Feel free to ask questions, I don't have a ton of commentary tonight!
My first tip for kitchens is keep the clutter off the counters! I am obsessive about my counters. I dont keep appliances out (in fact I keep those to a minimum anyhow-they must all fit under my sink) and I dont let everyday stuff accumulate.
I run my dishwasher constantly it seems so I can keep on top of the dishes so my sink stays empty too. I hate a dirty sink! Plus I'd rather have a few nicer items and wash them often than have a BUNCH of stuff taking up room.
Keep only what you NEED, and try to purchase quality items. If it is pretty it doesn't look so messy when it is left out!
My silverware drawer and all my teas and accessories for guests:
My pots and pans, ALL my bake ware etc (there is one stock pot missing, it is in the fridge with my turkey stock I made yesterday). The top shelf is a dehydrator behind the bread basket in case you were wondering.
My dishes (some were in the dishwasher) just the basic set I got for my wedding 9 years ago!
This is actually an older picture the dessert glasses were actually given to a friend, and have been replaced with crystal dessert bowls that matched some of my other serving bowls (the middle shelf below) and get used a LOT more.
I'm missing a coffee cup and a few storage pieces in the picture, but the storage containers next right in the ones you see.
I'm embarrassed to say most of our drinking glasses were in the dishwasher! We also normally have a lot more Klean Kanteens on that middle shelf, but my husband took some with him and we used a couple out running errands today. Husband has replaced all his lids with stainless steel lids (they come with plastic lids but you can upgrade) and we haven't gotten around to getting rid of the original plastic lids yet, so that is why those are piled up in all my teacups!
Top shelf is my magic bullet blender (I love that thing) but I want to note that I got rid of almost all the accessories that came with it. Way to much clutter! I just have one big cup and one small one. The rest were donated and I've never needed them! My husband's waffle maker is tucked up there too. I HATE waffles! The dishes tucked in the back are my great grandmothers china. We use those to supplement our set when we have company.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of my kitchen. All I didn't show you in my lazy susan cabinet (because its hard to get into let alone photograph! It holds my mixing bowls, stainless steel strainer, apple master, vitamix and measuring cups. Also under my sink has a bread maker, juicer, commercial meat/bread slicer and crock pot.
