I bet everyone has noticed that cleared spaces attract clutter! My husband is the worst culprit. It seems that as soon as I clear a space he finds something that 'needs' to be set down there. I struggle on .... daily! I struggle daily with trying to keep my countertops cleared. I bet everyone has noticed that cleared spaces attract clutter!

My husband is the worst culprit. It seems that as soon as I clear a space he finds something that ‘needs’ to be set down there.

I struggle on …. daily!

Although I'm not as bad as mom. She can't stand to have anything out of place on her counter, to the point where if I'm drinking something and set my cup down and forget to say "I'm drinking that" she'll dump the contents, wash the cup and wipe off the spot on the counter where the cup was sitting. This whole process is lightning fast, and a little frustrating! Fortunately I'm a little less compulsive than she is.

So many women like to use their counters as a decorating space,and they look so cute while mine look so, well, BARE, so I hadn't thought of mine as "refreshing", except to myself.I hope people feel loved and welcomed each time they enter our home, especially the kitchen!

The number one reason I ever have the desire to eat out? Not wanting to cook on a clutter counter! I do keep my Kitchen Aid Mixer on the counter simply because it is way to heavy to move all the time and I used it at least 5 out of 7 days of the week. Oh, that is so true!

When I walk in and the countertops are cluttered then I already feel defeated. It feels so good to walk into my kitchen when it is all clean to start cooking.

It makes it so much easier to wipe them clean, for one thing. I would like to have even less on mine (I leave out the toaster oven and coffee maker for my husband's daily use) and crock full of utensils. When I go to my in-laws house I am overwhelmed by the cluttered kitchen counters. They have every appliance out ALL THE TIME! The vegetable steamer, crock pot, blender, stand mixer, food processor, two kinds of toasters, electric kettle, and more! I totally agree with you about the clutter-free counters.

It just makes me happy! Does your Funky Kitchen book talk about organizing small kitchens? I really want to have an organized kitchen...and it is better than it was....just could use a little more help :) Especially now I have a grain mill and a bosch mixer - they are huge! Stacy P.S. I always enjoy visiting your blog. It is such a happy and helpful place. I also love to have a clean counter top. It just makes me happy!
