Well the wait is over people, the anticipation can subside, you can rest easy with the new knowledge of where all of my kitchen utensils reside. Woohoo!! Bare with me and the obscene amount of pictures, it's worth it though, I promise.
Above is the picture that made me fall in love with our new house before we bought it. Can you blame a girl?! Completely bare and untainted by the everyday struggles.
Starting on the left of the kitchen we have the baking/coffee area.
Above the Keurig is where I keep all of my coffee, tea, creamers, mugs, etc.
The cabinet to the right of my coffee station has all of my baking ingredients, hand held mixer, sprinkles and other baking decor. I keep my AP flour and granulated sugar on the counter because they are used nearly every day.
To the right of my Kitchenaid pro mixer I keep the recipes I use most often. And wine, very large bottles of wine. Amen for Costco!
Directly above is where I store all of my bowls. Mixing, serving, glass, plastic.. You name it, if it is a bowl, it is in this cabinet.
Below is where I hoard all of my cupcake liners (sorry Dan, I know I have a slight problem.) And then my baking specific utensils. All at an easy arm's length away from my mixer!
Continuing to the right... Spices! So so so many spices.
And work out supplements that we haven't used in
And yummy olive oils, like my favorite black truffle infused evoo. This may sound redundant but I keep like things together. All of my oils, vinegars, etc. are with their peers.
Cajuns with cajuns, italians with italians, garlic with garlic. My spices are so segregated I could make jokes for days, but I won't because I want to keep my followers.
Next to the spices is the most dreaded cabinet/drawer/space, in existence. The tupperware. DUN DUN DUN! I could have organized it till the cows came home before this little mini shoot, but lets keep it real here people, this is the cabinet that you open and it avalanches down upon you. But I try to keep it somewhat simple, bottoms on bottom, tops on.. middle. You get the picture. I still have to search a little to find a matching pair but at least they aren't all completely ditched into a drawer like at my parents house (sorry mom!)
Below all that jazz is where all of our normal utensils are stored (pizza cutter, garlic press, ice cream scoops), as well as our plastic bags, wrap, tinfoil. Thennnn we have boring silverware. And chopsticks that have made it through two moves with us and remain unused.
Right above the amazing toaster oven, that my hunny picked out on his own while we were in the process of moving, we keep the small kitchen appliances that aren't used daily. This includes toaster, blender, food processor.. and so much more. Then our veggie bowl, which is mainly used for onions, garlic, and peppers.
To the left of the sink is where all of our glasses and drinkware live. It is far from the fridge, but close to the dishwasher.. so that battle wins.
Directly above the dishwasher is where all of the dishes and paper plates are. Because plates are heavy, picking them out is a pain in the butt, and Ikea is an hour away.. so dropping them is not an option!
Whew.. was that as exhausting for you as it was for me?? I will show you all my pantry, fridge, and below the counter cabinets in a future post. But until then, thanks for stopping by! Make sure to comment with what your favorite part of your kitchen is.
