Hey it's Abby and I'm back in our kitchen today talking about our organized coffee station
and our organized smoothie station.
So I realize it hasn't been that long since I reorganized our kitchen but as we've lived
with it longer, I realized that there are some changes that could be made to make it
even more functional.
I'm excited to be partnering with InterDesign for today's video.
I've used their bins and products before in places like our organized junk drawer and
in our refrigerator and you're going to see how their bins and organizers have helped
us make our space even more effective and functional.
You've probably seen InterDesign's bins and organizational accessories at places like
The Container Store, Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and there are also a ton of
them on Amazon so those are some great places to look for them.
So first let me show you how we reorganized our coffee station.
If you remember from our kitchen tour, our Keurig used to be over next to the refrigerator
but I realized we were always filling it up with water from the sink so it made more sense
for it to be on this side of the kitchen.
I keep a few basic things that we use all the time on the counter but mostly everything
is tucked away in a cabinet so we can keep our counters pretty clear.
So other than the Keurig, I have these three small food storage bottles from InterDesign
that we're using to hold creamer, sugar, and marshmallows the boys like to use for their
hot chocolate.
I will link to these and all of the other products that I mention below in the description
so if you're looking for any of them, you'll find direct links there.
If you've watched my channel for any amount of time, you know I'm a little bit obsessed
with labeling so I used my Silhouette machine and some adhesive vinyl to label each of the
bottles so we can clearly see what's in each one.
If you have questions about how I do my labeling, I actually made a video all about it so I
can link to that in the description as well.
Let's take a look inside the cabinet.
On the first shelf of the cabinet, we are using InterDesign's stacking organizer bins
to hold all of our K-cups.
What I love about these bins is that they allow me to really maximize the space on this
shelf and I can separate the different types of K-cups that we have.
I used to have a little holder on our counter that would hold our K-cups but when Donnie
started really liking these softer K-cups for his coffee, that bin didn't really work
anymore so this was the perfect solution.
These bins are really flexible, they can hold the traditional K-cups or the softer kind
and they keep everything neat and separated so we have our hot chocolate, our tea, our
coffee, and you know where to go and get each type.
Again, everything is labeled with the vinyl labels.
Our second shelf holds our coffee mugs and again, to maximize the space we used a little
riser.
This is the InterDesign cabinet bin stackable shelf and it allowed us to fit two rows of
mugs neatly in the cabinet rather than just the one or trying to pile them on top of each
other and risk them getting broken or something like that.
The third shelf holds our travel mugs so they're easy to grab.
And then up at the top is all of our coffee supplies that we use with a more traditional
coffee maker.
We mostly use the Keurig for everything but we do have a traditional coffee maker tucked
up in one of our high cabinets that we mostly use when guests come over.
I've used some InterDesign Linus Vanity Organizer bins to make it easy to pull down what we
need from that top shelf anytime we're having guests we can easily see what's in them and
we can grab what we need very quickly.
So this cabinet ended up being perfect for all of our coffee supplies but I had to find
somewhere else to put all of our items that we needed to use to make our smoothies.
So let's take a look at what we did with those.
For our smoothie station, I used a tray to corral our toaster and magic bullet.
This makes them easy to tuck away out of sight if we don't want them cluttering up the counter.
If we open up this cabinet, we kept the first shelf the same.
It still holds all of our basic glasses.
Then I was able to use the entire second shelf for smoothie and shake supplies.
Our boys really like to use straws so we have a whole bin of those for them.
This is actually an organizer from InterDesign that is meant for hair accessories but it
worked perfectly to hold all of our straws in this cabinet as well.
I then used a small stacking bin to hold the cup rims and i I got more cup rims at any
time, I could always add another layer and stack it on top if I need to so they're really
versatile.I then used an InterDesign Clarity Kitchen Drawer organizer to corral the blades
just to keep them all in line here and then the cups and magic bullet accessories are
organized by type on the rest of the shelf.
The actual powders that I use for our shakes and smoothies are in this drawer down here.
I was able to find these pantry food storage bins with this hinged lid that are air-tight.
They are from InterDesign as well and then I just labeled the top with what kind of powder
is inside each one.
This makes it really easy to just pull out what we need and then put it right back and
keep it neat and tidy.
These are also stackable so if you'd want to use them in a pantry or in a cabinet where
you could stack them a few high, that would work as well.
We've been using this setup for a few weeks now and it has worked really well for us.
I love how well everything functions and how beautiful it looks every time I open one of
the cabinets or the drawers.
You can find links to all of the products that we used for our organization project
in the description below or you can search Amazon, Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath, & Beyond,
or The Container Store for other InterDesign products to help you to organize your kitchen
or anywhere else in your house.
