Whenever I'm cooking, I like to have my kitchen tools at the ready, whether I need wooden spoons, spatulas (I love my wooden spatula) or a good set of tongs. Having a handy container or two sitting on my countertop is key, and far, far better than a utensil drawer! — Liza from (a)Musing Foodie

Great article! It is the details in kitchen design that make all the difference...even simple things like the utensil holders. I always like the idea of using pitchers and pottery but also love the simple idea of using a stainless steel water pitcher. Great inspiration!
