Having an organized kitchen isn't always easy. Finding a spot for every single appliance and tool can be difficult because there's so much to squeeze in to one kitchen! Also, trying to find enough counter space for prepping meals is an ongoing struggle, especially if you're like me and you do not like clutter!
Silverware is one of those things that you think you'll never run out of because you try and buy a lot of it, but you always seem to run short on. Keeping it all organized can also be a challenge. I don't know about you, but if I didn't have some kind of container or drawer organizer for all of my silverware, I know it would be all over the place!
