Shayla, you have knocked another video out of the park. Thank you for sharing how you keep your kitchen organized and beautiful at the same time❤

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you so much! And you are welcome, Judi!

[@rebeccaharp3254]

God has gifted you in these abilities which you have shared.

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you!

[@OliviaSchake]

We are (Lord willing) moving into our first home next month. These tips will be so helpful for making my kitchen functional for my family.

[@mountainmamashome]

Oh my goodness, congratulations! Talk about a wonderful Christmas present!

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

I store our toaster in a drawer but in the drawer have a small cookie sheet under it to collect the crumbs. Easy Peasy to pull out the tray dump the crumbs in the garbage (or feed the chickens) wipe it down and put it back. 😁 Good post. ❤

[@mountainmamashome]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@PinkieJoJo]

We have had our corelle dishes for about 15 years. They are seriously worth the initial money we spent on them. Sometimes I see pretty dishes but then I ask my self if they would last. They won’t.

[@MeganHurst]

I love your kitchen! I originally followed you from your boho kitchen tour I think. I love how bright it is but also warm and cozy ❤

[@DawnaLeigh]

Great tip! You are so right about canning jars! I have about 80 vintage (not the new version) blue ball jars. My teas, herbs and some spices are in the pints and the rest of everything else in the quarts and half gallons. When I run out of old ones I choose wide mouth jars. The ones that can longer can be used for canning work great. I use to due a LOT of canning, over 1,500 one year alone! So glad those days are over! 😄

[@mirab4371]

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, a dish-drying CART?!? LITERALLY ON WHEELS to push around while putting the dishes away?!?!?! Alert the media, we have the next Nobel Prize winner! 😮 * adds wheeled gloriousness to Amazon cart *

[@mountainmamashome]

Lol, I literally laughed out loud, thank you for this fun comment!

[@kimsnader8777]

As a retired, widowed empty-nester, I use many of these same kitchen organization tips. Certain wines are sold in those 1L carafes, which is a frugal way to collect them if you imbibe and like that particular wine. I've also collected a lot of canning jars (wide-mouth 1 qt and 1/2 gal wide-mouth for dry goods and 1pt or 1/2 pint jelly jars for spices) for attractive pantry storage. As a frequent mover during my life, I have a collection of magnetic storage helpers to work with whatever fridge surface is available in that particular kitchen layout. I also use a lot of those clear bins for fridge organization and to minimize clean-up/cross-contamination when thawing meat.

[@jml238]

Functional beauty! Always! I avoid retail anything like the plague and always thrift!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

This was the best! My mind just doesn't work like yours. These are the greatest tips! Your kitchen is beautiful and I can see now how accessible things are for you. Ty so much for sharing these tips. I save glass jars but didn't know how to use them. Ty Shayla.

[@mountainmamashome]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@LinenandWildflowers]

I need to have an organized & functional kitchen as well. We use mason jars, crocks & baskets for all of our organization needs & and have worked well for us. Great tips!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

The best thing I ever did was to buy Corelleware At the thrift shops ofc! We have several white background patterns. And for bowls, I buy anything white background. I make up porridge ahead of time and portion into bowls that we stash in fridge. Steel cut oats and grits. I prob have 20 bowls and only 2 kids here now lol I used Corelleware mugs for yrs for kids cups, small size and a handle. Can’t beat it! We keep our drink ware for a whole day so we all use diff ones. We just rinse out after a meal as we have milk/kefir for break & lunch. They’re used btwn meals too to get water for the day.

[@lindamcconnell1653]

One tip I learned recently is that some products come in jars that have lids that are self sealing. Such as Grand Maman jams or european products. They can be reused in hot water baths just like our canning jar lids. I've tried it and it does work:)

[@mountainmamashome]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing this!

[@forevermenot777]

Your light eye makeup is such a pretty look on you! Thanks for sharing your heart each video 💜

[@mountainmamashome]

Oh thank you!

