    Stop calling yourself dumb! That's no way to talk to my friend! Loving the tour, lots of things I'll dream of having! I love the way your kitchen is too! I do love how all our bottom "cabinets" are pull-out drawers! But it wouldn't work for Caraway stuff, alas (not that I can get them right now anyway). I definitely have kitchen envy!! It's so gorgeous! I miss my spice drawer! Now they all have to stand up! THey're still alphabetical, but they aren't as pretty that way,

    My fav was the cheese drawer lol, I like how everything is organized! I have a very cool spacious 1960s(ish?) kitchen. But can never get the grout completely clean! I’ve tried bleach and steam cleaners too. I don’t like the divider in my sink either, but I don’t want to sacrifice the pretty tile. I should repaint the sink again though. I sometimes wish I had a dishwasher or garbage disposal but if I wash dishes every day it’s not too bad, and having a mesh strain drainer helps.

    Those deep pantry cupboards. You always forget what is in the back because you can see it. And you have to pull everything out to get what is in the back. Small things I put in bins. I did install a pull out wood drawer at the bottom, that is snacks and crackers. At 5’ and 70s big heavy bins and storing heavy appliances in cupboards is out. In this kitchen I have 7 narrow drawers, like 9”. I designed this kitchen, pretty much. I put in 2 sinks in 2 different locations in the kitchen. One is in my prep area, a bar sink think they called it. The other, regular size sink is across the room next to the dishwasher. That was done to avoid my husband and I clashing in the same space trying to do our own thing. Normally he cleans and I cook. Still, we have clashes, him putting dishes away or in the dish washer and I am cooking or trying to get a dish that I need. Biggest fail, I specified 4’ cabinets, but failed to specify 4 shelves per cabinet. Of course, I can’t reach much above the bottom shelf. I collect depression glass and yellow ware, so I have a lot of dishes.

    Love your kitchen tours! Some of the best advice I got from you was to not have a “junk” drawer. I got rid of the junk drawer & never looked back. I have a “utility” drawer in another room for “miscellaneous” items & tools and it’s much more practical and contained than my previous junk drawer which truly had junk in it lol.
    Also setting up zones in the kitchen 👌
    Would love to see how you use your large spin brush. I bought one because it seemed like a great idea but I feel like I struggle using it.

  • @dpandjessobx

    Love your kitchen! My kitchen is working maybe 60% of the time. I changed 2 lower cabinets to all pullout drawers which really helps bc I have MS and struggling to get down low and reach into deep cabinets - no. I have a decent pantry but I feel like I need to come up with a better system. In 2020 I got bins to corral like food and take advantage of shelf depth. I’ve been decluttering a bit every few months and that’s helping tremendously! I’m inspired again to tackle it this Fall, so thank you!

    We have one of those dishwasher magnets but never know if it's telling the 'truth.' SO my husband and I set the rule that the person who OPENS THE DISHWASHER MUST TURN AT LEAST ONE CUP UPRIGHT (almost always we just turn over all of them). This way we can tell, visually, that the dishes are clean plus the cup bottoms that always accumulate water are turned and can start drying, along with any other dishes that need to air dry some more. Works for us.

      We rented a house with a truly tiny kitchen. My hobby is cooking, particularly French pastries. What made it more doable for us was the following:
      Using the hall closet as a pantry
      Putting in a pot rack over the stove
      Getting a caddy to hold flatware (no drawers)
      Getting a wall mounted dish rack
      Pegboard for tools
      Having a rustic dining table so you have prep space
      Good luck!

I am so tired of seeing kitchens with one plate and cup per household member...one spatula etc. I have a fully stocked kitchen as well. It makes my cooking life easier and therefore, more enjoyable. FYI...you MUST try the reusable scrub cloths (for washing dishes etc) from Maker’s. I used to use the non-scratching sponges and once I tried their cloths...I am not going back!

    Disclaimer at the beginning was super unnecessary, but I get it, some people can be nasty. We're here for the organizing and Clover footage ❤❤ The nasties can get out of here!
    I really need to rework my zones. My kitchen has things in off places to ensure appliances are plugged in, but my SIL is convincing me to ditch some of them in favor of an air fryer 😅
    As for magneted oven mitts, I just put a magnet hook on the side of my oven. i found some very strong ones on Amazon, they're simple and black. I never considered having magnets inside of the kitchen soft goods, can they be removed for washing? You could also sew a little square of fabric, a pocket, onto your mitts and slide a little magnet in if you find ones you love that match your aesthetic.

  • @susanbeechler1753

    I’m an alphabetical freak with spices. I definitely agree that crushed red pepper should be filed under red pepper. Because when you go to look for it in your cabinet you just think red pepper. 👍🏻 but I did notice that your tumeric came before thyme. Also cumin ground should go before seed and garam before garlic. I love that I’m not the only one who does that. My kids always thought I was a little odd. But hey when you’re going to look for a spice you don’t got time to be searching. Most people know their alphabet so I think it makes it easier to get what you need. Unfortunately I don’t have a drawer I can put spices in. I have to use a cabinet And therefore it makes it a little more difficult. But that’s about all I have that’s organized. You need to come to El Paso and show me a thing or two. 😀

    My under stairwell pantry is the current issue. LIke yourself, we do a lot of cooking at home, but our kitchen is tiny, so we have to make use of this pantry for food storage, large bakeware, water bottles, etc. We also have our recyclables bin on the floor. It is full to the point things are always falling off the shelves and it's very messy. I use the bakeware to contain some things. We just outfitted the door of the pantry with wire shelves and that did help a little but not enough. Not sure how I'm going to deal with it.

    I often say I'm dumb as a door knob, depending on what I'm talking about, I may say that, it's ok to admit you need a little help with certain appliances doesn't make one dumb for it...
    My mum could do with your help, each time her area gets tidied it's messy within a day to a week... when my desk gets tidied on the other hand it remains tidy until I place an order for something and I just dump on my desk but mine stats tidy longer but in saying that I need better storage, and organisation for my stuff, I'm getting a 8 cube storage unit I've tried getting the 16 cube but have had trouble finding one, but either way I'm getting one hopefully this week snd have it put together next week will make things so much better for my area I just need the cubes that go into them so I can hide my stuff better and not worry about judgement..
