Then I'd have to find a place to store the bigger containers, but it's worth the consideration if this new layout doesn't stay organized.

GW posts! I miss the KF but if I get on once I'll end up spending way more time there than I have. Maybe some day soon I'll be able to come back.<br /><br />My first thought was a 3-4 small labeled baskets to group like items -- flavorings, spices, baking needs like soda and powder. What about storing the large spice containers elsewhere and downloading smaller jars of each to keep in that cabinet?<br /><br />OTOH, if it works for you, why mess with it?jsweeNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17160568082715951366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-62667985927352041182010-12-09T11:00:36.849-08:002010-12-09T11:00:36.849-08:00That KA was from long before the 6-quart ones, and...That KA was from long before the 6-quart ones, and I wouldn't trade. It was my wedding gift from my MIL...in 1985. Now I have hers, too, which is even older, but probably has fewer miles! So both are wonderful Hobart KAs. I have a Bosch bread mixer, too.RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-13636387520075685392010-12-08T13:46:28.046-08:002010-12-08T13:46:28.046-08:00Rhome, I am looking at your baking center thinking...Rhome, I am looking at your baking center thinking...that is not a 6 qt. stand mixer!

I've avoided one of those so far, because the problems with a lot of the little things is that the bottled things tend to be tippy, and the other things are such odd sizes...but maybe it'd work for a certain selection and will simplify the rest. I will look at one in person and reconsider. Good idea about grouping things into some other kind of container. We have 8 birthdays from December to April, so at this time of year, they seem one after another!RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-1898925211694055422010-12-07T03:42:34.287-08:002010-12-07T03:42:34.287-08:00Have you considered one of those 3-tier cabinet or...Have you considered one of those 3-tier cabinet organizers? I thinik they're usually used for spices. I have one in my pantry for the smaller items like bouillon, small cans of pineapple, etc. It works great to allow those items to be 3-deep but still be visible. Here's one similar to what I have: http://www.amazon.com/Copco-2555-0188-Non-Skid-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B0036OQU56/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1291721774&sr=1-4. The one I have is from Walmart and was even less expensive. The Walmart one is wire but you could put Cushy Cupboards or similar on the little shelves to keep spills/messes contained.<br /><br />I keep birthday candles in a loaf pan on the shelf in my downstairs pantry. There are only 4 of us w/two birthdays at the beginning of the year (Feb & Mar) and 2 in August, so they're not used that often! However, you could still do the same.Buehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281609353993590179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-470775757034302442010-12-06T13:20:33.519-08:002010-12-06T13:20:33.519-08:00That counter is just standard depth...By the time ...That counter is just standard depth...By the time I thought of going deeper, we were too far into the design and construction. But that counter is at 33", so I can see well into the mixer bowl. I think that helps give me more space so that I don't have any problem with the uppers, which are at the standard 54" height. I also made them only the customary 12" depth so that they wouldn't be in my face.RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-90011024293884319112010-12-06T12:23:08.099-08:002010-12-06T12:23:08.099-08:00Did you get a deeper countertop for your baking ce...Did you get a deeper countertop for your baking center? I wish I did as I am always knocking the upper cabs when working with the stand mixer, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
