Counter Clutter

What do you do with all of your counter top clutter? 


I'm great about putting away the mail as soon as it comes in.  I put the dishes away as soon as we're done with them (most all of the time).  But the one thing that still keeps the counter looking cluttered is all of the appliances.

I've got a stand mixer, a toaster, a blender & a popcorn popper that always stay out.  I have a breadmaker that comes out when I use it, and stays out until company is coming over, then it gets put on the floor of the pantry until it's used again- and the cycle continues week after week. 

I'm in the market for a new tea kettle which will stay on the stove just as my last beloved tea kettle did before I absent mindedly ruined it. *UPDATE- I did get a tea kettle, the exact same one I already had, and I love it-  check it out on Amazon.*  I'd also like to maybe get a coffee pot again and a juicer.  But where in the world do I keep all of these things? 

I use my appliances often, so I hate to put them away and lug them out again each day.  Any solutions to the crazy counter clutter battle?
