Organizing Kitchens and Clearing the Clutter

 Entertainment center under the cabinets

By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine

Replace that countertop TV with an under-cabinet model. On most models, the screen folds up and out of your way when not in use. Basic models include a radio, and pricier versions play CDs or DVDs too. Find under-cabinet TVs at electronics stores. To compare more than a dozen models online, go online and search for “under cabinet TV.” You can even buy an under-cabinet TV system that includes a camera, which lets you monitor the front door or the backyard from the kitchen. Under-cabinet TVs are easy to mount—all you need is a drill and a screwdriver. But running cable or antenna wire to the TV probably won't be so easy. Make sure you can connect a TV before you buy one.
