Kitchen appliances tangible - visible but not disturbing - stow away

kitchen appliances, which I did not use every day, used to be stowed dust-proof in a cupboard in the utility room in the basement. Since I did not have them constantly under their nose, they were hardly used. The result: A cake was quickly stirred with a hand mixer, a toast was simply toasted and not filled or a strawberry smoothie was not prepared because the blender was not readily available.

So I put the devices on the kitchen worktop - and it was mixed again, stirred, toasted and baked waffles.

But then my husband gave me a new granite countertop and suddenly everything that stood on it, apart from the coffee machine, kettle and fruit bowl, bothered me, the plate is so beautiful.


So again in the cupboard in the HWR? No!

In addition to the kitchen, I have a tiny storage room for vacuum cleaners and cleaning utensils. But on the shelves I need every inch of it. Then I had a divine inspiration - at the front, over the vacuum cleaner and the plastic waste bin, I found some space where actually no one was. There my husband has mounted a plate, enough space for four devices.

There, the devices are now tangible, but stowed invisible. The worktop is free. Some corners are often found when you look specifically for it.
