Anne's Radical Idea

I wish I could reorganize my kitchen. However, I have one small, and I mean small, counter that has as much on it as I can put there. The coffee maker, which sees no action on most days, is there somewhere. It's for visitors since no one here drinks coffee. Or if they do, it might see action once every six months. I hope it doesn't take you that long to get used to where Shewhocreatesspace moved the coffee maker.

We moved here 4 years ago and I am still not happy with the coffee "station". So, I keep moving it.

I reorganize my kitchen when i already feel bored about how it looks. Sometimes my husband is at lost where to get things lol

I do not reorganize my kitchen or other rooms very often, but sometimes I move the appliances if it seems that they could be more accessible.

lol, i can see such's bein' some trouble. no sir, dont' do much rearrangin' 'round here. though i'd sure like to go'n tackle the hubs nightmare'f garages 'n barns. so what'cher sayin' 's that yer gonna need a cup'f coffee 'fore ya can find the coffee pot'n the morn?

We used to charge phones and cameras in a less than ideal place but we've changed that too. I've also moved a massive casserole that we rarely use to a bottom shelf rather than a more handy shelf. It now holds the kitchen baking trays which get a lot of use.

I usually rearrange everything once a year. Than for months we do not know where the stuff is.

It does seem we reorganize often. What is fun is to have visitors suggest how a space might work better with certain changes.

Not very often. I'd hate to get lost in my own house and not make it to work.

I pretty much put things in place when I move into a new abode, then let the things migrate to where it's most comfortable and useful all 'round. Sometimes a solution to awkward placement doesn't come until much later. And like you, I have to retrain myself to go to the new spot, such (re)training takes a very long time for me too.

No, I'm not much of a reorganizer, but my hubby is.

To be honest, IWhoOrganizes, gets it right every time.

One and done. I have almost nothing on my counters (just a few cute little practical things like salt and pepper shakers I bought in South Africa and a cute "Aunt Jemima cookie jar). The only appliance is the toaster which sits back against the wall unless needed. I like having negative space. It is calming and serene.

I organize my drawers pretty often because I tend to make a bit of a mess.

I move things around the kitchen counters all the time. After you have lived in a place for a bit you can get a better feel for things and something that you thought in the beginning would be perfect in a certain spot, you later find it's inconvenient or it makes a bigger mess, as is the case with your coffee pot. I try things out in different spaces to see what looks less cluttered and things that aren't used on a regular bases, for me, I don't like sitting on the counter just taking up space. That is except for my mixer, the kitchen aid mixer has been moved around on the kitchen counter several times, and while it isn't used all the time, it's to large and heavy to get it out of a cabinet, also the size and weight needs to be on a bottom shelf and it just won't fit. My husband gets board and moves furniture around every few months to give it a new look, I guess, the only thing I dislike about it is helping him to move things and having to set up the tv stuff for him. I hope it doesn't take 6 months to re-acclimate yourself to the new position of the coffee maker.

Only when I get tired of the old look.

I can't believe it's been that long since you moved to that house James. I remember following your moving saga when you wrote about it on Bubblews. Lol about taking so long to find the best place for the coffee maker!

Once in a blue moon I rearrange things.

I'm busy reorganizing my kitchen now and moved my silverware drawer and I'm constantly opening the old drawer to look for it. I can totally relate to you moving your coffee pot

Once we're happy with it, it stays where it is. it took us a couple of months to decide...But we've been here for about 12 years now and things are the same...
