A Simple Way to De-Clutter Your Countertops

I like to keep my counters clean of clutter. Having produce stands or bowls taking up space makes me feel closed in and I hate working in my kitchen when I feel that way. So I came up with this produce storage idea to turn an old ladder and some baskets into my produce holder.

As is usually the case, I come up with the idea and I ask JJ to do the hard stuff. He obliged. 

I purchased an old ladder from one of my favorite places here in San Diego, The Barn Redefined. You can get them at almost any antique store in your area. They always seem to have old ladders in one of their booths.

I ordered three baskets from the Container Store. These are the right size for most ladders and hold the perfect amount of produce per basket.

Watch exactly how JJ made it!
