Organizing my new kitchen!

[@ginagoble4330]

I keep my cookie sheets, cooling racks and oblong metal pans in the drawer of my stove. All metal things. It works well.

[@tinaclover1586]

I use wood cutting boards as hot plates instead of putting something hot on my counter tops

[@brendamartin3557]

I like pullouts for pots and pans.

[@rachelma]

Plastic cutting boards actually leach plastic into your foods. You don’t need to bleach your dishes or cutting boards to sanitize them. Just wash them right after use.

[@kimberlyficek8341]

That was a very cute video I really like your guys kitchen and how you but your things in the cabinets the ideas you have for the stuff is great the boys are getting so big and cute I really liked the video thank you for the video and your guys time I hope you and your family has a great rest of your day and week thanks again ❤

[@pattymorton8880]

When our kids were little, they had their own cupboard, with plastics and pan lids, kept them entertained while I was cooking and out of my way and knew where they were. Enjoy your NEW kitchen that you have waited forever for!!! Yes Dog Food is Horrible and the truth!!!

[@unclerocky2843]

Before you fill up the base cabinets look into installing slide out shelving. The cabinets by the stove would be the best place to start👍

[@Set-Apart-By-Grace]

They are a must! Once you have used them, you can't do without them. ☺

[@rachellopez3259]

I've been making my dog home made dog food for a year now. She's doing so much better especially since she's 14 years old. Good on you guys!

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Marci you accidentally sneak peaked the shelves! They look beautiful, love the color.

[@ameeburrage337]

I saw too! 😂🤣

[@AZJH8374]

Stack the pans. Cutting board's vertical. Everyone has a junk ❤❤drawer

[@bettieshort]

Now you can see the light at the end of the tunnel getting everything in its place will be fantastic.

[@kimwentworth5118]

up for pans and side for lids ( just how I do it ) Kitchen is beautiful and I agree with the white and decorating. You also can change your decor when you get bored and not hve to worry about matching anything. 🥰

[@kar702]

When those babies were little, I thought they were identical twins I can’t believe that. I can’t believe I thought that because looking at them now they look like two completely separate little people.❤

[@crystalnobody4689]

Depending how big your cabinet is and the cutting boards I would get some magazine caddies that you stand your magazines up in and use it for storing the cutting boards. Then you can slide it out when you want a board, I would do the same with cookie sheets.

[@runninggreywolf8313]

You can use all the same sized pulls, by putting two regular pulls on the longest draws. I like that you chose black pulls.

[@CynthiaSchultz-i8r]

Cookie sheets cutting boards metal racks muffin and cake pans on their side against the wall. Easy access for finding and putting away. Love the spice storage. God’s blessings

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

Baking sheets and cutting boards store sideways. Pots and pans stack. Just my opinion.

[@lindamaskus5142]

I agree. I have my cookie sheets and cutting boards standing on their sides. Takes way less space and not as likely to get dusty (or whatever) IMHO

[@ruthrand7377]

I agree we have cooking sheets and cooling racks on their side. We also use the stack racks for the skillets and pans. The rack fits in front of the shelf ( we have the same shelf you have that's way in the back). In other cabinet I put a pull out shelf on the very bottom so I can see what's in the back under the uppershelf

[@JoanWilliamson-d1i]

I love your kitchen and looking forward to seeing the completed project. I have an all white kitchen also and love it.

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

We feed our Blue Heeler Victor Hi-Pro plus. Made in Texas bagged in McAlester Oklahoma. She has been on it for her whole life and is super healthy. The vet is very pleased with her weight and health. Most importantly she doesn't stink and her hai isn't nasty feeling even when she is way over due a bath. Feed our chickens Big V Mills feeds also out of McAlester. My family lives there so even though I am in the Houston area I can still help Oklahoma economy.

[@PamRoberts-e4r]

Try thinking about pull out shelves. Saves you back and with two pull outs more storage Looking good

[@marymcmillian7354]

Marci you should have both kinds of cutting boards. Bamboo for fresh vegetables and the ones you already have are fine for meats. Store standing uprights so they can air out.

