We use plastic baskets and then you can label them. I have baskets all over the ES

I found some small plastic drawers at walmart. Three drawers to a unit and they fit in my overhead cabinets. I keep plastic ware in one and kitchen utensils in the other. I too use the assorted baskets. I found some little cubes that measure 10 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 11H. They are made of a bright fabric over something like fiberboard. They fold flat when not in use. We find them very handy both for storage and transporting items from house to camper and back. Only place I have seen them is Home Depot.

Target has a decent supply of small baskets / containers that will fit in the O/H cabinets in our travel trailer...some fabric-covered, some woven like baskets, some that look like they are wrapped in hemp or rope.

We doubled the useable storage in the kitchen cabinets by installing wire shelving from Home Depot. Installed it upside down, the lip keeps cups and glasses from falling out, and a few plastic baskets holds spices, etc.

Here are some pics of the wire shelving we used, plus a couple of wine glass holders attached to the ceiling of one cabinet.

Are those glass or plastic wine glasses? If glass...have you had any issues with them banging one another and breaking underway?

Couldn't get a good angle on the wine glass holder, but there is one on both ends of the cabinet holding 6 glasses (acrylic) each. Camping World item # 57736, $3.99 ea.
