After two weeks of shopping, hanging, organizing, and cleaning – the most important room in the house is FINALLY ready to be shared.
Welcome to our kitchen!
Let’s start the tour on the “cooking” side of the room. The minute I walked in to this kitchen I fell in love – hardwood floors, stainless appliances, cherry cabinets, beamed ceiling, and pretty green walls. And considering our prime location and the typical house size here, this kitchen is actually really BIG!
My goal for our kitchen (and really, every room of this house) was to eliminate clutter and only keep out what we use every single day. I wanted to minimize what would be kept on the counter tops, and make good use of cabinets and shelving in order to organize the rest.
The ONLY thing I wish I could swap is the electric stove. And actually, as far as electric stoves go, this one is really nice and clean. But the culinary student in me still longs for gas flames.
One of the few things I set out on the counters were my cooking utensils – spoons, whisks, knives, etc. I love having them out in my Ball jars, easy to grab when I’m working at the stove.
To the right of the stove, I have all my oils and vinegars in a tall cabinet, along with sweeteners and some liquid baking ingredients.
And in my ONLY under the counter cabinet, I was able to fit almost all of my pots and pans. I bought a really handy pot stacking organizer so that they don’t all have to sit inside each other.
In order to maximize our kitchen’s space effectively and efficiently, we bought this little rolling cart at The Container Store. A lot of times in kitchens, you see pots and pans and appliances out on display, but I tend to think those things are bulky looking. So instead of shoving all my nice serving pieces into cabinets to collect dust, I swapped them with the appliances and displayed all my pretty bowls and platters instead.
Hanging above the cart is one of my favorite food photos from our wedding (taken by the amazing Shannon). Our cakes were so pretty and delicious, and I love seeing them every time I walk into the room.
The weird thing about this kitchen
is that there is essentially ZERO under-counter storage – most of that space is occupied by the stove, sink, and dishwasher. So I went the unconventional route and loaded up what should have been the bottom half of my pantry with all of our appliances! It is SO easy to grab these and put them back after each use.
The smaller top half of our pantry is full of things like baking supplies, canned goods, protein powder, etc. We really don’t eat a lot of packaged food, so actual FOOD storage was not as big of a concern.
We do most of our eating out of our beautiful collection of dried goods in ball jars, which brings me to…
The kitchen shelving! MOST of what we eat, besides fresh fruit and vegetables come from these jars, so I wanted them as accessible as possible, and not all crammed in blocking each other in the cabinets. (I got all of my Ball jars at a local hardware store, but if you can’t find them in your area, they are very competitively priced on Amazon.)
In my opinion, if you have to have some things visible in the kitchen, it is so much more visually appealing to show beautiful grains and beans than clunky kitchen wears. I also brought in a few of my favorite cooking references in order to break up the display a bit.
The other set of shelving is used to display a few more favorite cookbooks, and our giant half-gallon grain jars.
There are six total – millet, quinoa, brown rice, steel cut oats, rolled oats, and wheat berries. You would be amazed at how often we refill these!
Underneath is our hanging spice display. At our previous house, our spices were an embarrassing MESS – baggies and mismatched bottles everywhere, making it so hard to ever find what you wanted. This new display not only makes things so easy to locate, I’ve found that I’m using spices a lot more now that there are right in front of me.
The jars and hanging racks came from IKEA, and I got some handy little labels from the Container Store that fit perfectly on the front of the jars.
The very last piece we had been desperately searching for was a small eat-in table to fit in this space by the window. We didn’t want to overwhelm the room, but also wanted to find something that went with the “look” of our kitchen. After two weeks of endless hunting at IKEA, Crate & Barrel, World Market, you name it – we found ourselves back at the Container Store. We ended up buying individual pieces – legs, shelves, wood top – and built this table ourselves. It started out too high, so Casey got out a terrifying grinder saw, and cut the legs down to perfect table height.
After two weeks of finding nothing that we liked, I am SO glad that we ended up with what we did. It matches the rolling cart perfectly and it looks like they were made as a set. I think it really ties the whole look together!
It even has a handy shelf underneath where I have been storing our extra fruit and vegetables.
And the legs are perfectly spaced to fit a dog bed underneath, in case you need company while cooking.
On top is the basil plant that my mom bought us (thanks, mom!) planted in an old steel cut oats tin.
I actually brought this oatmeal tin all the way from NC to VA, specifically because I knew I wanted to eventually plant something in it. Do you see what I see? :)
Wow – that was a long tour! Hope you enjoy our kitchen as much as I do.
Because like they say on MTV Cribs, this is where the magic happens. :)

I’m freaking out about how pretty your kitchen is! Love the green wallpaper and how spacious it is. Your jars of dried goods are my favorite.
Can’t wait to see what you make in here!

the kitchen is gorgeous!! what a great space, and I love what you guys have done with it :) Thanks for sharing!

It is absolutely gorgeous! Do the spices/herbs have labels? or do you just know what each of them is?

They have small clear labels with black writing for each spice. Although there are a few unlabeled, because the pre-made labels didn’t include every spice I have. But I know what most of them are by sight.
[Reply]
Wow your table and cart do look like a set!! Good job!! :)

Love your kitchen! Very simple, clean and functional! Makes me want to reorganize mine.