[@pamelahouser3487]

Have you heard of Dr. Pol’s Dog Food regime? I live in the town where Dr. Pol is located, and I fed my dog his food, too. My yellow lab had issues (anxiety) and as my service dog, and Dr. Pol(our vet) advised to feed her his brand. It works! Good luck with the feeding of Goose. I also was making mine her own dog food occasionally. It calmed her down. Love the kitchen and watching the boys. The kitchen is beautiful! Good job, Crandall!🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@helmuthschultes9243]

We have always cooked and prepared food for our dogs, with only maybe one meal a week from well recommended tinned dog food, and only travelling on holiday trips some dry food as well as the tinned food. The meals cooked meat including ox tongue, ox heart, beef/lamb/chicken liver, chicken (never cooked bones) and lamb, mixed with various vegetable, some cooked or raw grated occasional small sliced, and then blended with rice puffs, potatoes, cooked rice, occasional, not daily, raw egg. That included large dogs like German Shepard, or mixed breed Labrador, Collie, Shepard as well show dogs, including Terrier, Lhasa Apso and Chihuahuas . Over 60 years something over 6 larger dogs and over 30 show dogs with a number of litters of pups. All had good healthy lives, good coat, most lived to well over 10 years. Cats have had selected brand dry and wet foods.

[@pamfuller3740]

For my pans I have a deep drawer that I put them in and just pull it out to get the pant that I need. I LOVE IT, Will never go back to shelves for them ever again.

[@karenjacquin280]

Marci I bought a rack on Amazon that holds my cutting boards, cookie sheets, and cooling racks standing up. Saves so much space. My pan cupboard has a 2 shelf metal rack that mounts in my cupboard to hold my pans and lids. The drawers pull out for easy reach of the pans and are deep enough for stacking all of them. Great idea mounting your collapsibles on the door. I tried the bag and wrap organizers and hated it. The one you showed might be more to my liking. I know Becky on Acre Homestead has that one and she loves it. I was lucky enough to find a gentleman who makes different size cutting boards from old formica counter tops. Perfect for cutting anything including meat. Easy to clean and disinfect. I also bought metal magnetic racks that hang on the side of my fridge to hold oils and spices i use frequently like with every meal. So excited to see the shelving, hood, and backsplash. You have excellent taste decorating. The kitchen is fabulous so far, i would love to have that big island!

[@kathysmith266]

I store my cookie sheets, cutting boards on their side. It takes up less space. I install metal sliders. This way, I don't have to go digging. Your kitchen looks great, I completely love the counters! I've been in my home for almost 5 years and have reorganize a few times. 😊

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

I buy cheap file holders at thrift stores. I store my cookie sheets; cutting boards; skillets; and pot lids in them. Frees up space. Your kitchen Marcie. Your choice!

[@nancylpowers4778]

Marci, My pots and pans, in the cabinet, have a pull out shelf on the bottom. The top shelf also pulls out for my lids. I didn't think it would work. I was surprised it did. This is also located next to my stove on right side. Every thing is coming together well. White is ok. I got tired of colors. I painted my walls white. Now I can mix any colors I want. The back splash you choice is beautiful, .It will give a warm cozy and welcome feeling to the home. 😃

[@pattiegeisert8623]

Looks beautiful, Great job Crandall.❤❤🤍💖

[@angelalynch9286]

It's looking absolutely gorgeous, I'm do pleased it's all starting to come together x

[@cherylsmith900]

Everything looks so nice. Caught a glimpse of Crandals project…gonna be nice!

[@kathycrook1913]

Everything is beautiful I love the countertops!

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Love your kitchen Marci. The twins are changing so much, they look so different from when they were born, they are adorable and I love how Maverick interacts with them.

[@bethaniefrank7775]

We did white on white on white and we love it. We have a little more warmth in our countertop and we did large white picket tiles on the vertical with light grey grout. We have black accents, too. No regrets

[@madeleinetunstall5690]

You have already shown us a sneak peak of the floating shelves twice now😂. What I saw looks great

[@lynnmallen9699]

Putting spices in a drawer, is so great for organizing and not taking up as much space. Pots and pans I stack pans on top of each other ..flip their lid on each pot or pan and stack next size down on top. I have a lazy Susan cabinet for my pots and pans and small appliances.

[@stephenhenson2819]

Hi Marci, I'm happy for you getting your kitchen done. Crandall really knows his stuff. ❤️

[@marlaadams2971]

I use a 3 compartment dish drainer for dishes to put my cutting boards and cooking sheets . I got mine from the dollar tree. I use one that is coated with a rubber seal.