[@saraphillips1038]

Love this channel! I thought I had all the organization Tips down pat but I learned so many new things from you

[@rockstarmommie13]

Your last video inspired me to do some rearranging in my kitchen/living space. Found a forgotten basket in the barn I can use for organizing!! You’re such an inspiration!!

[@mountainmamashome]

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@KatrinaM1234]

We used old popcorn tins for flour and sugar. Awesome seal on them, kept the tiny sugar ants out of the sugar.

[@mountainmamashome]

Great idea!!

[@rebeccaharp3254]

PS I love various cool different jars!!!

[@tinylittlehomestead8582]

Oh my goodness! Love the dish rack idea!!! Living in a tiny house there is no counter space for a dish rack

[@TheWillisHomestead]

I absolutely love your kitchen!

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you!

[@The_GreenBranch]

Love the tea shelf+

[@TheMoodyHouse]

Totally right about marketplace I search for free jars. Last haul I got 3 boxes of diffsize jars all glass with lids

[@cindyf181]

So many great tips given here. Love the multi use decor tip. Also love your island with so many hidden items and useful shelves, especially your plate storage!

[@mountainmamashome]

[@DustAndGraceASMR]

22:15 i was genuinely waiting for you to tell us how terrible the tea organiser was too 😂 a lovely video as always! ❤

[@mountainmamashome]

Haha! Too funny!

[@theresasergent9961]

Very helpful tips! I see the knife block linked in the description, but I must have missed your favorite in drawer knifw organizer. Could you please link that? I have limited counter space and would like suggestions for in draw knife organizing. Thanks!

[@julie4613]

God has blessed me today because he gifted me your channel I can't tell you what a ray of sunshine you are to my life. I am living on an extremely Tight budget There is no money To spend on pretty things And I recycle a lot of the items that I use in my home. I had a particular interest When you address reusing jars. I was wondering if you could let me know if you use the lids as well you didn't mention that. I am a single mom and 1 of my child is stricken with an autoimmune disease So I have to be careful what products Are brought into my home Buying mason jars really isn't in my budget, Although I have considered the dollar tree ones but I don't know if they're safe to use. I look forward to your response And I hope your days are filled with memorable moments

[@minnamae25]

Those airtight containers you can get on Temu for a fraction of the price that Amazon sells them for. I'm a thrift store lover too. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and house hold items part of the store.

[@WS-by5cl]

I decorate similar to you (using useful things that are also beautiful), but it drives my utilitarian husband NUTS lol

[@minnamae25]

Visit your local subshop or small mom and pop stores that also sells food. They always have 1 gallon jugs. My cousin sells them for $2.00 a piece at her store. ❤ I currently have a fridge that's about your size and I am constantly cussing it out. 😂😂😂 It's just too small and I also prefer the freezer on the bottom and fridge on top. I miss my old fridge in our last home. I don't need a fancy one with water and ice maker, but i do need a much bigger one with the freezer on the bottom. Getting down on my knees to get my 1 gallon jugs of milk is difficult and makes me ornery. 😂😂😂😂

[@TheMennomilist]

Great tips Shayla!!

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@KateEliseGutierrez]

Lovely video. Thank you.

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you too!

[@crystalsharp7370]

I’m a minute and a half into this video and I’m already blown away by the rolling cart tip as a drying rack. 🫨

[@fam.hildebrandt4257]

Hey Shayla, this was so lovley and inspiring ❤ love all aspects of your videos! Are you planning to whiten the other walls too? I think it woulds also look nice 😊 Greetings from Helena in Germany

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you! No, I plan on leaving them as I love them as is 😊

[@rebeccaharp3254]

Very Helpful...Thank you!

[@rebeccaharp3254]

You're very welcome.

