Hi my name is Caira Button and I am a 25 year old who makes videos about tips, tricks, and organization for living in a studio. I love taking care of my plants, Trader Joes cooking, traveling, fitness and road trips. I would love for you to join me! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Finally someone with a real small kitchen like me!!!
It’s a teeny tiny one!
Mine is smaller😬🤣
Finally!! A one sided kitchen like mine!
Same
Amen. My kitchen is very small, too.
I’m so grateful for this. A lot of “small kitchen” videos on YT show a medium sized kitchen but yours is actually tiny like mine so this helped! Thanks :)
Ok this is what I mean by tiny kitchen, one that doesn’t have room for a table.
Exactly! So small!!
yes!!! like on pinterest when u look for ideas theyre all kitchens in like a $3000/mo apartment in NYC like no....my oven barely works and i cant move around lol
My kitchen has a stove, sink, enough counter space for a dish drainer, and a fridge. I have some top cabinets, and I was able to fit a narrow bookshelf and narrow microwave stand to use for storing a few kitchen needs. I have a narrow shelf unit in my livingroom that is used as a pantry and I have a pub style table and 2 chairs as well.
FINALLY someone with an actual small kitchen! 👏🏻 Thanks for all of the tips and ideas 🙂
I just signed for my own apartment to live alone in a little (LITTLE) one-bedroom apartment with the tiniest galley kitchen I have ever seen. I'm so, so excited but space is going to be so limited. I have been binge re-watching your small space videos to help hype me up and help me prepare. Your content is part of what's inspired me to take a leap for my own tiny space in the first place. I'm trying really hard to model my planning on your idea of things serving multiple purposes and spaces being flexible!! But I love my kitchen gadgets so it's hard to acknowledge that I'm going to have to be choosy...
Ahhh love this! I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s hard to pair down (especially in the kitchen) but is so worth it to have your own space!
I love drip drying in the sink it’s such a good small kitchen back! I love your kitchen it’s an actual realistic small kitchen and my gosh that smeg fridge is beautiful
I can completely understand no room in a tiny kitchen! I moved from a huge 3 bedroom house with cabinets galore and into a tiny one bedroom I have never felt so overwhelmed
It gets easier! Just be really strict on getting rid of items you don’t use, but I have totally been there🤍
This was the first "small" kitchen video that was actually as small as mine. Key word difference: "tiny" 🤣
I have ONE drawer.
Thanks for sharing.
I can relate. Having enough but not too much is an ongoing situation. I like what you did with the shelves and cuphoards. And your retro fridge is perfect.
My husband and I are moving into a really cute, but small apartment. The kitchen is so small. Thanks for the tips. I found a few that I will be using.
Small kitchens are the real challenge! I don't wanna hear tips from my friends w/ ginormous with GIANT kitchens back in Texas. haha
Your mason jars look really pretty up there on the shelf. Would love to see a video on how you use the bulk foods section of the different markets.
There’s not that many stores near me that do bulk sections unfortunately, but I’ll keep that in mind!!
You are so adorable! I love your energy and your minimalist attitude. Awesome! Thanks for the tips and inspiration.
Thank you so much🥰
I love this ! Thank you. My parents always try to give me stuff for my kitchen and it could be like anything even like a jug for example... and I'm like I really have no room. Lol
Wow! I just upgraded my kitchen from tiny to small. Thanks for the ideas. If you can do it, so can I.
Yay hope this helped!!
Lots of fun and a lot of good ideas!
Clear trays helped to organize my refrigerators upper shelf. So much easier to just pull them out to get what I need then to dig and move everything around. Lazy susans helped with the rest.
This is such an awesome tip!! Thank you so much! I’m gonna have to try that!
Thank you i have the same size kitchen!! No pantry and not a lot of cabinets.
This is the first time that I've watched a tiny kitchen video that is an actual tiny kitchen. Yours is even smaller than mine!
I have the same sized drawers; I liked how you keep cutlery in jam jars :) I do have another cupboard on the walls which means I can put my plates away, but I'm going to ask my landlord if I can fix a strip of hooks underneath for my cups. I'm really short, so I can only just reach the bottom shelf and need to use the step-stool all the time.
I have the same Ikea stand, but I use it on my counter - boxed tea bags underneath with the sugar and coffee jars on top - next to my kettle (UK, so it's an electric one). I was going to use it for my plates but it's too big for the cupboard.
I have a trolley from Ikea, which holds my glass jars full of dry goods. I think that they look quite pretty, even though they're not particularly space saving because of being round.
My fridge is only half the size :( and has a counter on top (which is where my kettle sits), and it also has a tiny freezer compartment, where I keep frozen fruit and ice cubes. So, I bought a countertop freezer which fits perfectly on a shelving unit from Ikea - it's one that has bars/legs on the top and bottom, so you can decide how high you want the unit to stand - and the box freezer can't move around (much) when you open the door because the bars stop it.
I have too many kitchen utensils and pans etc., as I also moved from a house, but I'm having a hard time letting things go. I've decluttered twice and it's still not sorted. But that is the secret to organising a small kitchen - don't have too much stuff!
great organization
commentary was superb
thanks for sharing
This is so helpful, thank you!!
Yay glad it helped!!
You’re cute. I’m going to look up those salts, they look Yummo!
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕
They are so good!!!!
Maybe put some small baskets in your cabinet so you can pull it down to get what you need easier.
Great idea!!
Loved this video
Yes! Her kitchen is my kitchen.... actually I have a tad less counter space 😅
How about a mountable magnetic knife holder? And under sink rolling metal basket (two tiered)? You have a fab smile and a great attitude - thanks!
Yes great ideas!!
Thanks for sharing!
