Kitchen Video: Countertop Organization and Storage

August 19, 2010

Those of us with modestly sized open kitchens know the importance of counter organization; here is a video with some of our preferred strategies for containing—and beautifying—countertop clutter. Video by Jason Jurgens.

SINK ACCESSORIES

Above: For dish scrubber containment, I use the heavyweight pewter Measuring Beaker from venerable Italian company Match; it's 6 inches high and is handmade by artisans in Northern Italy; $144 at Tabula Tua. Although the price is punishing, I've had mine for 15 years; because of its anchoring heft, it's ideal for holding dish brushes and bottle cleaners. Above middle: Iris Hantverk Bottle Brush; handmade of oil-treated birch and natural horse hair bristles; $36 at Brook Farm General Store in Brooklyn. Above R: Dish Brush from Germany; made of beechwood and sisal; $6 at Brook Farm General Store.
