantage of an awkward small space for pull-out shelf.
De-clutter your countertops using hidden storage space for your appliances like a toaster and coffee maker.
We can also create custom drawers for your k-cups or other small items so they stay organized and easily accessible.
Since floor space is already limited in your small kitchen, incorporating your trash and recycling bins into your cabinetry provides more available floor space.
Having a functional kitchen island creates a central storage unit for everything you want in your kitchen, but never seem to have enough space for.
Freezer drawers are a space saving design that leaves a smaller footprint and provides convenience.
