Today’s challenge in the 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home series was to clean out and organize your kitchen cupboards.
Thankfully, I had recently done this a bit while cleaning the outsides of the cupboards, so it didn’t take me too long at all….
The pantry cupboard was a bit unorganized. I just lined up all the cans and boxes, and wiped out a few crumbs that were on the shelves. I find this cupboard a bit annoying because it is a corner cabinet, so you can’t really stack things in straight lines, and it is hard to find items in there. It always looks a mess too 🙁
Next, I worked on the cupboard where I keep all my staples…flour, sugar, spices, etc. I recently reorganized this cabinet as well, so it just needed a little sprucing up and wiping out of some salt and pepper that had spilled on the spice rack.
See, all better now!
Finally, I tackled the cupboards where I keep all the cups and plates. Again, they weren’t too bad…just needed a little bit of rearranging.
I did take out a few cups and plates that we don’t really use anymore, along with a bowl that had been a bit melted in the dishwasher. It was one of my son’s favorites, but since he was napping, he wouldn’t even know it went into the trash 🙂
As you can see, most of the items that I chose to get rid of today were old cups from the cupboards that we don’t use much anymore. I also found an old box of Splenda coffee creamers that had expired almost 2 years ago. They didn’t taste too good, so I guess that’s why they made it to the back of the cupboard!
I don’t know how the kitchen could look any better! Thanks so much Crystal 🙂
I am still working on mine. My pantry tooK a while this morning along with my cupboard I keep my baking items and spices. I got my pots and pans organized too. I only have my mixing bowls/casserole/baking dishes cupboard, all my plastic containers cupboard, and my dishes cupboard to do. I wish now I had a smaller kitchen. 😉
Looks like you got your done really nicely.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of work! I didn’t do my pots and pans or mixing bowls/baking dishes because I had done them not too long ago and I knew nothing needed to be thrown out from there. I will have to look at your blog post this afternoon and check your cupboards out 🙂
I really like your white plates and we have that same orange Woody sippy cup =)
Thanks Kelly! I think all my son’s sippy cups are Toy Story cups!
I only did my food cupboards – I totally missed the dishes – oh well. Maybe I’ll play catch up tomorrow.
Good job on the organization.
Thanks Cherilyn! The food cupboards are most important anyways 😉
