A Tiny Oasis of Tidiness in Average Jane’s Kitchen

Written by

This is why my cleaning lady is worth every penny. She was here on Tuesday and I didn’t notice this until today:

It’s a lovely little tableau of organization, drawn together from different messy countertops and united in one compact spot. (In case you’re wondering, the wooden apple is a recipe card holder.)

I don’t know if she noticed my desperate strivings toward the Kitchn Cure or just saw the opportunity and went for it. Either way, it inspires me to keep going until I’ve wrestled the entire kitchen under control. That is, after I finally do my taxes…

Okay so I have to ask, do you actually use the mortar?
I debate whether or not I need one.
Also, love the backsplash!

I agree – the tile backsplash is beautiful! We’ve been thinking about doing that in our kitchen.

I love my cleaning lady, but she doesn’t do cool stuff like that.

I am having anxiety dreams about not having all of our taxes tidied up. Gah!

OMG, I have that exact same mortar & pestal. I’ve never seen another one like it until now — how cool!
I also love the backspash — mine is just plain sand colored tiles, and it’s boring. Yours has real personality, it must make the room really bright and cheerful!
