i’ve started tackling some kitchen cupboards (to match my tidy pots and pans, as per your suggestions!!)

i’ve found with stuff in the basement (read: storage junk we probably don’t need) my rule is every time i go down there i need to take one item and either throw it in the bin or put it in the garage sale pile for the spring. we’re getting there slowly but surely!

Technically it is the same drawer. We did all of our drawers in the kitchen but started with the Utensil Drawer.

I liked the utensil drawer so much I had hubby do all of the drawers. We have two sets of flat wear because one set is easier for the kids to use. So we put them all in one drawer and moved the other stuff to other drawers. In the link below the pizza cutter is usually on top of the cheese grater, it fits perfect. It must of been out being washed in the picture. We freed up a whole drawer in the kitchen by making a place for everything.

Since doing this everything stays that way. The homes are definitely defined so you just know where to put things.

I put a New Large Black Garbage can in my walk in closet and marked it Donations. I can get it and take it to the kitchen or any room or drawer and drop in anything I have not used in 6 months. It works so well for clothes that I no longer wear or just don’t want. I try 2 times a week to clean out a drawer or shelf. When it is full one of my daughter will take whats inside and add it to their yard sale. Everybody makes out!

I love this. The BEFORE picture shows a tray that is supposed to used for organizing but really doesn’t do the trick. The AFTER picture is a better method of keeping the whole drawer organized.
I must commit to doing something once per week. It’s time for Spring Cleaning and Organizing!

This is so true! All it takes it a little nudge to get started, and you’re off! (and your drawer looks fab!)

Great organising but that’s NOT the same drawer!
Where did you stash the pizza cutter and the cork screw?!
