Kitchen Organization for your Cutlery Drawer

Recently, we talked about how to organize your kitchen cabinets. While I talked about the whole process of organizing cabinets, I went through my own kitchen and reworked my own cabinets. I noticed in the process that there was a lot more to do in my kitchen organization adventure if I was going to practice what I preach. One of those things that got added to my to-do list instantly was to organize my cutlery drawers.

 

I have two cutlery drawers. One is clearly for forks, knives, and spoons because it has smaller cutouts in the built-in drawer organizer. The other one is more open and it’s for things like mixing spoons, ladles, straws, chopsticks, knives, spatulas, and so on. This seems pretty simple to keep organized, and for me it is, but for my significant other, it’s easy to get confused. We also run into the problem that the more open drawer tends to get over-stuffed while the other drawer stays fairly empty. Something had to change.

kitchen organization

Here are the steps I went through for the cutlery drawer chapter of my kitchen organization journey.

 

  1. Declutter

    Are you sick of this word yet? I keep bringing it up because often times, the root of our organization problems are with simply having too much stuff. There’s a point that comes where you simply can’t out-organize a surplus of items. And when it comes to utilities like in the kitchen with things like spatulas, mixing spoons, fruit & vegetable peelers, and the like, it’s hard to think of something as needing to be thrown away when it clearly has a use.

    I’m not saying you should throw away things you need, or you use. However, the idea behinddecluttering in the kitchen is behind surplus. I have three mixing spoons and 4 spatulas, for example. Will there ever be a time where I need to use all 4 spatulas at once? Doubtful. So, it’s fair then to part ways with at least two of them. Keeping things “just in case” is not a good idea in general if you want to be good at kitchen organization or have a neat, organized home at all.

    So, part ways with things that you don’t actually need that quantity of. Take stock of what you have and what you think you’ll really need. Don’t keep things “just in case” if you haven’t used them in the past year. I have two whole frosting tip kits with bags and I haven’t used them since I got them a few years ago. They have to go!

  2. Divide

    Separate your items based on type. We all have flat utensils, cooking utensils, preparation utensils, and then a miscellaneous array of items that take up residence in our utensil drawers. This will be a great time to take stock of what you have and see if there’s more for you to weed out during the declutter phase.

    The flat utensils will be anything that you eat with. That includes forks, butter knives, and spoons. That’s pretty standard. The cooking utensils are things that you actively use while cooking. So, that’ll be your spatulas, your ladles, and so on. Then we have the preparation utensils. That covers things like whisks, peelers, mixing spoons, meat tenderizers, and that kind of stuff. The miscellaneous type of items in our utensil drawers are usually the best place to start with looking to declutter.
    In my drawers, I had a lot of miscellaneous stuff. This was stuff that didn’t quite fit with the other categories of items. I had single-use chopsticks, individually wrapped plastic forks, plastic straws (disposable and re-usable), and a bunch of stuff like that. Normally I’d say to just use these things and get rid of them, but they’ve been sitting there since I moved into this apartment. So, clearly, they weren’t going to be put to use anytime soon. Into the garbage they go!

  3. Conquer

    The last step here is to put everything back in its rightful place. It’s a lot easier to fit everything where it goes when there’s less of it. That makes sense for everything regarding kitchen organization. Our kitchens just become havens for collecting too much stuff. It makes it hard to use the kitchen for its intended purpose of food preparation and cooking.

    I didn’t rearrange anything for this. Everything already had its designated place based on the built-in drawer organizers that my kitchen drawers have. However, I did add a little extra something this time. I labeled every slot for what it’s intended recipient is. I have “forks”, “knives”, “spoons”, and “straws” in the smaller drawer. In the bigger drawer I have “cooking utensils” and “prep utensils”. Now I just have to teach the other members of my house the difference between cooking utensils and preparation utensils, and we’ll be good! This will help make sure that these drawers stay organized, as everything will be put back in the right place.

When Kitchen Organization Isn’t So Simple

I’m lucky that my home was built with an ultra-modern kitchen in mind. The thing about modernism is that it’s based around utility. As such, I have a designated spice rack in one cabinet, two drawers with built-in organizers for utensils, a drying rack for dishes, and other modern utility features that makes keeping my kitchen clean and tidy an easier task. It also makes kitchen organization a cinch. But not every kitchen is like mine, and I feel like we need to touch upon that a bit before we close this week’s blog off and enjoy our weekends.

