More to Discover

On the porch a vintage cupboard

Filled with seldom used kitchen stuff,

more outdoor candle holders, popcorn maker

tupperware used only for large holiday, rice cooker etc.

A dresser normally in a bedroom

 does fabulous storage duty.

Very deep drawers hold scads of items.

From stationery to holiday paper products, 

summer outdoor tablecloths, 

recipe folders, cookbooks and more

Anything long and skinny goes here:

Chopsticks, drinking straws, plastic serve ware

magnets, cheese servers, etc.

Another drawer in kitchen made available

for other supplies.

I only use cloth napkins, so I have many....

The porch is right off the kitchen making

 all of this easy to grab.

My platters, pitchers, and cake plates are stored 

out in the open and

look pretty. Yes, I need to do a 

quick wash before using, 

but that takes just a minute.

Next time you are feeling overcrowded

with stuff look at your arrangements

 and maybe repurpose furniture for

a different use, and keep an eagle eye out

for sets of drawers and cupboards

when attending fleas, auctions and garage sales.

Because I store items in so many ways,

the usual storage places like kitchen drawers

and closets can be kept neat and tidy

because nothing is overcrowded.

When things are tidy,

you can find everything

 and clean it much easier.

Hope some of these 

give you ideas for your home.
