In my rental apartment, my kitchen is really small, but if you have ever fallen down the kitchen organization rabbit hole on Pinterest like me, you've dreamed of having an organized and aesthetically pleasing kitchen. That said, a lot of the products available to achieve this aesthetic can be quite pricey! I found out a super simple way to match the vibe that wouldn’t break the bank!

finally. a small kitchen that actually is a small kitchen! too often people call their kitchens small and to my NYC eyes, its the size of a bedroom! i also love all the zero waste tid bits that just happened to be stuck in there. i also try to live zero waste and it's so hard but you have to keep reminding yourself that it's not about being perfect and if everyone did it imperfectly, the world would be a better place. thanks for all the tips Rachel!

one thing though if you store your food in glass jars make sure it's not light sensitive. lentils and nuts especially benefit from not being stored in light or in containers that don't let much light through. my grandparents have a walnut tree and we get lots of walnuts which we then crack and freeze so the omega 3 and other essentials don't get lost and the nuts don't go bad before we can use em all up :)

Think about load (force), the shelf risers should have been made with the topper on top versus the top load only being supported by 4 screws....does that make sense? Some dishes are heavy especially over a long span...it will dip over time (plus it would look better to not see the endgrain on the top ends.

I am trying not to buy anything in plastic if I can help it, though I don't always succeed either.

Sometimes stuff at bulk barn is so much more expensive than buying at the grocery store. E.g. confectioners sugar. I was super disappointed because they have giant bins out around xmas time. Their snacks are the best for portion control though, you can just get a few goodies instead of having a giant bag of it.
@winnielou8206 Жыл бұрын
I agree, sadly they can be ver, espensive. One idea is to see what gets sold packaged in paper (like sugars and flour) compared to plastics. Obviously no packaging is ideal, but if thst is not affordable, cutting down on plastic packaging is a good step.

I tried to figure out the workings of why it was leaning and just couldn't figure it out, so I realized that if I pull the cord tight that maybe it would stay upright sooooo I pulled the cord really tight and put a knot in it from where the cord comes out hoping that the lamp would stay upright, looked pretty good for a minute until I put it on the table, now it looks like the leaning Tower of Pisa, LOL

I’m a homeowner, but this was still helpful for inspiration because it’s a ranch-style home from the late 70’s with a small kitchen, and we’re already planning on doing a big reno in like 10 years where we’ll extend the size of the whole room outwards into the backyard about 13 feet, but until then it would be pointless and a waste of money to do anything expensive or super labor-intensive when it’s just all gonna get ripped out eventually anyway. So, little non-permanent updates can improve the space and maximize our small amount of storage (house doesn’t have a pantry) until then. Thank you!

quick tip from my years of b12 deficiency... nutritional yeast is light and heat sensitive so if you're buying for nutrition reasons its best to store it in opaque containers, in your cupboards, or buy prepackaged vs. in bulk :)