[@roschelle4648]

I haven’t been able to locate the tea mixtures you mentioned. Is it here and I’m missing it? Thanks (:

[@heididaniels4971]

Love your videos! Thank you for the tips/ideas! May I make a suggestion for your videos? Sometimes it’s hard to see everything in the picture clearly… I think the whites are too white, and the blacks are too black. The white is the one that makes it the hardest to see. The sunlight from the windows make the windows white out, as well as your fridge is a similar effect. I’m not sure if I’m the only one seeing this, or maybe it’s just my device that I’m noticing this on? I thought I would mention it incase it isn’t just me. And I hope that all makes sense! I look forward to your next videos! Have a blessed week ❤

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you Heidi, I will address this and ask viewers. I appreciate your feedback! It is possible that it's your device, just for reference can you tell me what you are viewing on? Thank you again!

[@heididaniels4971]

@@mountainmamashome I’m mostly watching on a Samsung tv, but it’s also on my iPhone that I notice it. And to clarify, I like your esthetic, and the way your videos look and the tone of inside your house. I don’t know anything about video editing programs, but not sure if you can isolate just certain brightness tones? Anyways, definitely don’t take just one person’s (mine) opinion as fact - ask others! 😊

[@oldchickenlady]

Are you happy with your refrigerator? I have been looking at getting one but didn't know anyone that had one. Thank you for any feedback.

[@mountainmamashome]

So far I am! I have two of them.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Is it propane or just rly small for some other reason?

[@detectivejellysquish]

grocery outlet! we have those on the east coast

[@sandyheredia3027]

I have copper and gold in my kitchen.

[@minnamae25]

I am searching and researching stoves. I see you have the size I'm looking for. What kind is yours and do you love it. I do so much canning and baking, and small stove/ovens just aren't working for me.

[@mountainmamashome]

I have a zline and I do not recommend them, it has been a nightmare! There have been recalls and there have been months where I was not able to use the oven on two occasions.

[@minnamae25]

@mountainmamashome oh yes. I have read some pretty bad reviews on those. Thank you for the info.

[@BusyButerfly02]

use a magnet Bar for your large knives

[@mountainmamashome]

I would have, but I didn't have wall space for one, I have so many windows, lol!

[@rhonakurka1041]

I love your kitchen and your Life style. I am also a Lover of Jesus Christ ✝️ I live with my husband, our three teenagers and two dogs in a little house in the countryside of Austria❤️ originally I am from Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

[@mountainmamashome]

Thank you so much for commenting! It's always such a joy to hear from someone so far away, thank you for watching and saying hello!

[@The_GreenBranch]

Do you ever have concerns about the lead or other heavy metals in the glaze in pottery that you consume liquids from?

[@minnamae25]

This is why i buy all corelle ware. Plain white. Lead free mamma on fb made me aware of all the led that is still on these dishes. Usually if they have paint or any kind of color, ir still has led. Not sure if she is still in FB because i gave up SM 5 yrs ago. And corelle is locally made

[@mountainmamashome]

Hello Friend! I did, so I researched it. Most companies and potters have taken measures to use products that don't have lead these days. But I did learn that if you are not sure, pay attention to the glaze. If the glaze becomes dull it is wearing thin and the piece shouldn't be used for food any longer. As long as the shiny glaze is shiny and there are no chips it is supposed to be okay. Red and Blue are the ones you have to be most cautious about too.

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

Older (vintage) Fiesta ware is not safe but the newer Fiesta ware is.

[@xmydearambellina]

HANG ON A MINUTE!!! Where can I get those magnetic shelves!?

[@mountainmamashome]

Here is a link to them amzn.to/3YCO8XW

[@jupeter24]

Wait...tip #1? I'm sold already. And I already have one of those 😂😂 problem solved for my *tiny* apartment

[@mountainmamashome]

Hehe! The cart seems to be everyone's favorite today!

[@joyfulacres5484]

Shayla, I will WARN you about corelle. My sil sliced her hand on a shattered corelle plate. The corelle is a different substance than most glass dishes, and she ended up having to have surgery on her hand because it imbedded itself into her hand. That is the only reason that I will never use it!

[@mountainmamashome]

I've heard that they don't break easy, but when they do it's bad! Thank you for sharing!

[@traciewilliams4630]

A little polite note , when using wording on the screen pls use black lettering , I can not read the white or parts of it because you kitchen is white 😂❤❤
