Organize Your Kitchen
Use the following tips to help you get your kitchen organized and in tip-top shape.
Family Message Board
To create a stylish one-of-a-kind bulletin board for your kitchen, select a favorite fabric, and cover a sheet of corkboard. Then pick a complementary molding at your local framing shop, and have them finish the project. Don’t let your family miss a beat in their busy lives. Post dates and messages on the board for all to see.
Unexpected Storage
When it comes to storing decorative sprinkles, opt to place the clear bottles in an extra cast-iron cornbread pan. It’s easy to stow away in a drawer or cabinet, and cute enough to leave sitting out if you choose!
Ribbon Treats
Corral unruly ribbons in cupcake papers, and display your cupcakes in a holder made just for that purpose. Store ribbons in your favorite space to wrap, and they’ll be easily accessible.
Apothecary Jars
Glass apothecary jars come in all shapes and sizes, and are perfect for organizing a collection. Here, shiny cookie cutters fill the jars and keep the cutters handy. If you don’t collect cookie cutters, think of other items that’ll show prettily through jars.
Decorative Boxes
Inevitably a few cocktail napkins go unused after a party. Gather leftover napkins in a decorative metal box, such as this towel tin, for a colorful display and easy access. And remember, you can pull out the festive napkins even if the occasion isn’t fancy. Make family and friends feel special every day by placing napkins alongside a favorite treat.
Penny Candy Jars
Once upon a time, penny candy was stored in jars like these, but sadly no more. The jars, whether old or reproductions, are still great for storage. Since they’re made of glass, it’s easy to see the twine, string, or raffia inside.
Creative Antiques
Sometimes you can find old silver serving pieces at flea markets and thrift stores, but often parts are missing or broken. Think creatively and come up with a new use for the antique. Here, a relish server, without its original dishes, holds herbs in terra-cotta pots.
