When we were designing the kitchen with the cabinet maker I knew that I wanted a dedicated place for my cookbooks.
I had seen many photos over the years of kitchen islands with built-in bookcases for cookbooks.
Although, I knew I could store them in the pantry, I envisioned sitting at my kitchen desk, and reaching over to grab a cookbook while planning my meals.
Having a dedicated place for them, not only looks good, but is very practical as well.
I must admit that many of my recipes come off of Pinterest, but I’m still a sucker for a beautiful cookbook.
In choosing to add the bookshelves it did take away from other storage on the island. Originally, we had considered a cabinet for cookie sheets and cutting boards.
When we decided the island needed to be a little shorter to allow for adequate flow, I knew that between the cookie sheets and the books there was no way the cookie sheets would win.
That being said, I do have some nice pull outs inside my cabinets which make retrieving these items quite easy, so I’m pleased with our final decision.
