My kitchen at first would tell you that a neat person lives here. Then upon close inspection, a baker. I'm lucky to have 2 pantries (a converted coat closet for one), so I don't keep any appliances out except for the Kitchenaid, and the Tassimo coffee maker.
I have hooks for a whisk, stainless measuring spoons, and stainless measuring cups on the wall, near the Kitchenaid. These are things that I use very often and I like to have them at quick reach. I have more of these things in drawers for when I am doing lots of cooking.
I have put a lot of thought into orgainization. I don't like digging through cabinets looking for something, so small things are corralled. I have a 2-2 tier carousels for spices, one for sweet and one for savory. There is a plastic box where I keep the bulk pouches to refill the smaller bottles. I use loaf pans to corral my extracts and flavorings. All of this is out of site when the cabinet doors are closed. I have some deep pockets in my cabinets that are impossible to reach without getting on a chair, so there is nothing in those parts of the cabinets, wasted space, yes, but it turns into a Bermuda Triangle for lesser used things otherwise.
