The Most Amazing Little (Budget) Kitchen Trolley!

Disclaimer: I have not been paid to write this post, I just wanted to share our latest discovery and how it completed our kitchen makeover.

Hi Honeys,
In my last post I shared the details of our recent kitchen makeover and, as promised, this post will focus on the wonderful little kitchen trolley which just has to be the best thing we've bought in a long time for our home.

The amazing little budget trolley that completed our kitchen makeover.

I really am so ridiculously happy with this useful little trolley.  It blends so perfectly into our kitchen and has already made itself completely invaluable by helping to clear counter clutter & by giving me a way to organise all of my silicone baking things.


As you can see from the photo below honeys, it doesn't take up much room.....

When it's in place under the counter top it blends perfectly alongside the cabinet it sits by and holds so many things as I'll show you in this post 😊   The trolley has two handles on the front, the top one belongs to the very useful drawer, and the other handle is used to move the trolley around.

The trolley sits on 4 casters which allows it to easily glide in and out from under the counter.  Since I have it sitting under the new worktop, where my sweet Hubby has set up my baking essentials all together on one wall for me, I decided to use the trolley to store my assorted silicone baking things as well as the juicer and food processor....

As you can see the lower shelf is the perfect home for our food processor and juicer.  It's ideal because aside from keeping them safe from damage, it also helps us avoid counter (or valuable cabinet space) clutter. 

The upper shelf holds my growing collection of silicone bake ware, with smaller items like chocolate moulds and cupcake & muffin trays corralled in this container.

The larger silicone items are stored in the larger of the Ikea ISTAD bags which are, in my humble opinion, completely fabulous! I've found so many uses for them around our home. I adore them! They're available in different sizes too and have double seals.  Love them 😊

The drawer at the front of the trolley holds various baking accessories, including ceramic items such as a tub of ceramic "baking beans" (used when baking pastry/flan cases) and a pretty little set of ceramic measuring cups.  It also holds silicone cupcake cases, sticks for cake pops, an electronic timer and paper cupcake & muffin cases.

I really do love this little trolley honeys. I love that it manages to store so much in such a small space, that it's all out of sight (tidy kitchen! yaaaay!) but that it's all there whenever I need it and is so easy to access too.

So, what do you think honeys? Have you found any new storage methods you love? If so, please share in the comments section? In my next post I'll share what we've done to the kitchen walls and how we've used open shelves instead of wall cabinets to organise things & also to just display things that make us smile 😊 

Till next time then dear ones, please stay warm and safe. As I write this we're being battered by heavy winds and rain. Sending heaps of hugs always xx

Edit:  Since I wrote this post in early 2015, Argos have stopped selling this trolley I'm afraid.  If they bring it back I'll update this post again. I'm sorry honeys x
