My baking pans are a mixture of my grandmothers, moms and mine. I adore the older ones, they just don't make them like they used to.
I like the way you have it organized and I am in the same boat with too many pans and unlike you, they are not nearly that organized. The pans are large and many, so they are a bit of a problem finding the room. They are kind of stacked in each other and it is a major dance to get the one I want.
The cookie cutters are another thing. OMG! I do feel like a hoarder with those. So many inherited ones and the pottery ones, well, you get the idea.
I might need to take a page out of your book and try to reorganize it in a way that will make it easier to find when the time comes to use it. I think yours looks good and the method to your madness seems like a sure deal to find what you are looking for.
Nicely done!
Hope you have a great start to your week!

I think I only have one pot that belonged to my Granny, but it is not for baking, it is actually the thick pot only from an old pressure cooker. Whenever I cook caramel icing, I use that pot because it is thick enough for the icing to cook up to the temperature needed without burning because the pot is too thin. Oh wait, I guess I do have a glass loaf pan that belonged to her too, but no fun baking pan.
Some places I have lived have had better storage space than this house, so I am forced to figure out how to make the best use of space possible.
Cookie cutters, I love them ! I did a post last fall I think about going through my cookie cutters and reducing the hoard from a large tote container to a smaller one. I don't really have any heirlooms on those, but the set of copper colored ones my Dad gave me 45+ years ago.... I would never let go of on purpose. That set includes most of the Christmas ones I still use.
This week will be phonehell week, my least favorite. Lord help me ! I'm going to need the patience of Jobe !
I guess I never call my heirlooms, but, they really are, aren't they? They have always been around, so I just think of them as part of the family... :)
I need to do the same with my cookie cutters. I do remember that post and it was such a fun one! The copper ones are some of my girl's favorites. I am surprised they don't take a sharpie and put their names on them. Kidding. :)
For the size of this house, the panty space got gypped. The shore house has one of those old walk-in pantries that can fit a barrel of lard in there. If I was to use lard. Modern houses lack storage space, that is what I think.
Phonehell week is never fun. Should I be sending you some liquid happiness in a bottle? People tend to be so rude to people on the other end of the phone. I think the company should send out a personal masseuse on phonehell week.
Ahhhhh. I like that idea. I am already relaxed.
This house was built in the 80's by a man that built trailers and stuff and he built himself a HUGE work building at the back of the property that may Uncle has full of his "stuff"..... so I can only guess that since the shop was built before the house, that he didn't see any need for additonal storage. Who really know, but the pantry is small here and there is no attached utility room on the outside like normal houses. I guess everything can't be perfect, but it certainly would be nice if it were ! Ugh...
I have started using a vacation day on Wednesdays on phone hell week. I hate to use them that way, but like I said before, it's for my mental health....LOL... anyway.... that doesn't help today ! It may kill me before I am able to give it up.
No. You are too laid back and happy to let it get to you. 💜
