First of all, this cabinet is UNDER the built in oven. Every night I would have to get on my hands and knees to get to my pans. The second tip is to store your most used items where they can be easily accessed. I moved things that I only use a few times a year to this cabinet and moved OUT my pans. Then I stalked Pinterest and every other outlet for a solution that would work with MY cabinets. You know what…I found a simple baking sheet rack at The Home Depot for less than $10!! Check out that organization…

Tip #5

Now let’s talk about the kitchen command center. Our kitchen is a dropping spot for so many things. Back last year I got a paper organizer to try and keep everything organized. Welll…the paper was organized but so many things got dropped AROUND it…
BEFORE

I straightened everything up and cleared the clutter. The tip would be to create a “drop zone” for things like paper, mail, etc, etc, etc. It is easily staightened up occasionnally and things are {almost} always where I can find them. I also created this recipe organizer for some of this paper clutter.

I also took some recycled containers and made these great storage boxes. You can find a tutorial on how to make these by clicking here.

Tip #6

One last tip before I go, this one if for those pesky plastic containers and lids. Last year around this time I implemented a storage system and it has worked….for an entire year. You can find all the details on that one here. I feel like if something has worked that long, it is tested and approved! 
I hope you have enjoyed these kitchen organizing ideas and maybe they will help you to clear the clutter and get your kitchen organized!

Do images on Pinterest stress you out because they seem more like a fairy tale than something you can actually achieve?

Don’t fall into that pretty and perfect trap. You can get clutter-free and organized without living a fairy tale life.

No one knows this better than my friend Hilary! She has an entire course for sale that is dedicated to real-life organization ideas. I love that her approach works for any family with any budget.

My favorite part of this course is that Hilary strives to make your home easier to clean-up, so that it takes only minutes, instead of hours. Who couldn’t use more time and less cleaning?

Plus the system can make your house look fairly put together most times of the day. See for yourself with this course!
