The Hunt for the perfect Fruit/ Veggie Storage for the Kitchen

Man!!... I've been searching for functional fruit & veggie storage for a while for my kitchen counter and there are SLIM pickings out there if you really want one with a nice clean design! Most commonly, you can find black wrought iron versions with swirly wire designs - but there has GOT to be better options then these!

So, I decided to really dig and see what's out there for something more modern, simple and clean that said BUY ME, you want ME in your kitchen! So, here's what I came up with...


Williams Sonoma
Gathering Basket  |  $39.95

LOVE this one. Rustic, functional, great price - say no more.



 









Fresh Finds
Double Tier Produce Basket  |  $20

Wow- Best price and nice updated look and feel to the classic 2-tiered basket we all look for. This one, I don't think anyone could go wrong with. But when I'm out of fruit - where do I store this large accessory? Maybe the goal is to buy more fruit, and never run out! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?












William Sonoma
Metal Storage Baskets, Set of 2  |  $49.95

Small one for your veggies, large one for fruit? So cute, and can squeeze right onto your counter with your canisters into OR will look great on an open pantry shelving for an appealing way to display/store your non-refrigerated produce!













Hubert
Steel 2 Tier Wire Fruit Basket  |  $150

Pricey!... but this guy is the real deal, restaurant quality way to display your fruit on a large island, big dining room table or in a deep kitchen counter! And hey... its steel, so if your looking for an industrial-look - this would be my pick!















Pottery Barn
Galvanized Metal Tiered Stand  |  $69
Need something that is multifunctional? This tiered stand is great for that deep corner you need to fill in the kitchen. The bottom shelf is definitely large enough for a loaf a bread, bagels, fresh rolls, etc... with plenty of room left on the top two shelves for fruits and veggies! So in my opinion, this one is very functional for every day use, and this galvanized cutie could step it up a notch for you to put our apps/desserts on when your entertaining at home or by the pool!










Crate & Barrel
Two Tier Basket  |  $50

A classic design of the 2-tiered basket. The dark slate
color, and gridded pattern definitely update this look.















Pottery Barn
Collapsible Basket  |  $31

I have to say... this one is the best space saver. When you're out of fruit you just collapse, and put the basket away. When the groceries come in... pull this cool, geometric basket back out again and what a great way to store/ display your produce! At this price you can easily get two and use one for veggies and one for fruit!




Happy shopping, and happier kitchen organizing! Thanks for reading!