I believe that every kitchen should employ some modern utility into it. Frankly, I don’t feel that true organization is possible without using at least some of the options that are now available widely for kitchen organization. Here are some things that you can incorporate into your kitchen cheaply. They’ll help make your kitchen organization a lot easier and a lot more practical.

 

Drawer Organizers

This one’s a no-brainer. Nobody wants an open-concept utility drawer where you have to fish around for a spoon in the dark when you want a midnight bowl of cereal! It’s easier to know where the spoons are, grab one, and be on your way. Right?

Drawer organizers aren’t just cheap and easy to find, but they’re also super simple to make yourself. There are plenty of resources online for making your own drawer organizers for the kitchen utensil drawers in your home. Or you can just buy one. Whichever style fits better for you is totally fine!

Knife Blocks

Knife blocks changed my kitchen game completely. Before I splurged on a nice knife block, I would have to go on a scavenger hunt for the right knife all over the kitchen. I’d check the utensil drawer, the dishwasher, the drying rack, the cabinets, the sink… everywhere. But I swear, the knives love to play hide and seek in my house. Knife blocks made it super easy to find the knife I need at the moment in an instant. They also look really nice on the counter.

If a traditional knife block isn’t your style, there are also magnetic strips you can install on the backdrop of your kitchen. The knives will stick to the magnetic strips and be on display. This is very industrial-chef chic. Both options work great!

Countertop Storage

Last but not least here, I want to pay an honorable mention to countertop storage options for kitchen utensils. I don’t personally have this in my kitchen but growing up both my mom and my grandmother did this. It’s something I’ve always wanted to incorporate into my own kitchen. But my cooking and prep utensils don’t match, so I don’t think it’d look quite as nice. My birthday is coming up though… hmmm…

Countertop storage is a way to store those pesky large and long cooking and prep utensils that don’t quite fit right in a drawer. It’s perfect for things like soup ladles, whisks, and tenderizers. When done right, it also looks really nice. I recommend doing this with matching utensils for best aesthetic results. But if looks aren’t what you prioritize, that’s fine. Because this option is also extremely practical and makes cooking that much easier and quicker. I love this option and I think you will too!

Kitchen Organization – How to Organize Your Kitchen Cabinets

What makes you happy about your kitchen? For me, my favorite features that my kitchen has are the flat stove and wealth of cabinet space. We moved from a smaller student apartment that we lived in when one of us went back to school into a bigger, more spacious apartment. This was a fantastic upgrade. But there was a problem: we didn’t have enough stuff to fill out all of our cabinets, including the ones in the kitchen! When you don’t have a lot of stuff to fill your storage space, it can become a problem that people think only happens when you have too much stuff. It becomes a mess and things get easily misplaced. As such, my kitchen organization was pretty deplorable. Just look for yourself!

My Cringey Kitchen

The photo above is of two of my own kitchen cabinets before I started my kitchen organization. I named the cabinet on the left the “miscellaneous cabinet” because it has everything from coffee to mail in it. The one on the right is a ingredient/spice cabinet for spices that didn’t fit in the center cabinet (a cabinet dedicated for spices) and random sauces, ingredients, and cooking supplies. I didn’t include the center cabinet in this because it’s actually pretty nice looking already because I changed most of our spices into matching cute little spice jars when we moved. Yeah. It’s a mess. I know. With cabinets like these, we never know where things are located. Things are always moving around, too, because nothing really has a “home”.

 

Now, this photo on the right is my most frustrating cabinet. It’s my food cabinet. There’s dry and non-perishable goods in this cabinet as well as baking ingredients and seeds. The problem with it largely is that I can’t reach some of the ingredients on the higher shelves and that I have to pull them all out to get to some. Also, things spill or fall a lot in the bottom shelf. We have to cram pasta in on the right to get it to stay. Otherwise, it falls out. Yikes.

 

 

Solving The Kitchen Organization Problem

Second to function, we all want a kitchen that looks good. But doing one often results in doing both. So, that’s what I’m going to teach you how to do while demonstrating using my own kitchen. Let’s take it piece by piece.

kitchen organization

Declutter

When organizing anything, especially kitchen organization because food expires, the first step is decluttering. In this situation, I sorted through old mail, tea, coffee, spices, and food that had expired. I threw out any trash and empty containers there were. I refilled my plastic ingredients containers with flour and coc

oa packages that I had from the store, as well. All in all, there wasn’t a ton for me to throw away. But what I did manage to throw away freed up some room which allowed me to have some extra space in my dry goods cabinet pictured on the left here and allowed me to take a shelf out so I could fit my tall mail organizers pictured later in the article.

