EGST - organizing your kitchen and bathroom

Clever ideas for organizing your kitchen and bathroom

This post is contributed by Aleka from FishesMakeWishes
Each year, when September comes, it brings a feeling for change and renewal in our lives. So here are a few ideas for our homes, images we can use as inspiration to make these spaces more beautiful and organized.
Κάθε χρόνο όταν ερχεται ο Σεπτέμβρης μας φέρνει και μια διάθεση για αλλαγή και αναδιοργάνωση στη ζωή μας. Ετσι λοιπόν σας προτείνω μερικές ιδέες για τους χώρους του σπιτιού μας, εικόνες που μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε σαν εμπνευση και να ξεσηκώσουμε ιδέες για να ομορφήνουμε και να βελτιώσουμε τη λειτουργικότητα των χώρων αυτών. 


A few ideas for the kitchen include metal baskets nailed to the wall to put fruit in, we can find these in shops with home products in many designs {image 1}. Painting the inside of a cupboard door with magnetic paint (you can find it here) and then using the Ikea metal tins to store our spices,  it is a very good way of organizing our spices and also saving up space {image 2}. We can also use a corner in our kitchen where we'll store our spices in glass vessels, placing then orderly so that we'll have a clean and neat space {image 3}. Another great idea to organize all the things in kitchen drawers is to use plastic containers, they will keep everything in its place and make the drawer more tidy {image 4}.
Για την κουζίνα οι προτάσεις πολλές, για να οργανώσουμε τα συρτάρια και ντουλάπια μας αλλά και για να ομορφύνουμε το χώρο.
Μεταλλικά καλαθάκια βιδωμένα στον τοίχο είναι μια ωραία και βολική λύση για να βάζουμε τα φρούτα μας, μπορούμε να τα βρούμε σε μαγαζιά με είδη σπιτιού σε διάφορα σχέδια {εικ.1}. Μια πολύ καλή λύση για τα μπαχαρικά μας είναι να βάψουμε το εσωτερικό ενός ντουλαπιου με μαγνητική βαφή (μπορείτε να την βρείτε εδώ και εδώ) και στη συνέχεια να χρησιμοποιήσουμε μεταλλικά κουτάκια που βρισκουμε στο Ikea {εικ.2}. Ένας ακόμα τρόπος να φυλάμε τα μπαχαρικά είναι σε μια γωνιά της κουζίνας χρησιμοποιώντας διαφανή δοχεία τοποθετώντας τα με τάξη, έτσι ώστε να δημιουργήσουμε έναν καθαρό και τακτοποιημένο χώρο {εικ.3}. Μια καλή ιδέα είναι να χρησιμοποιήσουμε μικρά πλαστικά κουτάκια στο εσωτερικό των συρταριών, βοηθούν πολύ στην οργάνωση όλων των αντικειμένων του συρταριού και αποφεύγουμε τη δημιουργία χάους. {εικ.4}

The bathroom requires a lot of organizing as it the place where we store a lot of things such as towels, cleaning products, soaps as well as our personal things and cosmetics. To make the space look more harmonious we can use baskets lined with fabric with pretty colors and patterns {image 1}. We can use the inside of the cupboards to nail small wooden or metal shelves to store more things {image 2}. We can also use a slide rail with wire baskets under our sink and store our cleaning products and supplies {image 3} Finally a great idea is to have baskets with name tags, mommy's basket and the kid's basket for example where everything we need will be stored there {image 4}.

Το μπάνιο είναι ενας χώρος που απαιτεί μεγάλη οργάνωση, καθώς εκεί συνήθως αποθηκεύουμε πράγματα όπως πετσέτες, καθαριστικά, σαπούνια αλλά και τα προσωπικά μας είδη και καλυντικά. Δίνουμε ομοιομορφία και χρώμα στο χώρο χρησιμοποιώντας καλαθάκια με ένα ωραίο ύφασμα με χαρούμενα χρώματα και σχέδια {εικ.1}. Για να οργανώσουμε το χώρο και τα υλικά μας καλύτερα, μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε ακόμα και την εσωτερική μεριά της πόρτας των ντουλαπιών για να βιδώσουμε μικρά ξύλινα ή μεταλλικά ραφάκια έτσι ώστε να χωρέσουμε περισσότερα πράγματα {εικ.2}. Μπορούμε επίσης να τοποθετήσουμε μια ράγα στο εσωτερικό του ντουλαπιού, ετσι ώστε να έχουμε μικρά μεταλλικά καλάθακια να βγαίνουν συρταρωτά {εικ.3}. Μια ακόμα έξυπνη λύση είναι να χρησιμοποιήσουμε καλαθάκια με καρτελίτσα ονόματος, άλλο καλαθάκι για τα πράγματα της μαμάς και άλλo για των παιδιών, εχουμε ότι χρειαζόμαστε σ'ενα καλάθι. {εικ.4}

Froliche Weihnachten! or Merry Christmas!
It's starting to get close to the tree trimming season. This little international piece would make a great Christmas gift add-on. Of course it could sit nicely on your own Tannenbaum as well ;)
I stitched in classic red in green on plain white fabric, but backed the piece with a more festive green and white fabric. The hoop is 4" and comes with a funky wired edge ribbon for hanging. Can easily be removed though and hung on a wall or set on a fireplace mantle.

Upcycle Living - Spice Rack

Upcycle Living: Spice Rack & Street Art-Inspired Cupboard Curtain DIY


A little DIY inspiration this morning to start off the week from the folks at Elle Decor (Thailand). This is a cute project that one could adapt pretty easily. I don't know if I would go so far as making my own shelf from scratch as it shows here, but I'm sure I could find something easily enough (a wine crate?) to decoupage some papers to the back of to make a sweet little spice shelf like this in a jiffy. Just today I saw some jars like that at the dollar store - only $1 each!  This could be a pretty sweet and cheap do-it-yourself!
