if you can’t stand the mess, get out of the kitchen.
my husband and i once considered buying a house with such an open floor plan that the kitchen could be seen from almost every room of the downstairs. we both loved this house (as long as we were not the ones living in it).
we know ourselves. making kitchen messes is a skill we’ve been honing for almost 12 years now. cleaning them up is not. but, as evidenced by today’s reality project submission from tiffany, we are not alone.
tiffany writes:
what you see below is proof that we cook a lot but that we get in and out of the kitchen as quickly as humanly possible. that means that you’ll find food debris pretty much everywhere. we make the food and almost always neglect the clean up part. we can’t even be bothered to close the pantry doors!
tiffany continues:
this scene had about 36 hours more of a mess added to it before it got cleaned. that’s our reality. for us, there’s no time or energy left to clean after cooking. i imagine the kitchen cleaner at the front of the shot saying, “not dirty enough to challenge me. pile some more on before you call for my services!”
thank you , tiffany. and are those hubcaps above your stove? very cool.

Ha ha. No, not hubcaps, though I’ll confess that I don’t know what they are! I found them at the Junior League thrift store in Jackson, MS for $5 maybe 3 years ago. I thought they made for cool decor, and for a song!
