Getting the Kitchen Organized with Core Home {& A Giveaway!}

A big thank you to my friends at Core Home for providing me with my new favorite kitchen organization finds to share with you all today...

I think by now you all know that I happen to be a pretty loyal fan of Core Home. Their knives are my go-to every time I am cooking. Their bamboo cutting boards and pastry boards are not only beautiful, but also stand up to all the chopping and dough rolling that I dish out.  And just about everything that they make is bright and colorful! I love the pop of color that Core products give my kitchen. :)
Recently I was contacted by Core to give some of their kitchen organization products a go, and I was totally game.  With the 2nd Annual Spring De-Junk Challenge starting next week & spring cleaning on my mind, I knew my kitchen needed a little sprucing up and reorganizing.  

The ceramic utensil holder that I received from Core Home the first time that I had worked with them had been becoming increasingly overcrowded with wooden spoons, spatulas, whisks, knives, and everything else in between...

I mean, they were pretty much crammed in there. I maybe had room for one more utensil... maybe. ;)

You all can imagine how thrilled I was when they sent me another ceramic utensil holder. I was able to thin out my original holder by sorting out all the utensils that I considered mostly for baking- like the whisks, wooden spoons, and rubber spatulas and moving them to the new holder. No more shoving in my favorite cooking and baking utensils! And the best part? Now I have room for even more utensils (yes, I have a problem). ;)

Another source of disorganized contention in my kitchen was what I have deemed my baking drawer...

Every time I needed something from this drawer I knew I was up for a struggle. Often times I couldn't even find what I was looking for at all unless I took out item after item until I finally found it. 
Thank goodness for Core's bamboo utensil tray coming to my rescue!

Everything is neat and organized, and I can see what I need at just one glance! :) No more searching and yanking things out. No more frustration. Seriously, you all. I am once again enjoying baking. Don't get me wrong- I have always loved to bake. But when I knew I would have to be wrestling with my once infamous baking drawer to get anything done, it was definitely a tad discouraging. 

Does your kitchen need some serious organization and sprucing up? Well, then you are in luck, my friends! My friends over at Core Home want to send one of you all everything that they sent me...
  • A large bamboo flatware tray
  • A ceramic Utensils organizer
  • An In-Sink Mat Protector
Even though I didn't get to snap any photos of the mat protector in action, this has been a lifesaver for everything that I hand wash. Have you ever cracked a favorite wine glass or that pot for your coffee maker on the bottom of the sink while washing it? Then you will definitely appreciate the Core In-Sink Mat Protector! It also protects your sink if it is prone to chipping or scratching. :)
