Organizing the Dreaded Kitchen Cabinet
Most of us have that one cabinet in the kitchen that always seems to be out of control?
A few simple organization tricks helped my tame the mess.
In an effort to tame the chaos (in my mind) during the holidays,
I like to find small problem areas around the house that I can work on a one at a time.
My kitchen cabinet next to my stove was one of those problems.
This is embarrassing to show.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a cabinet like this one.
It’s probably the most used cabinet in the kitchen and it showed.
With the help from my friends at Deflecto. (design team perks)
I got the kitchen cabinet project started. I asked Deflecto to send
me several of the medium caddy compartments*
from the Stackable Caddy Organizer* (yes, you can buy just the compartments)
The medium caddy compartments were the perfect length to fit inside my cabinet.
FYI…there are three sizes of compartments that fit into the stacking caddy organizer.
The first thing I did was to completely empty the cabinet and wipe it down.
I tossed all the outdated spices and discarded old medicines.
I put like items together for easy grab and go.
I removed the lids from a couple of the clear compartments to use with taller items.
I love that the compartments are stackable. That helps eliminates wasted cabinet space.
These really do come in handy when cooking.
Take it a step further in your organizing by labeling all the bins.
The finished kitchen cabinet all clean and tidy.
It’s been a few weeks since I reorganized the cabinet and thanks to my new organizing compartments it still looks great.