Great tips! Have you thought about using a magnet strip to store your knives on the side of the fridge? Might recoup some of the top drawer space.
That would have been a great idea!
That is seriously the best thing I’ve done in my small kitchen
I use Dollar tree push designer pins. To hang things inside cabinet doors and doesn't mess up the landlords property.
Ooh great idea!
It's so beautiful , God bless keep safe
Thank you!!
We're IKEA people too. I want to film a video about our small cabin and how we have it organized just for you. Because we're both into small space living and you might enjoy seeing it.
I would LOVE that!!
I would like to see it too. Send a link :)
I want that island!❤️
It’s the best!!
It's nice that uou have a full refrigerator
That's awesome Caira... I have a small kitchen as well and I am still trying to find places to put stuff. I haven't thought about putting some of my pans in the bottom shelf in the oven. Thanks.
Yay I’m glad it helped!
I saw a lady use cheep white hooks that screw into walls .. inside a broom closet or small wall. She hung each skillets all on the wall. Just a thought. I use the bottom drawer for all my rags, towels, and gadgets.
Omg love your fridge where did you buy it,
"I've had this bowl forever. I got it like 3 years ago".
tell me about your reusable "plastic" bags, please...silicone and the other ones....i'd love a suggestion. i use them a lot for packing lunches and sometimes bring them home to wash and reuse (lol...no judging). thanks so much. i love the island thing. i am looking for something like this for our home which is only 800 sq feet.
The silicone ones are my favorite! They wash the easiest and are the most durable. Here is a link to similar ones! amzn.to/3jrxHsg
Caira, where did you get those white grippy things that keep the bottles in the fridge door from moving? And what are they called?
They came in the fridge! I’m not sure what they are called but they work really well.
You should should get a spice rack and label the jars it comes with!!
Love that!
Couldn’t find the deep clean of said kitchen in the link below, bit disappointed cos was really looking forward to it ☹️
You sound a little like Darcy! 😃
Okay, but an honest question! If any of the people here live in a city (not a suburban area, but more like downtown), please tell me how do you handle the dust that collects on top of your open shelving? Especially one like hers -with dishes and etc.
Yes, that's why I moved my plates and bowls into the cupboard. I live on a main high street in a town that has a lot of heavy traffic. It's on an A road that runs north to south, all the way to London. The dust/pollution is awful.
I've thought about buying a dish rack, so my plates can stand upright. I thought that it might prevent dust settling so easily. Although, you'd need space for one to fit.
How big is that oven?
I really like some of these ideas and I'm going to implement some of this. However, I think you might want to install a lip on all of those shelves if you live in an earthquake area. I can't watch this without seeing all of those lovely glass jars rattling right off 🙈
Luckily no earthquakes in chicago!
Very helpful, thanks..but your dog food with your cleaners..not a good idea... things might leak and u might not notice until too late... it happened to me, so thought I would share, and thanks again for sharing.
How do you keep you cutlery so shiny? I need to polish mine.
I think it just looks that way because of the color! I don’t shine it or anything
my kitchen doesnt even have drawers and cabinets are so high i can only use bottom shelf
not to mention NO SHELFING outside of cabinets and cant install shelves on the one available wall because its brick
I use a step stool for my high up shelves! The bricks make that tough though. There are magnetic shelves you could put on your fridge for smaller things!
You have drawers..I don’t don’t even have drawers 😭 my kitchen is tiny as well
Where did you get the rolling cart
I got mine used but here is a super similar one www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZKL9PYL/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07ZKL9PYL&linkCode=as2&tag=cairabutton-20&linkId=2923ac80fdfdb35c014394f6ee74b2fd
Where did you get the island ?
I got it on Facebook marketplace but there are similar ones on wayfair!
Are the silicon bags easy to clean?
Mine is. Just pop it into a washing up bowl with warm soapy water, wash, then rinse.
I'm not sure if they're suitable for the dishwasher, as I don't have one.
I get confused about this, so I'm posing the question. I've seen a number of people using the drawer under the oven for storage...is that a common practice or is that because of the smaller space? Just curious because it does function as the ovens broiler and has a lot of heat down there.
I read something about that like a year ago but I had only ever seen it used for storage. Mine definitely didn’t have a broiling function down there but I can see how it would keep things warm.
I read that the bottom drawer is to keep food warm once its done cooking
I’ve only used my for pots and pans storage
Cookers used to be like this in the UK, when I was young. My mum and nan always used it to store pans. It's too low for keeping food warm.
Cookers used to have a grill (similar to your broiler, I think) right up top, at eye level, but they are now inside the oven.
That "small" cooker looks average size to me. Although I'm jealous of my friends' kitchens with their double ovens and even a gorgeous Aga!
do you have the dimensions of the kitchen area?
It was probably 5-6 ft long. I don’t have exact dimensions
Anyone knows her fridge brand name?
It’s a smeg fridge!
Mine is smaller than hers
Oh my gosh! That is a tiny kitchen! Hope some of these hacks at least helped!
What fridge is that
A smeg!
Hello i love your eyes😃❤️
Thank you!!
Not smaller than mine!
Ahh I couldn’t imagine having a smaller kitchen!
So you have a roomate??
I live with my boyfriend!
As a possessor of a really tiny kitchen I see a lot of waste of space really......most of it is disorganised.... drawers are great though
Putting fruits and vegetables in one bowl is a terrible idea. One can find a list of what safety stored together online if interested.
That was exhausting. Who is Alex?
why do you have 4 fire cook top? your kitchen is too small, to have even one....
You can see that the cooker fits in the space perfectly. It isn't a separate hob and oven. It's likely that the landlord installed it with the kitchen cupboards.