Repackaging

One important part of my kitchen organization that I had employed even before cleaning up my cabinets was repackaging things. Repackaging is always a great tip for the kitchen and bathroom because original packaging that comes with our products and food/ingredients can be pretty bulky and make it actually harder for us to find things. So, I didn’t have much to repackage myself because it was already done. But I do recommend repackaging your dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and seeds because they keep their properties much better in a moisture-free air-tight container.

Organizers

I already had three organizers in action in my kitchen cabinets. I had a jar for dog treats, a jar for pens, pencils, and markers, and a box for tea and individual packages of coffee and hot chocolate. However, one that I desperately needed to incorporate into my cabinets was the mail organizer. There’s one for new mail and one for old mail. Mail always piles up for us. We just aren’t great at throwing it away when we’re done with it. At least this way, we wont ever have to worry about accidentally throwing something new away that we needed to keep.

Putting It All Back

Now that you’ve decluttered and have all of your containers and organizers, it’s time to take on the final step of kitchen organizing closets edition. And that step is putting it all away. The key here is keeping like with like. Put things together that are of the same kind. For example, I keep my tea and hot chocolate together because they’re similar in that they both get brewed with hot water. I keep my dry ingredients together because I often have to use them at the same time. I keep my spices together. And I keep my pasta and rice together. You get the point.

The other important aspect of organizing your cabinets is to keep things ordered according to priority. So, while I do bake a lot, I use things like salt and pepper more. So, the salt and pepper are on the bottom shelf where they are most accessible. The shelf on top holds gluten alternative flours because I don’t bake with them as often. See what I mean? It makes it a lot easier to access things in your kitchen. It also makes it easier to put things away and keep it clean.

 

kitchen organization

With all this said, you can be well on your way to creating a kitchen cabinet environment that is both functional and nice to look at. The steps are really similar to that we employed last week when we organized our bathroom storage spaces. It makes cooking and snacking a heck of a lot easier to have everything you need easy to find and within reach, as well. All in all, it took me about twenty minutes to do all of this and I feel like it made a world of difference in the kitchen organization front. So, what do you think? Is it time to tackle your own kitchen cabinets?

Bathroom Storage Cabinet – How to Organize Your Bathroom

I have a love-hate relationship with my bathroom. On one hand, it’s a brand new and beautifully modern bathroom. But on the other, I honestly don’t know what to do with my bathroom storage space. I have this giant linen closet, a spacious medicine cabinet, and a cabinet under the sink. This is a stark difference to the last place I lived where the bathroom had 0 storage built in. But the result of both is the same: there’s clutter.

Whether your bathroom is ripe with bathroom storage options like mine, or you’re lacking in the storage space department, we’re going to figure out how to tackle that messy and disorganized bathroom together!

 

Why does having an organized bathroom even matter?

 I’m glad you asked, because I was wondering the same at first. I mean, my bathroom may not be the most organized and Martha Stewart Magazine-worthy, but I can find what I need. Plus, it’s all hidden behind closed doors anyway, so it’s not like anybody sees it! So, what gives?

This question is why my bathroom was the last frontier of my organization overhaul when I decided to get my own home in order. And I finally figured it out once the rest of my organization ducks were in a row. You see, when you have things tidy and organized and lookin’ good, it feels good. It stressed me out knowing that my bathroom was a hidden Narnia of chaos, and I didn’t even realize it.

We spend a lot of time in the bathroom. We should feel happy, light, and refreshed during that time. Not stressed out and chaotic. Plus, I got tired of shampoo bottles falling on my feet.

 

But First… 

Declutter. Decluttering is always the first step, and we’ve talked about it a lot in past blogs. So, if you’ve been keeping up with our organization adventures, you’re already well-versed in decluttering. If not, check out some of our past blogs that go more in-depth on the how-to and importance of decluttering. I recommend checking out our blog on organizing your closet. It has some great decluttering tips in it. For my bathroom storage, I threw away empty packages, expired medications, and things I haven’t used in over a year. Now, apply those tips to your bathroom storage and then we’re ready for the actual organizing part!

