Make the most of cabinet surface areas

BE CREATIVE!
Instead of traditional and expensive wood veneers, think of colored, fun-looking storage closets in the kids’ play area: they are covered with magnetic boards and mirrors. Kitchen cabinets' surface area that would otherwise sit idle becomes work space for tracing pictures, displaying art projects, engaging in wordplay, and generally getting creative. Kids and adults will love it for different reasons: freedom to be creative for the young ones, and access to instant modern art for the grown ups!
