After staring at this countertop clutter for months, I finally found a product to get rid of it. The knife block that fits in the drawer. Along with the knife block, I found an expandable bamboo organizer with compartments wide enough to hold the larger serving utensils.
With everything safely hidden in a drawer (directly by the stove for easy access) the only step left was to label the separate slots. In all of my years on this planet, I have yet to find a situation that did not benefit from a clearly printed label. My label maker is one of my prized possessions; a birthday gift I received from my little brother years ago (ironically, the most un-organized person I know). Adding labels to the utensil organizer will help save time when the fiance unloads the dishwasher. This will alleviate questions about where things go, or me finding the pasta spoon where he thought the logical place would be, the pantry maybe. Or the washing machine.
The knife block I used came from the Westview Shop and holds up to 15 knives. You can find it here. The bamboo organizer was purchased from my ol' stand-by, TJ Maxx. It is made by a company called Lipper and can be found online here.
