I love clean lines and simplicity, so even if it makes my drawers and cabinets look like a total mess, I'd rather throw it in there then leave it on a counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-88839 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 22:31:38 +0000 Meridian 88839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an 8 foot long counter and it's STILL cluttered... ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-88795 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:14:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 88795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had less because it would mean less cleaning.

We have such a tiny kitchen right now but so many kitchen gadgets. In our new house the kitchen will be at least twice the size anddd we'll have a basement and pantry! I can't wait to get all the clutter off the counters. Not have to move 3 things to get to something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86562 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 09:13:28 +0000 pastemoo 86562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: me neither! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86542 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 03:10:12 +0000 BSB 86542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a small kitchen in our apartment.

We have the worst cluttered kitchen ever, and we don't even have a microwave out, but we have<br /> -soda machine, coffee maker, toaster oven, 2 spices racks (we use a lot of spices in our cooking), knife block, dish rack, bread maker, deep frying, 2 blenders, kitchenaid, air popper, spoon/utensil holder, cutting boards behind the sink.... We use all those things fairly frequently (ok, not the fryer).<br /> Our kitchen counters are *very* cluttered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86470 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 20:56:31 +0000 googly-eyes 86470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kitchen is about to get a good cleaning and reorganized but right now I have a spice rack, a bunch of cooking spoons/spatula/etc in a container, microwave, toaster oven, rice maker, knife box.

But man, our countertops are packed with stuff: coffee maker, oil/vinegar dispensers, pepper mill (too large for cabinet), utensils in utensil holder, knife block, toaster oven, kitchenaid mixer, rice cooker, bottle sterilizer, paper towel (and holder), wine rack, various other baby related items (baby food jars, snacks, sippy cups, bottle drying rack)...it just all does not fit into the cabinets. </p> <p>It drives me and the husband crazy but we've already gone through several rounds of purging and we still have so much...I just need a bigger kitchen. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86382 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 13:56:14 +0000 msmom 86382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would LOVE to have nothing on my counters!! We just don't have enough cabinet space, though... or maybe we just have too much shiz? I have a dish rack, bottle drying rack (for sippy cups now), toaster oven, coffemaker, bowl of fruit and rice cooker. ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86373 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 13:36:09 +0000 sulli301 86373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like clutter at all &amp; my kitchen counters have more on them then I'd like but I just keep it clean &amp; no excess so I don't go crazy! I have a spice rack, utensil crock, stand mixer, knives, bowl with fruit &amp; a drying rack for LOs bottles/pump parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86368 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 13:19:07 +0000 katdevargas 86368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a big fan of the clutter, either. we have a toaster oven, pepper mill (too tall to fit in the cabinets), utensil crock filled with our cooking spoons, etc., block of knives (which I want to get rid of the block &amp; just hang the knives up on a magnet), &amp; a butter crock so we've always got some soft butter. so, 5 things, spread out over 3 coutertops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86347 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 12:06:37 +0000 tequiero21 86347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's cleaner than usual because my cleaning lady cleans it, but it's still cluttered. so many gadgets - coffee maker, printer (we have a wireless printer and it had a fax so we put it there), knives, toaster oven, the list goes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86338 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 11:27:55 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 86338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a lot of storage, but I managed to devote two cabinets to the electronics so they stay out of site. The only things we keep on the counter are the knives and a holder for the utensils (spatulas, spoons, wisk, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86197 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:30:20 +0000 mynoahbear 86197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate cluttered counters but I can't seem to declutter our counters. It's gotten much worse after we had LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86191 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:25:18 +0000 heffalump 86191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours are also pretty cluttered. Every once in a while I'll go and try to find some things on there a home. But I also like to have a lot of things where I can get to them quickly, so they stay on the counter if I use them a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86173 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:36:55 +0000 joyjoy 86173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a lot of storage either, so I keep some things on our counter--flour canister, sugar canister, LeCreuset pots (stacked), yogurt machine, salt pig, pepper grinder, olive oil, utensil crock, mixer, stack of colorful (frequently used) bowls. Everything is on the counters closest to the stove/my workspace, though. The rest of the counters are completely clear, so it looks less insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86124 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:10:59 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 86124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate clutter, so I try to keep everything out of sight. If we're not using the toaster, I put it in a cupboard. My husband uses a french press for his coffee and always leaves it on the counter with his thermos, which drives me nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86123 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:09:17 +0000 StbHisMrs 86123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal small appliances, I try to keep it clutter free. Toaster, Microwave, Utensil crock, knives, coffee tray with a grinder, filters, and 2 mugs, wine rack and a dish rack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86115 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:01:12 +0000 Rubies 86115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WE don't have a lot of counter space as it is and we have a bunch of stuff on them - dish rack, rice cooker, knife block, fruit bowl, mail tray (a tray that holds mail, pens, stamps, paper clips, and other random things). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86114 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:56:19 +0000 chopsuey 86114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My counter's normal.. paper towel holder, dish rack, blender, toaster oven, knives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lots-of-stuff-on-your-kitchen-counters#post-86101 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:47:02 +0000 polkadots 86101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had a bigger kitchen., We don't have much storage so our counters are full!

Its overwhelming sometimes but we have a small galley kitchen so we work with what we got.. </p> <p>Clean or cluttered kitchen counters? </p>
