Step 1
Now that you are enjoying your beautiful soapstone stone kitchen countertop it’s time to get to work, clear the clutter and enhance the look of your entire kitchen. The first order of business is to stow away those appliance that you don’t use on a daily basis. The ones that come to mind include the bread maker, crock-pot, rice maker, espresso machine, and yes that includes those popular countertop grills. You know the culprits.

Step 2
Candles always add warmth and coziness to any space. Purchase a pair of inexpensive glass hurricane lamps, add a candle, and surround it with materials that reflect the season. Cranberries, lentils, beans, sand, and coffee beans all look natural and beautiful.

Step 3
Keep your dish soap in a soap dispenser or pretty glass bottle.

Step 4
If you use bar soap next to your sink, take a small shallow dish, fill it with small pebbles or glass stones (from the craft store) to create a unique soap dish.

A small bouquet of fresh flowers will bring the outside inside. Also consider a few pots of herbs near the window.

Step 6
A mini vignette on the serving tray can be both practical as well as decorative. Try two coffee cups, a sugar bowl, decorative napkins, and spoons. For wine lovers, a few wine glasses and a bottle of wine can do the trick. Consider a soapstone wine chiller. You can find them at http://www.soapstones.com/store/buy_soapstone_kitchenware.html . Your mini vignette can be easily moved as needed.

Step 7
A bowl or basket of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables such as apple, squash, oranges, peppers, lemons and limes can add a splash of color especially to corner spaces
