Photography by Maria Del Rio, courtesy of Blisshaus. Wiebke Liu of Blisshaus is “on a mission to clean up the world, one kitchen at a time,” she says. Over the past two years, she has transformed kitchens in locations as far-flung as New York and Illinois. Join us for a look at Wiebke’s own kitchen. Wiebke’s pristine, streamlined kitchen in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood of Oakland is where it all began. Blisshaus offers three on site pantry organizing packages starting with a more basic package and going up to a full on pantry assault Our home organization gurus will come to your home and give your kitchen a Blisshaus makeover Wiebke... ...says We clear the required shelf space give the cabinet interiors a good scrub and set up and fill the jars for you We can also help declutter and organize your shelves and drawers See a gallery of reorganized spaces here Wiebke in her renovated Crocker Highlands kitchen; the Nerd stools are by Muuto. Wiebke also offers pantry kits for homeowners up to tackling their cabinets on their own, starting with a 50-piece DIY Core Pantry Kit, which includes pantry jars and labels, recipe cards, shopping lists, and set-up instructions. “We tested a range of jars from Ikea (too flimsy) to jars made in India and China, before settling on jars from Italy. We have my own proprietary jars in development,” Wiebke says. A Set of Two Jars ranges from $12 to $30. Blisshaus offers five different Spice Kits, ranging from the Core Spices kit (oregano, thyme, cumin, and so on); $55 to the Near & Far Eastern Spice kit. To encourage good cooking habits, Wiebke offers seasonal postcard-sized Pantry-Ready Recipe Cards ($25 for a set of 12) and an old-fashioned Recipe Card Holder ($10). The Market Kit is “designed to let you stock your pantry without using a single shred of plastic.” It includes two jute tote bags, three mesh produce bags, three flour sacks, and two glass containers for $85. “Our goal is to entice you to join our new, old way of living,” Wiebke says.
