My name is Abby Jones and I'm talking about the process of moving into a new apartment
and how to set up, how to set up your new space in an efficient and easy way. Alright,
now I'm talking about setting up your kitchen and how, how to set up your kitchen so it
makes sense and is functional depending on how you use the things that you're organizing.
So the things that I'm talking about right now are novelty dishes and dishes that you
don't use that much. So for instance, this is my sushi set, and as much as I love sushi,
I don't use it that much. So I put this in the same cabinet that I have some of my everyday
dishes, my glasses, and my mugs, and my cups, but I have, so it makes sense because they're
still dishes. But I put them up higher and along with my saki mugs, I mean cups, and
some bowls that I don't use very much. So, and I put those on the middle level so that
they're you know, relatively easy to get to, I can probably get to them without a stepping
stool but I don't use them that much and so they don't need to be on a lower level. On
the upper level of the shelf however, I put dishes that I really only use when I have
people over and I'm serving large amounts of food, which are my bigger bowls and a dish
that I have for salsa and some other little painted dishes that I have for appetizers
that kind of thing. And I don't, you know I don't need to get to those hardly ever so
I put them on the top shelf where I really need a stepping stool to get them or a tall
friend. And then the dishes that I use even less than that, I put up on top of my cabinet
and those are dishes again that I use just for very specific situations, or in the case
of the pitcher which I think I've only used the once and I've almost given away several
times because I never use it. It's kind of just decorative, so I put it up top as well.
So that's something that you want to think about as you're placing your dishes, mostly
just how often you use them and how easily you can get to them.
