We saw this great idea on Remodelista.com and had to share it - take out a drawer and fit a dowel inside for a built-in paper towel holder! This is a fairly simple example, but you could always spruce it up even more: re-install the drawer front onto the cabinet with hinges along with the bottom so that it's hidden when not in use, or install a metal edge inside the opening as a tear-off strip. Remodelista also suggests storing extra rolls in the back of the cubby.
This would help free up your countertops if you're short on space, but could also eat into valuable drawer storage. What do you think? Innovative storage idea, or inefficient use of space?
