kitchen basics

Kitchen storage inspiration.

Confession time.

I have a secret that explains why my kitchen cabinets are over-the-top uncluttered.

It is a realllly simple secret.

Ready for it?

 

Everyday items get to live inside with me.

Specialty dishes, serving trays, party glasses, randomly used gadgets, and “pretties” have to live outside.

In the garage.

In see-through tubs

All we have to do is dum-de-dum-de-dum stroll a few feet and gaze through the tubs to see what item gets to play inside for the day.

Simple as that.

Try it.

You may discover that your “extra” stuff can be quite inspiring.

It is a great feeling.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    What a great idea! I wonder how we can do this in terms of our small apartment…

      Good question, Jedd. Garages are a luxury when one doesn't have one.

      Let's see. When Dennis and I had our first apartment we were just starting out and did not have tons of extra stuff. We could've used the long and short see-through tubs and had them under the bed. Or, the larger see-through tubs and stacked a few in the hall coat closet. Even one tub to store extra less-used items can make a difference.

      Great question.

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
