Kitchen

[KateChopin]

Limited real estate there. I have a coffee station with my Keurig, Truvia, honey, etc., and I have canisters. I also have a toaster, which I rarely use, but my daughter does. This winter I kept my slow cooker out, since I am using it often. Then there is the utensil container, sal and pepper, napkins, paper towel holder, fruit stand...sigh. And usually a bottle of wine...always red, always room temp...so much stuff!

Fortunately, I have a lot of space in my kitchen and a lot of counters.

I do not like clutter - like, AT ALL. But there are things I do want handy so I have my big LEM vacuum sealer on one counter along with a small dish drainer.

On another I have a Wrapmaster for cellophane, a little 19" TV on a little stand with a drawer, some pretty glass canisters I've had for decades, two utensil crocks, and an 18" square Boos board.

On the other side of the stove is a small counter that just has another two utensil crocks and a knife block.

On another counter I have a convection oven, a contact grill, and a Foodsaver. On the last one I have my Vitamix.

Sounds like a lot of stuff but it's really not at all cluttery. I get anxious with clutter, so I have to have lots of clean area.

You beat me to it!

Way more than I should. In addition to the usual (small appliances, etc.) I have some decorative stuff to cover the switch plates and outlets. I don't like looking at those.

There is so much ummmm stuff on my kitchen counters there isn't room for projects. I have to slide things out of the way!

Definitely too much stuff. I have tried eliminating some things, but my DH just digs them out again and puts them back. haha Now things have migrated over to the island. My DH just loves this electric water heating pot that seems to magically move around the counter to any available plug.

We also have a toaster oven, a mug tree with mugs no one uses, two baskets with snacks and fruit in them (DH needs his snacks close by he said..haha), a couple cereal canisters, my canisters with flour, sugar, etc., a wooden block with knives in them, a knife sharpener (which, again, magically re-appears on the counter every time I put it away), a ceramic holder for the wooden spoons, whisks, tongs, etc., and a dish drainer for when we wash dishes by hand.

That mug tree is next on my list to be relocated to a place far far away. LOL

Not much space on my countertop. I have a Keurig mini, a toaster oven, two utensil holders, a pepper grinder, salt bowl, and a mug tree with mugs I never use. Does eveyone have that?

I have very limited counter space but I LOVE to cook. I have my Keurig, a toaster, blender and food processor - also salt dish, pepper mill, two knife blocks, large utensil container with tongs, spatulas, wooden spoons, whisks, etc. Very crowded. Oh, also basket with onions, shallots, garlic, yams, etc.

My Keurig. My favorite orange ceramic pumpkin cookie jar. A set of glass canisters with matching wine rack. My KitchenAid red stand mixer. A small accent lamp next to a small sign that says ""When in Doubt Add More Wine""