[@robinjohnston7986]

Silicone cutting mats works really well and easy to clean. I like sideways pans, you see easier. Love you kitchen. By the way there is a fun holiday every month you can add color with. Love you all. You could have one on the bottom for kids plates, so they learn to help set table and after they are clean, they can help put away.

[@runninggreywolf8313]

I store cutting boards vertically since we have several different kinds and sizes.

[@chipper841]

Marci, use a pot lid holder to put your cutting boards in. Keeps them neatly stacked, easily taken out to use👍👍 At a later date, Crandall can add pull out shelves in you lower cupboards.

[@bridgetdale398]

I like the side holder for skillets

[@lynnmallen9699]

I lean mine up against the backslash, I use bamboo,and have different sizes so it looks decorative as I layer them. Large in back, then medium and small over the large. But I put the smaller ones standing up on end in front. Makes it super convenient for me, and I have limited cabinets.

[@karengenereux6307]

I love the black door handles..I was hoping you would choose black.. Oh and the cookie sheet holder is for cutting boards..

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

That is so exciting to finally be able to put things away in the new kitchen! And the countertops are so lovely! They really turned out well!💖💖💖

[@WeeJasperVetClinic]

With kitchens, if it hasn’t been used in 12 months. Toss it. It’s easy to fill cabinets with rubbish whereby things get pushed to the back, never to be used again. Unwanted gifts as most can relate to. It’s gotta be a working, very safe environment. Something people tend to forget. Safety first & never forgotten. Never store anything on top of wall cabinets, they are not designed to have excessive weights on or in them, plus makes it unsafe to always reach up & grab. A fire alarm x 2 in every kitchen, fire blanket & extinguisher not near to the area that is possible to go up in flames. It makes it hard to get to, if this occurs. Matches/lighters and candles always in a steel closable/ child proof box. (Be aware of the things you are charging within that draw) a lot of none compliance cords/chargers can ignite/overheat if not vented or left to long. ie: cheap Chinese iPhone chargers & batteries. He/She who fails to plan, is planning to fail. (W. Churchill). Also what I see in upper cabinets in peoples house is medications… this does my head in.. All if not most have a store below 30 or 20 D/Celsius. Low is cool & cool is a lockable cabinet in parents room.

[@colleenemmons9234]

Marci, enjoy your organization in the silverware drawer because once the boys grow up forget organization. I have 4 kids and when they were small all was great but once they grew up and can do for themselves the silverware drawer and closets where always a mess because no one put anything away like I did. My husband was worse than the kids. ENJOY it while it last.....

[@joybartlett9784]

Your canisters and decor will stand out against the white walls and counters. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ It. Lowe's, Walmart and other stores have standing racks for flat cookware and cutting boards.

[@janetgray8737]

Marci, I am so glad that the dresser is over by your front door. It did not look right across from the kitchen. Your kitchen is coming alive. Lol. If Crandall ever gets it done, it will look beautiful. I love the color of your shelves. I got a glimpse of them as you were talking and walking.

[@Hezzie850]

You can buy stick on vinyl square floor tiles (cheap one) and stick on the bottom of the cabinet under the sink. It helps protect from water damage that can happen from the sink.

[@wandaknighten7166]

Hi Crandall , Marci and boys I am so excited to see y'all got a new video up 😊 I am so happy for y'all to get your kitchen remodeling done complete with cabinets and counter tops . Y'all's house is Gorgeous beautiful I love it . Sending lots and lots of hugs , love , blessings and countless prayers for y'all ❤🙏🏻

[@suzannepiontek8150]

I think it’s great that you chose the black “pulls/handles”. The counters turned out so beautiful. You would really appreciate pull out trays for your pots & pans cabinet. Pull out trays are the best for lower cabinets. You are doing a great job organizing with what you already have!! Good decision for the location of the meds. above the fridge.

[@jrae6608]

Sideways for cookie sheets, pans stack

[@karencone4973]

I keep cutting board, cookie sheets, platter sideways in a lid organizer. I got them at Walmart.

[@debbyalden55]

Kitchen is looking great, the boys look awesome. Glad the projects are getting finished. Lots less to worry about

[@LoriL010]

The kitchen looks so good. I just love those counter tops too. Have Crandall install some of those pull out drawers in the cabinets for your pots and pans. They are a back saver.

