It’s officially the calm before the storm – the whirlwind that is the holiday season! While this is hands-down one of the busiest times of the year for me, it’s also my absolute favorite. Before we jump into Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, holiday decor, and all the hosting must-haves, I wanted to take a moment to encourage you to set yourself up for success. If your household is anything like mine, once October hits, things move fast – and the chance to hit pause, let alone refresh your kitchen, becomes pretty rare.
So before the chaos kicks in, I’m sharing a peek at my latest kitchen refresh – just a few simple updates that are already making me feel more grounded and prepared for the season ahead. Keep scrolling for all the details!

Kitchen REfresh | Reduce Countertop Clutter
I’m always looking for ways to bring a little more minimalism into our home especially in the kitchen. I never imagined I’d be someone who stores knives in a drawer, but this simple switch has completely transformed our space. It’s been such a game changer for clearing up countertop clutter.
Make Sure Everything Has a Home

It’s safe to say I’m a Stanley girl through and through and honestly, these simple organizing hacks are how I justify the obsession. The pull-out organizer has been such a game changer for lower cabinets and even the pantry. And if you’re working with tighter spaces, the rotating option is perfect for keeping things tidy without sacrificing access. When everything has a designated home, it makes holiday cooking, cleaning, and prepping feel so much more manageable.
Spice Jar Refresh

This might just be my favorite part of our recent kitchen refresh. I’ll admit, I wasn’t totally sold on the idea of a spice jar drawer at first. But now? I’m completely convinced. Not only does it free up an entire cabinet, but the minimalist labels and bamboo lids make it incredibly satisfying to look at and use. With the holidays around the corner and extra hands in the kitchen, having every spice easy to spot is such a win. Goodbye, mismatched labels and hello, organized bliss.
