A Small Problem

Moving hasn't been too bad for the most part. I knew we were going to have to downsize and I was okay with that. I actually really like the place we found and its a lot bigger than a lot of the places that we looked at. I only have one BIG problem....

This is my OLD kitchen

Its quite large with LOTS of cabinets and counter space and a nice pantry and all that kind of stuff.

This is my NEW kitchen

Its not so big with not so many cabinets and not a lot of counter space. Its been 3 weeks and I'm still trying to figure out where to put things. Our dining room table sits right in the middle of the room and no matter what I seem to do its ALWAYS a mess (these pictures were taken after me being sick for the whole weekend so its messier than normal). I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about the whole thing... any suggestions?