[@sharoncochran8508]

Your kitchen is fantastic! I like using a neutral color for the permanent fixtures and add in color with "decorations". I'm so happy for you!

[@kathycrook1913]

Store cutting boards in a small cabinet close to the stove or sink so their handy to pull out n cut wet veggies or meats.

[@debmyatt108]

Wood is self cleaning. I stand them on edge to save space. Use a lid rack on it's side. Kudos to watching Goose's health.

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Stacking allows more convenient storage of more items, but also leads to considerable rummaging and effort to extract specific item for use out of the stack of items. It is rarely the top item wanted, meaning digging the wanted out from mid or even bottom of the stack. Also inevitable are items that are just shape wise not ideally stackable with shapes or size of other items, lids for example due to handles. Leading to unstable stacks, sideways toppling stacks. The vertical side by side, kind of works best if a dedicated set of specific items are compartmentalised, invariable slots/compartments preallocated, a place for each item. Unlikely ideal in long term as different items are added, or broken/worn out items replaced. Otherwise sooner or later some slot space will just be wrong size, needing larger diameter so vertical or higher side walls, so width, for some things, and those will endup in another place probably stacked. For pots, pans, skillets, hotplate, cake , sandwich, pie and pancake items, possibly a mix of stack and dedicated vertical side by side storage needs to be planned. I tend to vertical side by side store cutting boards, specific flat items like waffle, pie, sandwich, pancake iron/dishes, lids or similar slim items. Yet pots, especially where several sizes nest into each other and frypans/skillet, cake tins both round, square or rectangular, all get stacked.

[@joanwallace28]

Your home, You style. Enjoy

[@kathycrook1913]

You can get hanging spice racks for the pantry door...inside of course.

[@sherryswafford4561]

Get Crandall to build you a rack for your cutting boards that will fit in that cabinet. The kitchen is looking amazing yall have done a great job on it. God bless yall.

[@genevievebakkensen86]

Definitely install metal sliders you can get them in single as well as two shelf or shelf and a half worth every penny! Cutting boards and cookies sheets on side less space as mentioned and keeps you from having to dig

[@patriciaisabella3975]

You need to install the sliding wire racks in you carets so easy to pulll out and reach everything

[@galeburkman1586]

You stack your silverware just like I do.

[@carlavision6143]

Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful and soooo bright! Love it and love y'all too!❤️

[@barbaradaugherty9626]

I store my cutting boards on the side. Pots and pans are stacked. But it really is up to your personal preference. There isn’t any one way. 😊

[@tammytsuchiyama8858]

I use a horizon plate rack for cutting boards and baking sheets. Beautiful countertops. ❤

[@leonandvirginiaclark9506]

Stack Cutting Boards on edge at once side of your cabinet, along with folding wire cooling racks.

[@janicefultz9332]

Spices by the stove, dishes above the dishwasher, silverware by dishwasher, a drawer go dishrags and towels by the sink

[@pamelariley8983]

Crandall and Marci... we took our dog completely off of commercial dog food. She stopped vomiting, stopped coughing and inward sneezing... and no more runny poops.. I make her food now and freeze it in ziplock bags and label it.. My recipe is 10 chicken thighs or breast (boneless ) one bag broccoli, one bag green peas and two cans sliced carrots. one can chicken broth... I cook it all together in a roaster pan . when done I grind the food up in my food processor and bag it up.. she gets one cup a day.... ( she is a chihuahua) .. She also gets one scrambled egg in the mornings ... Our vet says she is the healthiest Chihuahua he has ever seen !!

[@kymberleyhartfiel7774]

I am loving the house renovations ❤️🇦🇺

[@lei5809]

Great video Marci! I'm so excited for you and your family. A new kitchen is one of my dreams. I would love to reorganize my kitchen to make more sense to me instead of how someone "thinks it should be". Who keeps ziploc bags stored in multiple places throughout the kitchen? Someone in my house does, not me though. I use wood for veggies and plastic for meats, chicken, or anything else I need to disinfect. I also use a rack for my cutting boards to store them vertically in one of my cabinets.

[@debracalapan3867]

The boys are getting so big!😊❤

[@larkhigginbotham5374]

I use both Wooden and plastic cutting boards. I like to have mine standing in the cabinet for storage.