Beautiful! My tiny NYC kitchen is so jealous:)

Can’t wait to do my tour!!! I might do a video though :) It looks great. I absolutely LOVE the shelving. Our kitchen is definitely a bit smaller. I need a few more cupboards! The spices are awesome. I love that they’re so easy to see and grab. I changed mine over to ball jars and love it but I don’t have room to keep them all on display, so I have to dig around on one shelf. Boo. Looks great though!!!!!

I can’t wait for you to do your tour EITHER! Dying to see it from the few glimpses you’ve shared. Believe it or not, that’s not ALL the spices. There is one tragic tub of leftovers crammed into a cabinet, hehe.
[Reply]
You and Casey did a fabulous job! Casey did a wonderful job at making sure the shelves are level ;) The open shelves give the feel that the space is more open. I am impressed how you have decorated and organized your home in such a short amount of time. I noticed that you have two garbage cans, one for regular garbage the other for recycling? After seeing your posts, I may need to take a trip to IKEA :)

Emily @ The Front Burner Blog Reply:

Haha thanks for noticing – Casey will be thrilled. He spent a lot of time and energy making sure that both sets of shelves were perfectly aligned and at the same height! And yes on garbage – one for trash, one for recycling!
[Reply]
It looks really great, girl!
[Reply]
Looks great! I love those spice jars. I must admit my oft used spice collection is a horrible disorganized mess and the picture of yours has inspired me! I’ll probably be hitting Ikea this weekend! Thank you for the push!

AHH! I love your plant growing from your oatmeal can! Such a nice touch and reflective of your cooking love!

I absolutely adore the grain jars! We went out a month or so ago and got bell jars to store some grains – we only have about 6 now, but it’s a start. It all looks beautiful!!

Come organize my kitchen! It looks great. I mean yours, not mine. Although I do have those same C&B dish towels.

Your kitchen looks great, it’s very inviting and bright! Looks like the pooch likes it too :)
[Reply]
Emily,
Love,love your kitchen. You have so many talents girl.
I have to do something with my spices I have them in a can in the bottles they come in im my closet. Don’t think my hubby would let me hang them up but maybe if they looked like yours. I too decluttered some of my kitchen and packed up dishes that were my Grandma’s and packed them for my son when they get a house.
I might do the mason jar idea for my oats, etc such a good idea.
Enjoy!

I love your kitchen Emily! It looks awesome and so inviting! :)
Sometimes it pays off to keep searching for items you truly love instead of settling with “okay” items.
When my fiance & myself moved out, we made a rule that we wouldn’t buy anything we didn’t love for our house. At times it was crazy-frustrating when we wouldn’t both agree on things, but now I have a beautiful home that I truly adore… I love everything from our bedding to our napkin holder.
Have a great day :)

Exaaaaactly. Having the empty spot and no table in the kitchen for two weeks drove me crazy, but I was hell bent that we would not just settle for something to fill the space. We feel the same way – only buying things we love, and because of it I am totally in love with our whole house! :)

Your kitchen is just GORGEOUS Emily!! you guys have done such an amazing job and have given me a lot of inspiration for my own. :)

Fun post! I’ve been gradually transitioning to storing bulk goods in glass jars, and I love the look. I just had my first “no new plastic bags” bulk shopping trip at Whole Foods.
What do you do with the awkward bit of grain, beans, etc. that is left at the bottom of the jar when you’re ready to refill? Do you take the jars to the store, or bring the bulk goods home in plastic bags?
[Reply]
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog Reply:
September 21st, 2010 at 1:21 pm
I can’t bring myself to lug the jars to the store, so I just use the thin plastic bags provided in the bulk aisle. Not the *most* green solution, but at least I bring my own shopping bags.
[Reply]
Love the kitchen, Emily!
One question – where did you get that amazing piece that stacks your pots & pans??? I NEEEEEED that in my life.

Your kitchen looks so homey!
[Reply]
It looks beautiful! I love that your spices are on display instead of piled in a cabinet, like mine. I may have to take a trip to IKEA soon.
[Reply]
Looks wonderful! Seems like it will be very user friendly for you. I will be stealing your jar idea for grains- it’s a great one:)
PS: I spied some TJ Smooth & Mellow Coffee…my fave!!! Sadly there is no TJ in Louisville so I rely on my friends in TJ friendly cities.
Thanks for the fab tour!!!

I LOVE your kitchen! It makes me miss living in DC/NoVA, although my house wasn’t nearly as cute as yours. I especially love your spice rack … right now I have all my spices and herbs in whatever grocery store container they came in, squeezed onto a two-layer lazy Susan. I SO want to make an Ikea trip and find something like what you have – if I can figure out the wall space for it :-)

Your kitchen is really nice…and it looks quite big. I love the spice rack. I dont use that much spices in my food are they are lost in a cupboard and I dont think about using them. This rack is what I need ;)

It is so clean and organized! I love the use of all the ball jars, it seems to reduce clutter because they are see through! I LOVE it and will use some of these ideas if we ever re-do our 1973 kitchen!

Aww, your kitchen is such a dream, I had to show my boyfriend your pics. I just love the easy access to your grains and spices in the jars! I want to do that!
One thing we do have the same is the tupperware containers on the top shelf and I find that so annoying because every time I go to reach for them, they fall on my head. Time to revamp my kitchen, although it is an 1/8 the size of yours:)

I was wondering if you could tell me what size mason jars you used to store your cooking utensils. It might be the angle, but they look taller and thinner than the wide-mouth pint jars.
