Here are 12 easy Small Kitchen Organization Ideas! These simple tips will keep your cabinets, drawers and countertops organized, tidy and super functional. We recently moved back to New York City, which means we're back to apartment living and small kitchen living. The move-in process is always pretty stressful, but one of the things that made it much easier for me was coming up with a plan for organizing different areas of the house. I actually worked with my friends from Horderly to organize three spaces in our house: the kitchen, my prop closet, and our entryway closet. To me,...

It’s my mom’s birthday and there’s no better way to say happy birthday than with a special cake! I’ve always believed in simple ways to show love, because to me the simple gestures are the ones that are the most thoughtful and the most loving.
