You know, I spend a lot of time in my kitchen in order to concoct various recipes.
Also, I'm always on the lookout for original and inexpensive decorating ideas to spruce up my kitchen.
In the kitchen, there are many uncorked bottles of wine to enhance my dishes and sauces. So, rather than throwing away these corks, I followed the advice of our friend Bastien and collected them all to make an original trivet!

The tea towels? I use it all the time when I cook. I tend to leave them lying around on my counter or on my kitchen table. I remedied this little mess by once again following Bastien's advice:with a clothespin, I can hang them easily!

To simmer good little dishes, I like to have all my ingredients close at hand without rummaging through my cupboards. I want practicality but also aesthetics!
So I opted for a chic and inexpensive decorative solution:recycling all my empty jars. Coffee beans, spices and herbs, flour, pasta or even rice, each in its own jar. I arrange them on my worktop or on a shelf and for a chic look, I place a pretty ribbon around each one that recalls the colors of my kitchen!
Cut my vegetables, fruits, meats and fish on solid wood? I say yes right away! It is much more pleasant and healthy than a simple plastic board. Only here… you still need to have the budget to invest in this expensive utensil. Thanks to Bastien's trick, I made my own cutting board at a lower cost!

The kitchen is the room where I spend the most time. So I set up a blackboard there to write down errands, appointments for the day and other priorities. This way, I always have important tasks in front of me. Thank you Bastien for this practical idea!
Glasses, I have them in all colors and all shapes. I then came up with an idea to personalize them according to my desires:using a special water-based paint marker (Amazon link), I make small drawings on them that amuse my whole tribe! An original way to revamp them for all circumstances.
Easy to clean, just wipe with a sponge.

A really original idea from our decoration blogger Arielle:a transparent oilcloth for my kitchen table under which I have photos! Family, friends or even trips and events, I can admire these shots while eating or cooking.
