The links still work for me, however. Bummer to hear the bowls are out of stock (and that they’re called “serving” not “mixing” — wha? — when I rebelliously use them to mix almost daily).

Thanks! Just wanted to let you know that those last three links no longer to anywhere, though, and the link to the bowls is no good, either (Amazon no longer has them). Thanks again!

There's an issue with getting them shipped in one piece, I think. I've found them at Super Wal-Mart, but not in the set. They were labeled as "serving" no "mixing" bowls.

Thanks so much. I'm moving in with my boyfriend this weekend, and was bumped to discover the teeny tiny kitchen at our new apartment - which by the way is exactly like yours minus the hanging microwave and the width for the kitchen island. I'm a terribly messy baker, and am so glad to learn the tips. And hmm the ice cream maker mistake - just committed it a few days ago. But I don't foresee us having the fancy kitchen aid thing anytime soon, so I guess it's okay. I also love the quote by a commenter's grandma up top, about room in the heart. Will make a note of it and post on my fridge as a reminder! Inspirational to say the least! Thanks so much.

Beautiful photography that I will be tuning into frequently for inspiration. I also really appreciate this entry about maxing out kitchen space. Mine here in San Francisco is teensy weensy but it at least ensures I keep the space clean (otherwise my roommate would go insane). Cheers! Just found your blog, it’s great!

We had kitchen items stored in--literally--every room of the apartment! So there's always that option, too. I wish I had read this post when I lived in my last apartment!

This is my first time to your website and already I'm singing your praises! I really do not have a tiny kitchen, but it's tinier than my last (hello gigantic granite island with enough storage to fit the entire Duggar family!) But I have got SO MUCH stuff that I just don't have room for it all. My solution? Complain. Doesn't get me very far but keeps me busy. We moved in here over two months ago and still I have stuff I have not unpacked because I have no room for it all. Reading this post made it all click for me. I don't HAVE to display my gigantor cookbook holder. Nor my stand-up mixer. Nor my new love, my Cuisinart food processor. Because as wonderful as they all are, I don't use them everyday. But one thing I do do everyday- complain about how small my kitchen is and how I have no room to actually cook. So... lightbulb- put it away!! Get rid of the twenty million mixing bowls that I don't NEED, and make room to put away the stuff that's cluttering my counters! Thank you for helping me see the light! ;) I was a little stubborn.

Depends on whose butt, I suppose. I'd say one butt, comfortable. Two butts might be a little close for comfort, but I'm sure if it is someone I like, it won't be the end of the world. Ha!

We moved into a much larger apartment with a luxurious kitchen - that is, luxurious until I began to unpack. I realised that my old small galley kitchen had 1/3 more cupboards and 1/2 more counterspace!! I must have been distracted by the still-working Victorian fireplace and brand new shiny appliances. The mantle of the fireplace has been great counter space and I've just learned to adapt along the way, like extra cookie cutters in the bedroom, more food staples in the linen closet and cook's tools in the laundry room:) What I admire, Deb, is all that you do and with only a single sink!!! I cannot function without a double sink and I even have a dishwasher! Don’t let bigger kitchens fool you.