Speaking of which, I highly recommend removing all makeup products from your bathroom. Makeup should never be stored in the bathroom or any other moist environments because it can breed bacteria and mold that makes you sick and causes your skin to break out. It also can cause your makeup to expire quicker. Aside from that, storing your makeup in the bathroom also causes it to collect bacteria from the toilet. I know. Gross. I store my makeup in my bedroom.

Main Bathroom Storage 

For most bathrooms, the main bathroom storage spot is the medicine cabinet. This cabinet is often quite small and space is limited. So, you should limit the kind of items that you use that space for. The things we store there are medications (human and pet), vitamins, band aids, deodorant, hair and face cleaning/moisturizing products, mouth hygiene products, contact lenses and contact lens solution, and cotton swabs/pads.

Many people try to fit everything in there. They put in cleaning supplies, cosmetics, shower gels and shampoos, and all sorts of other odds and ends. While I understand that there may not be any other storage space in your bathroom, try to find other homes for these items and keep the things you store in your bathroom limited to the essentials.

It also helps to repackage some things and add in some mini storage options. In my medicine cabinet, I’ve taken cotton swabs out of their package and put them in a little wicker basket. I also store my hair combs, clips, and elastics in a slightly larger wicker basket. Aside from that, toothbrushes and band aids have been placed into some cute containers as well. This makes things easier to grab, keeps things neat, and looks nice.

The Linen Closet

Not everybody has a linen closet as one of their bathroom storage options, but if you do, it’s important to keep it limited to what it’s meant for. Otherwise, like mine did, it becomes a catch-all for random items. I had cleaning supplies, extra tooth brushes, lotions, and feminine hygiene products in there. There was also some laundry and a separate wire rack just for drying swimsuits. I was wasting space and needed to organize it better.

Here’s what it looked like before:

Bathroom Storage

And here’s what it looked like after I remade it into its original purpose. Before, I stored my extra towels in my bedroom closet. It makes much more sense and adds more convenience to have them stored in the bathroom where they belong.

Bathroom Storage

The Shower Shelf

Man, say that three times fast! Most bathrooms come equipped with a place to store shampoos, soaps, and shower gels. Mine has a two-shelf rack. There was a time where my in-shower bathroom storage was a mess. I had multiple different types of shampoos and conditioners, old and new razors, and various shower gels and face products. There are two options that I, and people like me, had: buy less things, or get more storage. I opted for the former because to be frank, there’s absolutely no need to have a million different products in the shower.

So, to have an organized shower/bath area, you have to find your truth. Do you need less, or do you need more storage? Only you can answer this question.

The Sink & Countertops

Okay. You saw above that I was definitely abusing my sink counter-space. I had hand wash, hair dye, a comb, a little bit of trash, and other stuff there. If I had a bigger counter space, I would probably fill it with things like hair products and cotton swabs too. But let me tell you why it’s super important to keep these open-air spaces as clear as possible…

When you flush the toilet, it creates a mist of bacteria (yes, including fecal bacteria) that gets all over everything in the bathroom that is out in the open. With sinks and faucets, this is impossible to prevent. You just have to stay on top of cleaning it regularly with disinfectant. If your countertops are covered in miscellaneous items, that’s a lot harder to do. Those items are getting dirty, and they’re going to transfer that bacteria to your skin and respiratory system. If you just gagged, good. I did too. Because the idea of that is disgusting.

Now, my sink space has only hand wash on it.

Maintaining Your Bathroom Storage

Once you’ve overhauled your bathroom storage spaces and made them into decluttered, organized, and aesthetically pleasing places, you have to take on the next step. That next step is maintaining that hard work that you’ve done. The good news is that after we declutter, keeping things tidy and organized gets a lot easier. You still have to keep a focus on your counter spaces being clean, your items being where they belong, and have an awareness of anything that should probably be thrown away over time (such as expired medication and vitamins). Once you master this habit of being aware, it’ll be super easy to stay organized. A clean bathroom is a happy bathroom!

Closet Organizer – Tips & Tricks for Keeping Your…

Even when the rest of my house was tip-top shape, my closet was a disaster. It was my catch-all. If I didn’t feel like folding or hanging laundry, I’d throw it in messily on the shelves. Also, if I had people coming over and didn’t have time to do a proper tidy up, I’d throw what was laying around (minus trash and dishes, of course) in the closet. Then if I didn’t know where something should go, where’d I put it? You guessed it. The closet. Eventually, I made like Eminem and said, “tonight, I’m cleanin’ out my closet.” That’s when I became the closet organizer in chief.

