Products to make a (very) small kitchen work harder: In photos

“A knife”: You’ve saved so much space on the appliances that maybe you can afford to splurge on -- gasp! -- a paring knife and a bread knife in addition to the essential chef's knife. Still, don’t waste precious counter space on a storage block. Instead, mount a knife block under a cabinet. You can rig up something pretty simple and attractive with a magnetic strip, as blogger Kaela of Local Kitchen did in the photo here -- but as she mentions, you can also find off-the-shelf options like one from Wusthof. 

And finally: an all-in-one for the truly space-starved.
