What's in your kitchen cabinets?
As I was planning and organizing my first home with my husband, I wanted to not only focus on the exterior decor that's easily viewable, but on the mostly-hidden interiors as well. When it comes to my kitchen, I like things organized for easy access. It's extremely frustrating when ingredients are not handy, and you never know where things are or what you have in stock. Therefore, by keeping your kitchen cabinets organized and essentials accessible, you're job will be easier and actually enjoyable. Who wouldn't want to be in a pretty space making pretty "tasty" things, right?
I have an inexplicable fascination towards containers to organize things. In my dream, I want to own every type of container there is out there. (Interesting... we used to make fun of my mom for this) Now to be realistic, I stuck to a few options that worked for my kitchen while I continue to expand my collection and learn my needs. Honestly, when you are first starting as newly-weds, you might not be aware of the type or the amount of storage boxes, containers, or baskets you'd require. As days go by and you learn to explore your culinary skills, your list of essential ingredients will add up, and so will your need for more storage products. Below I have listed out a few options for you. Have fun organizing some of these things in your life, so whenever you are in the kitchen and need to cook, you can feel prepared and good about being in it! I will show you how I have used containers and calligraphy to better organize my kitchen. It seems to always catch people's attention and turns into a talking point at a glance. Happy planning and happy shopping! Side note: when there is more than one person using the kitchen, it's important to make sure everyone is onboard with the same system of organization.

Trust me you need one"There are no pictures with my parents!" If you are expecting your photographer to refund you the financial investment made towards the contract, you are in for some more disappointment. Instead, plan ahead! This post was inspired by South Asian weddings in mind. South Asians traditionally have strong ties with their immediate family. Their affinity with their extended families extend PREET-ty far. Ask me! I can attest to that. We all have expectations when it comes to pictures, but that expectation must be communicated with the photographer in advance.
Wedding pictures tend to be a lot about the bride, groom, bridal party, their parents and families. Due to their strong ties and regular association with extended families, South Asian Americans usually want to have many members of their families involved in some planning process. Every decision and choice in one way or another involves the immediate family members. Okay I digress! Point is: they wish to have formal pictures with as many people as possible to include all families and friends. Since that is nearly impossible given the large number of guests, all the rituals and traditions to follow, and the time constraints of venues, we can at least list a few very important ones. |