 

The Obvious Solution: An Actual Closet Organizer

 There are a billion and one (yes, exact count!) different closet organizers available on the market. There is the vinyl type that are cost-efficient and versatile like the ones used for storing wrapping paper, there are hanging racks, there are fabric shelves that hang, there are boxes and bins, there are different types of hangers, and there are entire closet systems designed to optimize your closet storage. For me and a lot of other closet-havers out there, these didn’t work.

For one reason or another, I felt that the conventional options for a closet organizer didn’t fit my needs. I didn’t have the space for many of them. And for the better options like the PAX wardrobes from IKEA, I didn’t have the money. I needed something else. However, if a closet organizer is your ideal solution, go for it! That’ll be a blog for another day!

Step One: Literally just rip everything out of there.

I approached this step like a barbarian first encountering delicious processed foods. I just went into it and ripped it apart. Everything that was in the closet was now on my bedroom floor. Once my closet was empty, I realized how much space and potential it really had. Honestly, I doubted whether I’d be able to have a nice closet. But once it was empty, I felt like I had a great opportunity to be my own closet organizer.

 

 

Step Two: Ravenclaw!

Much like in Harry Potter, I had to put on the sorting hat. It was time to weed through everything that was in there. I started by putting everything into piles based on what they were. So, there was a pile for clothes, shoes, accessories, holiday stuff, and then miscellaneous piles with smaller piles within.

Step Three: The Big Break-Up

Once things were sorted into piles, it was easy to go through each with a fine-toothed comb and decide what should stay and what shouldn’t. It was gone if: I hadn’t worn it in over a year, it didn’t fit, I didn’t like it anymore, or if I had no use for it. The only exception to this rule was regarding sentimental items. For this, as I’ve mentioned in other blogs, I limited myself to one box. Anything that I could fit in the box got to stay. That way, I can never get too out of hand with hoarding sentimental items.

Step Four: Preparing to put things away.

Before I could put everything back after I thinned out my closet residents, I had something I wanted to do. I let the Virgo in me take the wheel and took a trip to Target. There, I grabbed a whole new set of matching hangers. I also grabbed a few fabric bins. The bins would be for socks, underwear, and bras. The new hangers, I felt, just made my closet look a lot more uniform. I made sure to get some thinner ones (as opposed to the big thick plastic ones) to save some space.

These items aren’t necessary, but I felt that the fabric boxes especially were a big help with keeping my closet organized. They gave me a dedicated place to put things that didn’t fit well anywhere else. So, if you have that issue like I did, creating new places to store things is a great idea. That’s also where a dedicated closet organizer would help.

Step Five: Separating by Season

Where I live, summer and winter are night and day. Some of my wardrobe for spring and autumn time overlaps, but otherwise they can be completely separated. Since it was the beginning of summer when I did this, I took my long pants, sweats, cardigans, boots, and jackets and tucked them into a big plastic tub. Then, I relocated that tub to our storage space. A garage, basement, or attic would work great for this as well.

Step Six: Separate but Together

Okay. I swear this is the last time you’ll need to separate things. You should hang your clothes back up in your closet according to their type. This keeps a closet looking neater. It also gives you more space if you do it right. What I did was I started with dresses at the left, then I put in skirts and bottoms, then shirts. Since it was summer, there were no sweaters or anything to consider. But since the shirts and dresses were separate, there was a lot of room unde

r the shirts to put things. What can go here, you ask? Well, I did go the closet organizer route for this. Back to the store I went. This time, I went with a clear plastic shoe holder. That way I’d be able to see which pair I was looking for immediately.

Step Seven: Dealing with Accessories

As an adult person, I really should have a spot to store my accessories and keep them neat and clean… but I honestly stored them all together in an old glasses case until this day. With some extra hangers left, a great idea popped into my head. What I did was I cut a crack into the hanger itself. Then I slipped the bar into the hanger hole so that it would hang upside down. This left the hook totally exposed. On the hook I hung some of my light summer scarves (heavy winter scarves might be too heavy). I made another and hung my necklaces on it. It’s an easy, cheap, and super simple closet organizer!

