It's Real Life~ Store It- Kitchen

This weeks theme is Store It: Kitchen over at Farm Fresh Jessica's.

I am late this week because my husband decided to work from home yesterday and took over my internet and basically the whole house. I don't know why he thought he could work from home and have it be a quiet work environment with an 18 month old running around. Obviously he is laking in the common sense department some days.

I have a huge kitchen with so many cabinets that I don't even use them all. However that doesn't mean that they are organized. Especially since this kitchen was made for a tall person and that I am not.

All these photos where taken by the rules of no cleaning before snapping. Everything is still relatively clean considering we just had Thanksgiving last week and I am having a PartyLite party this week. Otherwise I am sure it would have collected more clutter than what is seen here.

So here is my kitchen in all its glory.

Top of the fridge. I don't give this area too much thought because I am short.

Most of this stuff is Austin's.

Kitchen utensils are kept in this apple crock on the stove or on the table so that they are handy.

Under the table. Generally just the toaster is kept here but Austin likes to put anything on it that he doesn't know where it belongs.
At the moment there are some duh things on it like the fish tank filters and Mason's swim floaty.

These are the very top cabinets by the ceiling. Just misc junk and my corelle baking dishes.
NOTE~~ I am standing on a chair and still have to be on my tip toes to get to the top shelf.

Glasses, plates, bowl, measuring cups, mixing bowls, sippy cups and the ever important tea.

Cabinets above the windows. Stand mixer, extra plates and bowls, waffle maker, a really ugly cat candle that Austin got me for my birthday many many years ago.

More cabinets above the window. My blender, cookie jar, and open paper towels.
Everything else was left by previous owners and I just didn't care.

Even more cabinets up by the ceiling.

Baking goods, fry daddy, a pampered chef chopper that I've had for 5 years and it hasn't been out of the box yet. Austin's extra new gloves.

The actual food cabinet. I did have this organized but Austin thought it need some improvement and I just haven't changed it back yet.

Junk drawers. Literally JUNK.

Drawers to the left of the sink.

Hot pads and can opener.

Misc kitchen utensils. Measuring cups.

Cook books and cooling racks.

Pie and loaf pans. Custard bowls.

Under sink. The water bottle is my Windex. Austin broke the bottle.

The kitchen sink cabinet lock.

The silverware drawer. The silverware that breaks all the time are the ones with the brown handles.

Today is towel laundry day otherwise this drawer would be full.

Cake pans and cutting board.

Baggies and wraps.

Austin's junk food drawer and important receipts.

Yet another misc junk drawer. Just how many does one family need.

Misc cabinet by fridge.

Coffee maker, Scentsy warmer, flower pot with impatients.
Impatients don't do well in the house from about November to March. As soon as the days start to get longer they do really well. Until then they look like this.

Water cabinet. We added some insulation so hopefully it doesn't freeze this year.

Pots and pans.

Kitchen sink. I leave the strainers out because otherwise I would be constantly putting them away and getting the back out again.
