YKYCW...your whole house looks more like storage rooms, than it looks like anything featured in Better Homes and Gardens.
Right now, my kitchen, after tidying, contains:
this year's potatoes and garlic drying (ran out of room in the spare room, where carrots and parsnips are taking up space)
buckets of apples waiting to be sauced
green tomatoes waiting to be chutneyed
herbs drying on the towel rack alongside the towels
box of firewood for the woodstove, bits of sawdust etc. falling everywhere
spare chicken waterers
vat of saskatoon-currant wine waiting to be racked to secondary fermenter
twelve lbs honey waiting to be made into mead
the daily eggs proudly displayed...behind the dirty dishes
300lb layer feed stacked along the wall (the rest of the bags from the pallet are in the spare room and my bedroom)
Size of kitchen, 12' x 16'. Includes table, counters and appliances too.
I ask myself, why bother doing dishes when you can't even see the sink?
