A Non-Pinterest-Ready Kitchen

It’s taken me a while to embrace my kitchen. I live in an apartment with a very small kitchen, and I’ve finally realized that my kitchen will never look like the cute and minimalist ones I see on Pinterest and that’s ok. I don’t have the cabinet space to hide everything, and everything that’s on my counters are things that we use all the time. Here are some of the things you’ll see out in my kitchen that you probably won’t see in those model kitchens:

1. My air fryer. We use this so often and have no other space to store it, so we always keep it out and accessible.

2. A fly catcher. No matter how clean we keep our apartment, there always seem to be those little flying bugs. This Zevo flying insect trap has totally eliminated that.

3. Dirty dishes. Of course, these aren’t left there for long, but sometimes you just need to leave some dishes in there until your dishwasher finishes running or until you finish dinner.

4. Food on the counter. We do not have the cabinet space for all of our food, so some of the big stuff has to live on the counter until we are ready to use it.

While I’ll always admire those pristine, bright, minimalist-looking kitchens, I’ve accepted that my current one physically cannot be that kitchen.
