Star Kitchen: Kelsey Nixon

When Kelsey Nixon moved from Utah to New York City, where she shoots her Cooking Channel show, Kelsey's Essentials, she had to get organized fast: Her new kitchen is 75 square feet, a third the size of her old one. We stopped by to get some space-saving tricks.

"I know I'm going to use my cake stand about 10 times a year for an actual cake," Kelsey says. "The rest of the time, I use it as a mini shelf." The fruit bowl by the sink? It's actually a juicer, but Kelsey stores lemons and limes in it.

Kelsey bought a set of magnetic spice jars so she could hang them on her refrigerator instead of using up valuable room in the cabinets. She also stores a magnetic knife rack on the side of the fridge.

Don't fill counters with bulky appliances like stand mixers or blenders. "For me to put something on my counter, I have to use it all the time," Kelsey says. Wooden spoons get top placement next to the stove, and pots stay out for easy access.
