As long as it’s neat and organized—I’m all for it. The one thing I really hate is cluttered up kitchen and bathroom countertops—big pet peeve of mine.

OH,me too! We moved most of our stuff over to the new house already and i tried something new. I put all my cookbooks on the countertop. Once all the stuff is put away i'll decide if they stay or if they get put away. Problem is bookshelves are upstairs this time and i want them to be more accessible. Usually only the coffee pot and toaster stay out on my counter tops. Hidden somewhat, but they're there.
