We have probably missed and caught last minute grocery stores. Maybe we needed dimensions and ends for the appetizers or filling up with soda water and files for our cocktails. Make sure that all these items are not only seated on the counter when guests arrived, in particular these perishable teeth.
"It takes up space in the kitchen and makes it visually more chaotic. Take a minute to store these items and save this counter space!" said Hartman Malarkey.

The mail comes almost every day, and we don't always have time to sort all these invoices and advertisements. "It is so easy to enter the mail and throw it on the kitchen counter," notes Hartman Malarkey.
But when the guests arrive, this huge heap on their faces removes the gathering space. "Consider a mail bac ... which can be located in a home office, an extra table or even a drawer," adds Hartman Malarkey.
Just as we don't want our mail to see everyone, we don't want these sensitive documents either. Whether we are working on invoices or taxes, or we have other private papers, let's put them all. Riederman also advises to check your refrigerator, in case something sensitive is up there with a magnet.