 

 

With everything back in my closet, I felt like I could breathe better and deeper. It was such a massive relief to be able to open it and see cleanliness and organization. For a while, I was actually confused whenever I did open it. Whose closet is this? Where am I? This is not mine! It really was a treat to give this gift of an organized closet to myself… and I didn’t even need any big expensive closet organizer to do it! Now, I have room when I need it in there and I always have a dedicated place to put things. No longer is my closet a catch-all for random items. Eminem would be proud. I think…

Pantry Organization – Master Your Food Storage

Whether you’re one of the lucky ones who has a big ol’ walk-in pantry or you’re like me and resort to kitchen cabinets to store your non-perishables, we could all do with some better pantry organization. My pantry is always over-stocked. Whenever we grocery shop, it’s hard to resist the cheap bags of pasta and the need to buy more oats. I always buy things faster than I can eat them. That used to be a problem, but after organizing my pantry I found that it was easier to stop over-buying and made knowing what to cook for meals a lot easier. Pantry organization upped my cooking game! And my snack game… oops!

With everything in plain view, I always know what I have. I also always know just where to find it, what we need to buy more of, and to top it off: my pantry looks great and clean!

So, if you’re working with a big pantry or a little pantry and you’re just looking for some better pantry organization and efficiency, read on! These tips are for you!

 

Tips & Tricks for Better Pantry Organization

Pantry Doors

Our pantry, be it a closet, a big room, or a cabinet, has doors. This provides a previously unused space for more storage. You can add plastic shelves to the back of your pantry doors or screw individual containers to the back. Alternatively, for those with big doors, you can hang a shoe organizer back there and store everything from bags of pasta to tasty snacks! I don’t recommend storing canned goods on the back of the door or anything with a lot of weight behind it because it might bend the hinges.

Replace Containers

Things like cereal, oats, and chips would benefit from being transitioned from their original container into a uniformly sized plastic or glass container. This makes your dry goods more easy to stack. It also looks a lot better than seeing the labels. Plus, you can see exactly how much is left because the containers are clear.

Pantry Organization & Food Storage

Canned Goods

If you can’t store canned goods on the back of the door, where should you store them? Well, here’s an idea! Grab some magazine holders. They’re the perfect size to stack cans on their sides. You’ll fit a lot more in your pantry without needing to constantly pick them up off the ground after they roll off the shelf onto your toes. Ouch!

Snacks

Snacks come in all different shape and sizes. But one thing they often have in common is that little oblong hole in the top of their packaging. This hole is used at the grocery store, so they can be displayed on a hanging display. How do you store those? Well, take a page out of the grocery store’s book! All you need to get to make your own hanging display is a skinny wooden board, glue, and curtain clips. It’s an easy project that takes only an hour or two and it makes storing snacks super easy.

Pantry Organization & Food Storage

Use Labels

with the crates. That way you can store taller items there. Then when you want to get them, you can easily pull them out into the light. This is also great for bulk items and items that are heavy.Labels make a pantry look neater, more fun, and allow you to make changes as necessary. They’re a great addition to pantry organization! Labels will allow you to find exactly what you’re looking for instantly and you won’t have to look at a mess of clashing labels. You can use any kind of style or font. You can also use markers that will wash off in the dish washer. That way, you can write directly on your container. Then, when you want to change it, just pop it in the dish washer!

Spices

Something that has always bugged me about pantry organization is that my spice jars come in all different sizes and shapes. I originally rectified this by moving them all to matching containers. But then I discovered the idea of using drawer organizers made of wire to organize them. Simply screw these wire organizers to the wall and create a shelf of them on the wall. Your spices will be really well organized and will be easy to find!

Use a Lazy Susan

Heck, use two! Lazy Susans are meant to make corner space that is otherwise hard to use into functional, practical space. Stick them in the corners of your pantry, or mini ones in your cabinet, and you’ll have easier access to your food items!

Wheeled CratePantry Organization & Food Storage

The bottom shelves of the pantry are hard to reach and inconvenient. I end up losing things sometimes because I simply forget that they’re there. Instead of having shelving there, you can put some crates on wheels and replace your drawers

 

Use Baskets

These tips are all great. But the easiest way you can your pantry is by using baskets. You can get baskets that fit your taste. Simply put them on your shelves and fill them with like items. It’s easy to do, cheap, and looks great!

 

With these quick and easy tips, your pantry will go from mess to magic! Some of these tips take longer than others, but even the more work-intensive ones are worth the effort. Your pantry gets a lot of use. Do yourself a favor and re-organize it! Organization is a gift you give yourself. That includes pantry organization!
