Hi Becky!! So...the best thing I ever did with my tupperware/snap containers is I store each one with the lid ON. Solves the following: 1. They stay together. 2. The inside of the containers remain dust-free. 3. No guessing on what lids fit. 4. They stack and stay neat!
@lisawallace3124 Жыл бұрын
seems to me they would take up a lot more space that way? I just bought a bunch of lock & lock that are all the same size. (seriously, like 40 of the same container) They stack perfectly, all the lids fit all the containers, they happen to fit perfectly in my work lunch bag, and since they are rectangular (as opposed to round) they fit better in the fridge!

Becky, the smartest thing I did when moving was to unpack, label all the cupboards, drawers and shelves with green painter's tape and a sharpie, and then move the labels (and stuff) around until I figured out the way the kitchen worked best for us. It took a while, but I needed the visual cues of the labels.

On the outside, where you can see them, of what you've put inside. Often the first try at arranging things doesn't quite work, so this was a way for me to move things about a bit until it felt like everything was in the right place. Plus, when my kids were younger, I kept the labels up for a while (maybe a month?) so they could figure out where everything was in our new kitchen 😃

You might want to rethink replacing the wire shelving in the pantry with the solid wood. As I was watching it occurred to me that if that’s solid, you won’t be able to see through it like you can now and you’re ALWAYS going to have to grab a ladder when you want to look up there for something. This way you can see through the shelves into your glass jars and go right to it instead of dragging your ladder along the length to find what you need…

Hello. I would like to give a couple of suggestions: - You could use some of the moving boxes' cardboard to lie on top of the wire shelf. It would protect them from getting dirty and it would give you a more stable base to place items on top of. Since you are planing on renovating the kitchen this could be a temporary option bu if you would like to have a more durable solution you could try wood or other materials. - You could put some cooking book in those display areas of the drawers. I don't know if they would fit but it's an option. Hope any of these ideas would be of help. Excuse me if I made any mistakes writing this, English is not my mother language.

The molasses on the lower shelf brought back memories of when my son got his little hands on a bottle of maple syrup I had on a lower shelf. When I turned around and saw him in his little onesie pj's completely covered he started belly laughing, got up and proceeded to run through the house. Hard to believe that was 29 years ago. It was memorable 🤣

Love that your getting it in order because when the baby comes omg make sure to label things like flour and sugar because in between cooking making bottles and changing diapers you may pick up the wrong thing 😂😂 with my oldest I was cooking and got breast milk out the fridge made a mistake put it in the mashed potatoes yeah my husband never knew 🤦🏽♀️

I don’t ever comment on KZfaq, but I just thought you should know that you really inspire me to be a better person. I really look up to you for your positivity and outlook on life. You always manage to see beauty in the little things and you constantly point out the things in life that you’re grateful for. I see you as an older sister and I really look up to you. Thank you, Becky!

I've seen people put things like grains, cereals, peanuts etc in those show drawers. That looks really cool, if it's all filled to the top. But I like the mentioned idea for cookbooks!
@svanhildnyberg7171 Жыл бұрын
Since counter space in the kitchen is sparse, I wood leave the rice cooker on the counter in the pantry. It is easy to take the inner bowl to the kitchen and fill it with washed rice and water and cook it in the pantry. The same with slow cooker and so on. Good luck figuring out your kitchen and pantry.

Drawers with glass fronts, front sections - spaghetti noodles, rotini, egg noodles, rice, lentils, dry beans & peas, dried hot peppers, dried tomatoes, etc. Pretty sure there are polycarbonate containers (or even mason jars) that would fit that front section of each drawer and those would make a nice & also utilitarian usage of those front drawer spaces.
@susanwells6487 Жыл бұрын
You could also consider redoing the front of the drawer with a solid front, utilizing more drawer space for practical items since they are basically unusable space now and doesn’t sound like you have extra space in your working area. You could put onions or garlic in them as they are. Look on Pinterest for inspiration. 🙂

The glass fronted drawers were originally meant to show the contents of the drawer, like beans, rice, flour, pasta. You're not using them that way, but could put those things in the front part anyway if you want to. It's a great "country store" look. Love what you're doing with your new house! You go girl! 💖

Cardboard on top the wire shelving helps to clean the shelves with ease and doesn't allow for dust to go through the slats. You can put the rubber shelf lining on them to keep items from sliding around. You are making great progress.

No idea if this is good timing to suggest but will anyway. Trash can under sink: Could it be either on a roll out shelf as well or even do a new door that you can open with a foot touch instead of hands? Sinks: Not seeing it yet but maybe kitchen and downstairs garden kitchen could have a sink with foot pedals as well....? Microwave area: Cut that whole tumor away and make it what you want. I mean we all know Josh can definitely make that area better with no sweat. Pantry: Maybe mount a pull down shade (something nice not basic) for shelving where vinegar is Can the boxes slide on a blanket where they're going so you don't have to carry? Along with so many want to add affirmation to you that you're doing very well with this multiple plate spinning situation. You have a lot to be proud of in your work life.

Good morning Becky, you are so smart to filter out and organize your kitchen in such a smart way. You should choose a cabinet just for the baby. It is amazing just how much stuff is needed for your little one. Becky, maybe that short cabinet by the microwave would work for the baby’s things. Becky you are knocking it out. As you work & live in the house specially in the kitchen you will find the best way to live & organize.Enjoy your dinner. Until next time.

I use a medium size shallow basket to keep my lids in. My mother did that for me and it tends to save some space.

Just a thought for future projects: I would take the wire shelving in the pantry out and replace them with basic white cabinets from Ikea.

Becky just a little idea. I would create a list somewhere for the Kitchen Renovation. Each time you come across something that you find isnt really working or could be done better, add it to the list for when your kitchen is designed.

Love how you go through the thought process of how and why you're putting certain things in certain places. I can see the puzzle pieces coming together to make a beautiful picture 🙂. Have you considered placing some of your flowers from the garden (after they're preserved for use in your different projects) in the shadow box fronts to the quad of cabinets? Assuming that if they're sealed tight it shouldn't effect the other items in the cabinet. You could get another use out of the flowers as a decoration before they're made into something else.
