Our kitchen solution? Color-coding!

This is a little “no sew” project that I did to simplify our boat lives a bit.  Every family member has their own cup and color.  We chose these Yeti cups as they are great for coffee/water/wine/cocktails/tea/hot/cold/everything.  We use cloth napkins onboard to reduce paper and disposable use, and honestly some meals you barely use them.  I decided to add grommets from Sailrite to napkins in our “colors” and hang them in the galley so each member can go through the day with their own napkin.  No confusion, less waste!

Materials: linen napkins, Sailrite #1 brass grommets, Sailrite hole cutter, Sailrite cutting block & die holder, rubber mallet, 3M command hooks.


If I do it again I may look for a different fabric if I stick with grommets, or just add a ribbon “hook” to the  napkins.  Linen is a loose weave so the holes were a little tough to work with and secure in the grommets.  But otherwise, we have been using these for a month and love them!