[@kathyinwv250]

Also get a rack for baking sheets and use one of the sections for your cutting boards.

[@DianaSoares66]

I love the wood shelves. You left them the light wood color. Yes you showed some 😂 I am imagining 2 shelves over each cabinet and the stove hood in the middle. ❤😊

[@juliasilvrants9556]

I find myself reorganizing a couple times a year. Helps get rid of extras and items I don’t use and find items in the back of the drawer. Good luck and put items frequently used for cooking close to stove

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I have a wood meat cutting board it has a drip edge like to cut cook meat on. I have glass & stone boards plus plastic. I lay my baking sheets on sides. Stack pots and pans. Set wood cutting boards up against back of counters.

[@judydrouhard2651]

Countertops are absolutely beautiful!! !!

[@mprmom2]

Marci I am so happy you love the measuring cups! It is nice to know they are useful…especially since they are marked so Crandall cannot blame you for measuring something wrong 😅😂🤣 I am looking forward to seeing the new kitchen. As for the dog food, we have to buy a special sensitive stomach and skin dog food for our two dogs. They were puking every time they ate. We also found any of the treats that have red food coloring (why dog treats need coloring is beyond me) make them puke also. The boys are adorable and you all are such great parents!

[@bettydonahue3961]

Hello Marci an Crandall your kitchen is looking so great 😃 I know that y'all are so excited 😆 about it. Please 🙏😅 keep them coming 😁

[@marshabooth7300]

They make racks that stand up cutting boards, they show them for pans & lids as well. I saw someone use letter/folder holder for cutting boards, it depends how heavy they are.

[@patrustemeyer9401]

I store my plastic ones in a drawer and a pretty wood one standing on the counter against the backsplash.

[@suzeewills1249]

I make dog food. 3lbs cooked meat…( maybe more), add… 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa, add… 6 cups vegetables, frozen peas and carrots, chopped broccoli, zucchini, etc. NO CORN, add… 1 lg can PLAIN pumpkin….MIX * My dog is 45lb AmStaff, she gets about 4ish cups a day. As a treat, hand full leftover meat if there is any every couple days. Raw carrots, and other vegs for treats too. Good for teeth. * I measure 2 cups into baggies, get air out, flatten, then stack in freezer. Thaw 2 a day for my dog. Makes 6-7 days worth.

[@michelemorgan6663]

Using coconut oil not only sanitizes but protects your wooden cutting boards wooden knife handles etc.

[@annjustus]

Just because a lot of people don't like white on white, that's Ok. However, it's not their kitchen. I'm not a white on white fan, but if you love it, I love it for you. I love the counter tops, which turned out great, and the back splash is so pretty. I'm excited for you to get it done.

[@bettyrush3651]

So happy for you ❤ that must be heaven to have so many cabinets 💕🙏

[@mslexus5707]

[@debblucher2513]

Love the countertops! I always wanted a kitchen island.

[@wallykoala569]

Crandall should build a pull-out for the pots & pans.

[@christileneabrahams6416]

Cutting boards best stored in the length on their side. Wooden boards can easily be cleaned by rubbing with half a lemon but plastic must be sterilized

[@charlenegrady8781]

[@nitapachulski9758]

Yes Marcie that's a word worne plum out we say that here in Florida, it's looking good can't wait to see it all done, that's a good idea to move all meds up high.

[@brookieant]

You showed the floating shelves ( light brown 🤫 )

[@1Life2Live007]

Absolutely LOVE the way it’s looking. Makes me wanna get mine going! Lol The cutting boards. Have Crandall make something inside there to put them sideways. And get you a cutting board for each type of food. Like meat, veggies, breads, so on…. I would like to keep my pans sideways and maybe pots stacked? Idk. I keep the lids sideways. In the baking cabinet have Crandall build a wall so you can store your baking sheets sideways also. I saw a quick peek of the shelfs. LOVE IT Wow I had no idea dog food had lots of sugar. I bet you sugar is one of those things that cause cancer. Salt and sugar. Aww he does look just like Mav.

[@cheriecronin7688]

I'm glad you puppy is doing better and yes some dog foods are even poisonous for them my sister and sister in law had problems with bad dog food also watch out for the snacks. Not all are bad but I'm so glad ya'll are looking into this problem. The babies are getting so big. And your little man is growing up way to fast love watching the kids.
