(On Tuesdays and Thursdays I share a photo and just a few words.)
…this is what my kitchen counters look like when I’m making dinner.
I always wonder if the same thing would happen in a spacious kitchen with expansive countertops. Would my mess expand to fill the available area? Or would I experience that magical thing called Empty Counter Space?
The world may never know.

Speaking as someone who has lived in places with 2-3 feet of counter space and others with up to 10+, and now somewhere in the middle...yes, it can spread out to fit! Lol! :D

In my experience, if you tend towards filled counters, you will fill the available space. If you're like my sister, and really, really good about cleaning as you go, you will experience Empty Counter Space.
I know I never will, except for at the end of the day when I clean the kitchen counters off in preparation for the next day's culinary adventures!

Empty counter space is ellusive at my house. Doesn't exist! If it does, you or someone in the family will put something there!

After eight years of living in tiny apartments with tiny amounts of counter space, we bought a house and my husband designed us a new kitchen for it. I told him that the only thing I cared about was as much counter space as possible. So he did that- I now have a ridiculous amount of counter space. And guess what? The mess really does magically expand. There is no Empty Counter Space. It is like how goldfish grow according to the size bowl you put them in.
