[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Military spouse here, who moved repeatedly for about 10 years.  At one point we had a tiny kitchen and I had to get ruthless.  One common problem that I had was that my cabinets were storing things I didn’t really use.  So that meant the stuff I did use had no place to go other than the counter.

So I dug deep on the things I was hanging on to.   I didn’t ever use that asparagus pot, the rice cooker, the immersion blender.   It wasn’t easy to let them go (I had the best intentions of using them someday!), but it had to be done.

Same thing with my clothes.  I had old things in my drawers and no rooms for the clothes I actually wore.  I ruthlessly culled it at one point and now I have space.  It’s much easier to work with now.   [/quote]

Yeah, in a small kitchen you might have to get rid of things you actually use. “Do I use it” isn’t really a good test in that situation, it’s more “do I use it enough for it to make the cut for a slot in the limited space available.” You only get to keep as much as will fit (neatly, accessibly) in the cabinets.
