hey it's Abby and today I'm excited to give you our full kitchen tour I've
showing you bits and pieces of our kitchen here and there but today you'll
really be able to see how it's laid out and where we keep everything I actually
rearranged a lot of things recently so you'll get to see where everything is in
our entire kitchen before we start the tour be sure to subscribe so that you

with the island. I love that the island is big and has a lot of storage space
underneath but it took me a couple tries to figure out the best way to use each
space. so let's look under here first. so in this section I keep a lot of my
baking stuff I do a lot of meal prep right here at the island so it's nice to
have it convenient right here where I can just grab what I need I kept all of
the clear glass containers right here on this top section and then down below
I have other mixing bowls and baking pans and things like that these two
drawers just hold a few miscellaneous items you can see this has birthday
candles and lighters our electric knife and a rolling pin to go along with the
baking stuff and this just holds a few decorative chargers that I use to set
the table we have more of our cookware in this side of the island on the far
side which is close to the stove we have our pots and pans and I just leave the
lids nested right on top of them and down below there are more pots and pans
and our colanders for straining items and then over here on this pull-out
shelf I have all of our bags and foil and wax paper and anything that comes in
a box we have on this pull-out shelf so I can just slide it out grab what I need
and push it back in. So this drawer is actually empty we have
some extra space in our kitchen which I'm excited about this drawer holds all
of our sharp items so we have a couple knife blocks to hold all the knives and
we also have apple corer and the bottle opener all right in here
so over on this side of the kitchen we have a super skinny cabinet that is
perfect for holding all of our cutting boards under the sink we keep all of our
cleaning supplies and sponges and rags we gave a full tour in another video
which I will link to in the description also in the description I will link to
sources for everything that I possibly can that we use in our entire kitchen so
check that if you're wondering where anything is from here at the back corner
of the kitchen we have a lot of cabinet space for storage which is nice let's
start with this skinny cabinet here I wasn't exactly sure what to put in it
because it was so narrow but we ended up using it as sort of a medicine cabinet
so we have our vitamins down on the bottom shelf and then the kids items are
on the second shelf so the things they use most often a lot of band-aids we go
through a lot of band-aids in our house and then the adult medicines are on the
upper shelves and you can see I just use little organizers I found them at home
goods and I just put little cross stickers on them to show that those are
medicine items in those cubbies here in this corner cabinet I am storing all of
our serving pieces so this can be kind of an awkward cabinet cause it's a weird
shape but it works really well for larger pieces that I can fit in there
lots of serving pieces we also keep our chip clips here in case we need to close
up anything when we're putting away the food after dinner
so this cabinet is our shake station we have everything we need to put together
our shakes in the morning
we keep our everyday dishware in this cabinet I have it organized by color and
then we also have some mason jars that we store food in those sometimes or I'll
put a bouquet of flowers in them they're right there and the basket holds our
little kitchen gadgets that we don't use very frequently so things that we still
need but it can be up high because we don't use them often so let's move down
to you the bottom part of the cabinets over here in the corner we have a lazy
susan in the corner cabinet and it holds all of our paper supplies so napkins
plates and cups we mostly use these when we have guests over for the boys
birthday parties.
so these two drawers behind me hold all of our utensils I lined both of these
drawers with contact paper to make them look pretty and then I just use these
acrylic drawer organizers that I found at Target and put all of our silverware
in this drawer so our normal silverware is here and our serving pieces are toward
the back and then over in this far drawer we have all of our little kitchen
gadgets that we use often like measuring cups can openers pizza cutters and that
type of thing I actually showed some of these things
in previous videos these are our food storage containers that we use for
leftovers I moved the plates and cups that the boys used over here on this
side of the kitchen so they were closer to our everyday dishes down below on the
far side we have the boys lunchboxes that they use for school and here on
this side I use little baskets to corral all of Donnie supplements that he uses
so they would all stay neatly in one place I use a lot of these mint colored
plastic bins from Target all over our kitchen I love them they're from Target
and they have different colors every season so you can probably find one that
matches your decor pretty easily so over here is our final set of cabinets
let's take a look up here these are all of our different types of glasses so
clear glasses on the bottom and then mugs and coffee holders and then the
glasses we use less often are up higher we'll take a quick peek in the top two
drawers
these are the drawers that I showed in last week's video that sort of act as
our junk drawers and hold all the things that we need to access easily if you
didn't catch our junk drawer video I will put a link to it in the description
in this next drawer here all of these things pretty much belong to Donnie he
is the coffee drinker in our family so we have a nice big drawer dedicated to all
of his coffee items you can see we have kind of a little coffee station here and
he also has a regular coffee pot that he will bring out from time to time and
these are his supplies to use for that as well.
finally this bottom drawer holds all of our dish towels and oven mitts I have
little separators in there so they each stay in their spot this last little
cabinet door has all of our baking trays and muffin tins I just use a little wire
organizer that I found at Bed Bath & Beyond so they can all stand up and stay
neat and tidy inside the door the last two spaces in our kitchen would be our
fridge and our pantry and we have dedicated videos to both of those so I
will put the links to them in the description of the web so that's our
kitchen I hope it was helpful to see where we keep everything and how it's
all laid out let me know in the comments what's the most difficult thing for you
to keep organized in your kitchen and before you go be sure to subscribe so
