Organizing Kitchen Counters

February 17, 2012   |   11 Comments

How do you set up your kitchen counters?  Are they pretty or functional?  Maybe both?  I have been working on having a very simple and clean looking counter top, that works for me.  I got rid of my canisters, I just don’t use them.  And my counters seem so much bigger!  Here are a couple of the things I have done to get myself organized in the kitchen.  Please excuse the pictures, it was a rather dreary day when I took them and it looks pretty dark. 

I found a new blog that I got stuck on for hours, literally.  A Bowl Full of Lemons, has some great organizing ideas, and I used her idea for the plate with coffee mugs on the counter.  Super cute idea!! 

 I love this shelf, it has so many different uses.  I have put snacks in it for my kids, bread, coffee supplies, pretties, etc.  It has so many possibilities and I really like the way it looks. 

 My Dish soap and counter cleaner beside the sink, now this kind of seems like it should be hidden away where no one can see it.  But, I use these things so much during the day, so I just recently decided to try leaving it out.  It has really made things much easier in the kitchen.  Funny, how one little change like that makes such a big difference. 

This I am not so sure about.  I found this little scale at an Occasional shop that has the absolute cutest things.  I have used it on the Holidays for decoration, such as pumpkins, snowmen, things like that.  Now I am kind of stumped, so I have my salt, pepper, tooth picks and when I’m not burning my candle it goes in there as well.  Any ideas?? 

 Our Monthly menu, I am so behind on this, we have been having these same  meals for the last four weeks.  Serious.  Ha!

I really do love this kitchen and I love rearranging things every so often for new looks.  I am really liking this open and clean feel though.  I think it may last a while.  🙂

Have a great weekend!!

    Beautiful kitchen! Just wondering if you have made anything yet out of Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible? I have it too and wondered if you recommended anything?

    Looking so good. Wish I had a before shot! I'd give anything to get my microwave off my countertop. Too big to fit above the stove, cabinet above hangs down too low:-(
