A.S.
I have a cookie jar with no cookies in it, a coffee pot, a glass bowl holding tea bags, a plant, a fruit bowl, a blender, a toaster, a utensil holder, and olive oil decanter thingy, two teapots and a few little decorative items on my kitchen counters. My china cabinet is all junked up with art supplies, my 4 year old's artistic endeavors, mail, paperwork, etc and the top of my fridge is junked up with cookbooks and recipes. I don't know what you could do besides maybe getting a filing cabinet and a key rack. Go through the mail every Sunday and get rid of anything you don't need. Put the important items in the filing cabinet or in a big folder. If you don't use the mixer very often, store it somewhere else (garage, hall closet, basement) and go get it when needed.
