3.COOKBOOKS in the kitchen goes without saying but they can really add to clutter if they don’t have a dedicated place to live. Try containing them to one area using a box or a cute vintage basket like this one below.
Also, dont forget about that space above your fridge for cookbook storage!

4. MAGAZINES can be stored at the side of your kitchen cabinets – isn’t this idea perfect for a small kitchen?
5. LOOSE PAPERS: Blue I Style blog has a great system in place for organizing paper stacks on your kitchen counters, but using these mini shelves with baskets beside your cabinets is also a great option for hiding paper work.

KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS AND ORGANIZATION IDEAS SAY WHAT? HERE ARE A FEW OTHER POST YOU MIGHT LIKE
I do enjoy receiving your posts – like the milk bottle ideas, very handy. But Im posting just this time on our seasonal change here in New Zealand. We have had very high temps resulting in drought conditions – its hard to go outside for too long as NZ has one of the highest
incidences of skin cancer in the world. I smiled at you wanting to garden now that spring and a little sun has arrived (and I read that your weather has been atrocious), whilst I cannot spend time in my garden because of the heat – where I live we have had no rain for almost four months – we seem to be polar opposites – too hot here – too cold over there! But do keep your posts coming – I enjoy them for the sheer difference and variety. Kate, NZ PS No, Im not a professional weather girl!
Haha loved this kate, it really made me smile so thank you for that. You could have fooled me about being a professional weather girl – you sound like a natural!
Where did you get that outdoor 3 tier planter. It’s attractive and deep enough to hold the fruit?
I love the idea to get the electronics off the counter. The hanging basket is brilliant for the hand-helds that need a recharge!
I am NOT a fan of having utensil hanging off the bottom cabinet sides. Gross!!! Imagine how much dirt and stuff gets on them especially when sweeping or just walking past. Yuck!!!
I can relate to that . I guess it depends on how high you plan to hang the rail and what type of utensils you put on it 🙂
Place it inside a cabinet door— use free wooden paint stirrers for the extra thickness so you don’t drill thru your door thickness!
