Kitchen Systems + New Furniture Updates

Hi!  Let’s dive right in because I know you’re here for the good stuff – the organizing wins and the pretty new pieces that are making our rental feel more like home.

Since we moved in May, I’ve been slowly but surely getting our systems dialed in. You know how it is – you can unpack all the boxes, but until you actually live in a space for a bit, you don’t really know what systems will work. Well, I finally cracked the code on a few kitchen situations that were driving me crazy, and I also treated myself to some furniture upgrades that I’m completely in love with.

Kitchen Updates

Let me start with the kitchen because honestly, this is where I spend most of my time and where good systems make the biggest difference in daily life. I tackled a few key areas that needed better organization, and the difference is night and day. Starting with my coffee and supplement situation. A-hem…Priorities!

This cabinet was a jumbled mess of varying sized and shaped containers. Using snap-lock lidded containers and a turntable, order has been restored!

This corner of the kitchen is the most visited because this is where we make smoothies, grab electrolytes, fill up pre or post workout drinks or make coffee. I smile every time I open this cabinet!

Once I had that organized, I wanted to move the coffee pods from the jar into an empty drawer below this counter. I’m trying to eliminate as much counter clutter as possible. I found this great organizer that holds 40 or 50 pods. Mine holds 40. And I added a bamboo drawer box to hold my frother collection…

Since I was working on the coffee, I then moved on to the mugs. They had been stacked 2 high, which is a recipe for them falling and breaking. I found this pretty set of acrylic risers for the cabinet and we’re all set now…
