I moved to a brand-spanking-new, never-been-used, I-never-wanna-leave apartment and life is great! You see, my last kitchen was wonderfully dear to my heart, but it was old and had layers of oldness built into it. One of those spaces that although everything had a proper home (and things were always in their homes), never felt clean despite my constant spritzing and scrubbing. So this is a real treat. Throw in all of my wedding gifts and Tidy Husband and I are basically the most lucky couple on the block. I could go on for days. But I won't.

Point is that I worked/have been working really hard to make sure the tidiness and practicality level in my new kitchen is near perfect. That means multiple trips to Bed Bath and Beyond, Ikea and The Container Store to swap around spatulas if their handles are too bulky or add another container to fully maximize a nook that I found in the back left corner of a cabinet. It runs deep. 

But enough about me. I want you to learn some of the lessons and tips that have gone into creating my v tidy kitchen.  Photo proof (and links, obvs) included. Go nuts!
