#Mise en Place: Kitchen Tool Drawer Organizers: Remodelista

Whenever we peruse the sites of high-end European specialist kitchen makers, we find ourselves obsessing over the elaborate built-in drawer storage systems. In fact, we like them so much that Michelle DIY-ed her own silverware drawer in their image. For the less can-do among, here is a selection of readymade modular drawer components to instantly organize your utensils and knives.

The Inspiration: European Custom Storage Designs
