Maximize kitchen real estate

I have a lovely big kitchen now, but that wasn’t always the case. When I was young (so, like, two years ago) I lived on Beacon Hill in Boston, and I had the teensiest kitchen imaginable.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. My need for more counter space turned me into Mary McGyver! If you’re short on workspace, pull out a drawer and top it with a cutting board. Instant upgrade!
