The Perfect Kitchen

The perfect kitchen is one that works for you!

Wether you are moving into an empty kitchen, remodeling your home, or just need a periodic reorganization, this is what you can do to customize functionality and aesthetics for your household's kitchen needs:

1. Identify who is doing the food preparation in your home and consult with all members (including any kids who cook) for the next step in this process

2. Take post-it notes and a marker, and while standing at your "action center" of the kitchen (usually the stove area or your most used counter space), begin to identify what tools or items you need closest to you and continue writing categories on notes and attaching to drawers and cabinets as you work your way out from the "action center"

3. Measure and research for any organizational items that will be helpful for those labeled spaces (drawer dividers, containers, risers, turntables, etc)

4. When procuring organizational items, this is the time to be mindful about any aesthetic or design goals you have for your overall home, as well as making sure the functionality of products will work for all family members

5. Once any products are obtained, place or reorganize existing kitchen items to match the post-it note decisions and your product infrastructure

6. Prepare a meal to test out the functionality and make any adjustments needed
