The heart of the house, where people spend the most time. Even at gatherings, everyone always ends up in the kitchen.
Not every kitchen functions flawlessly. And everyone uses the kitchen, which is why it is so important to know where things go.
Several years ago my family came to my house for the holidays, everyone was using the kitchen, helping with cooking and clean-up.
After they left, I had trouble finding things, like my colander. One of my sister’s had joked how it’s fun to work in other people's kitchens and put things away where you think they should go - not where the homeowner had it stored. I shared this with my mom and she remembered us doing that to her when we visited and said it was always an adventure finding things after we left.
Hopefully your family - those using the kitchen on a day to day - know where things go and are able to put them away. Take time to figure out what the best place is for the things you use most. Easy to get and easy to put away is crucial for your most used items.
