The Kitchen Move-In

Headache to Heart of the Home

I was called in to help this client with her unpacking. I LOVE working in kitchens and pantries and unpacking is one of my favorite things to do — it’s like opening present after present, not knowing what’s coming next. That can pose a problem though, because until you unpack EVERYTHING, you won’t be able to categorize like items, which makes it hard to know where things will fit. I love this type of challenge though, it’s like a big jigsaw puzzle. Her countertops, island, and dining table gave me good spaces to start with to lay things out. I also often keep the cabinet doors open to give me a good visual of the spaces we’ll use. By the end of the day things all fell into place and the client was ready to ditch the paper plates and start her routines in her new space.
