Buy this space saving, rainbow, food prep nesting set
>I’ve been lusting after this 8-Piece Food Preparation Nesting Set ever since I started using my kitchen more often. I have a super cramped kitchen and this setup is just WAY too convenient. Wanna see all the things that are nested together in this rainbow of efficiency?
6 ways to pimp your tiny rental kitchen
Our kitchen is teensy. I can pretty much touch both walls ay once, in both directions. I love to cook and bake, so it was important to me that even though the kitchen was small, it worked well and held everything I need at arm’s reach without chaos in every cupboard.
We’re renters, so while I could write a million posts about things I’d do in this kitchen if I owned it (pot rack, wall mounted lid racks, more sensibly proportion cabinets, extra shelving… etc), here are some ideas that anyone can do — whether you own your house or not.
Reuse wine crates as shelving
If you have access to wine crates (you just might if you’re planning a large party, work for a restaurant, or enjoy buying wine in bulk) you have access to awesome modular shelving units that work wonders in a few key spaces.
A retro dining room & kitchen makeover with ’50s style & chalkboard paint
You often see home makeovers going from retro to more traditional upgrades. Which often makes me sad, because I’m BIG into retro kitchens and living rooms. But Jenn Fletcher from BlondeShot Creative took her dining room and kitchen from “perfectly fine” to “perfectly AWESOME” with retro makeovers.
Use press-and-seal wrap to protect fridge shelves
Protecting your refrigerator shelves from permanent messes (and smells!) isn’t too hard if you employ some press-and-seal style plastic wrap.
Darth Vader can be helpful in the kitchen
I can’t even explain the face I made when I saw Allison‘s kitchen utensil holder. It’s probably the face you’re making right now seeing her supplies that live in this Darth Vader Halloween bucket! But wait until you see the bonus photo for even more face-making fun.
Paint the handles of wooden spoons
…More like AWESOME idea of the day. Turn your old wooden spoons into a color-coordinated rainbow-dipped set. Crystal from A Little Bit Funky posted a whole tutorial on her site — including what she used to seal up the spoons safely. You could use them as art OR as useful utensils!
I kicked my closet-kitchen up a notch with a black wall
I painted my kitchen nook the other day! My mini-kitchen-in-a-nook started out looking…a little dull.
So to brighten up my kitchen and make it pop as its on space in my apartment, I painted it black. Black: new hot color for kitchens?
