Quintana Partners, a design outfit based in Menorca, Spain, are masters at updating old kitchens without stripping any of their charms. See Kitchen of the Week: Embracing the Old with Quintana Partners for a peek at their practical magic. Today, we’re looking at some of their signature kitchen pieces that provide both storage opportunities and vintage appeal.
Above: In Quintana Partners’ Sa Calma kitchen, a traditional Menorcan clothes rail becomes a spot to hang colanders, pots, and other cooking essentials. Crates provide closed storage. (See 10 Easy Pieces: Wooden Crates for sources.) Above: On the far wall, a wooden plate rack, over the sink, for both drying and storing dishes. (See Julie’s 10 Easy Pieces: Wall-Mounted Plate Racks.) Above: A vintage enamelware utensil rack in their Sa Calma Annex kitchen. (See Design Sleuth: Vintage Kitchen Utensil Racks from France.) Above: We love the idea of hanging a vintage medicine cabinet first aid box (perhaps for storing spices?) in the kitchen. (See 8 Favorites: Multipurpose First Aid Boxes.) Above: An Ikea Grundtal rail and some S hooks are all you need for a pot rack. (See Trend Alert: 13 Kitchens with Utensil Rails.) Above: In the designers’ own kitchen, a wire hanging basket was deployed for storing garlic and onions.
Here are seven storage ideas to steal from the singular kitchens designed by Quintana Partners:
1. Wooden Crates
