You can hang your tea towels on bull clips, over-the-cabinet bars, or tucked into the refrigerator door handle. But here's another super simple idea if you have a little bit of free wall space: apply a strip of double-sided tape to the back of wooden clothespins, stick 'em on the wall, and clip your towels in.

No one intends to waste food, but things happen — an overenthusiastic shopping spree at the farmers' market, an unexpected string of meals eaten out instead of at home, a container of mystery leftovers lurking in the back of the fridge.

A place for everything and everything in its place. More
I'm always so inspired by dream kitchens like this cottage kitchen in Maine or any one of these gorgeous, glamorous spaces. I appreciate the details, materials, the layout, all the finer things that make it special and swoon-worthy. But sometimes too much day dreaming can make me feel a little deflated when I walk into my thoroughly average and unspectacular rental kitchen. Has that ever happened to you? Most of us probably don't cook in our dream kitchen. Instead, we deal with our kitchens' quirks and inconveniences on a daily basis.
But your kitchen can still be a place that you love and cherish, a place you enjoy, not merely tolerate. These 10 small changes are easy upgrades, but they'll go a long way towards making you feel more organized and uplifted in your kitchen. More

Yet this little cupboard unexpectedly became the most joyful feature of my kitchen (and it has nothing to do with vanity!). More
When you open the doors under your kitchen sink, what do you see? I have an old plastic bin of cleaning supplies and a few other random things thrown in back. I am very inspired, though, to get this dark cave cleaned up and organized thanks to Jen at IHeart Organizing — take a look at what she did to her own under-sink area! More
Now this is an unusual way to store your pots and pans: a low-hanging pot rack built right into the kitchen island. What do you think? More
