Organized Cooking

Anything has to be better then the cluttered recipe drawer I have going on right now. Cream cheese frosting and chicken parmesan should never cross paths. What's the solution? All I see in stores are boring books that look more appropriate for cutting coupons than displaying my fabulous edible concoctions.

Check out these adorable recipe binders at Russell+Hazel. They are a little pricey ($110 for a set of two), but will definitely make organizing your recipes efficient, easy and totally up to par with that designer kitchen I know you have.

It's A Small World Afterall

As I mentioned in my last post, I live in a teeny house in West Hollywood, so I am always looking for ways to get organized. Wired did a piece on an East Village store that's taking "tiny" to a while new level.

Created as a response to new york city’s cramped living conditions, Tiny Living is geared to provide solutions for small spaces. They have basics including a tiny iron, tiny juicer, tiny lamp and the most space efficient toilet paper holders I've ever seen. Don't be too weirded out though, you can also pick up some normal size items that are simply better options for a petite living space.

Finally, us urban-ites have a place to shop for out little abodes!

Bamboo to the Rescue!

I live in a house in Los Angeles, which basically means I live in a home that is smaller than most master bedrooms...here, we like to call them "bungalows."

While I have actually learned quite well how to live with little or no space, I am always looking for anything to make getting organized that much easier. Thanks to a lead from Apartment Therapy, I am going to check out these cool magnetic bamboo file holders boxes. Seems like the perfect spot for mail or things that are "to-be-filed." Wahoo for bamboo!
