Meaning an intelligently organized counter is important!
Here are some before photos of my counter:
What doesn’t work for me:
1) biggest workspace is covered with stuff
2) too much stuff
3) Robin’s medical stuff too separate (3 more tubs elsewhere)
4) canned goods out
I haven’t finished my organizing (I’m looking for just the right thing for all of the medical supplies) but, with a little reshuffling of the toaster oven and coffee maker, I’ve opened a lot of counter space already. I can even create a beverage station! My Mother-in-law will like knowing where to look to make tea. This helps take the beverage packages out of the cupboard, too. A dual benefit!
