Think about it for a minute: Do you really need doors for the cabinets in your kitchen? Apartment Envy's Kerra Huerta took them off and she's never going back.
It seems like a silly idea at first glance, but it can be useful. Unless you have a major pest problem or dust problem, or have pets in the house, the contents of kitchen cabinets don't need robust protection. But you will use and access these items often, so why have one extra step to get to them? And then there are other hassles like a hard-to-open cabinet door or one that always needs to be slammed loudly. For your convenience, you might want to consider removing your cabinet doors altogether.
Huerta's tip seems especially useful for small kitchens like hers, where open cabinet doors can take up precious space, and give you the odd head injury too. The best part is that you can experiment with this trick easily to see if it works for you. Just unscrew the hinges and take off the doors, but don't remove the fittings yet. Try it out for a week or two and see if it works for you before making a long-term decision.
