More Kitchen Organizing

I spent some time this week, looking back to last year's organization challenge, and I am happy to say that I have gotten much better.  My house is not outta control anymore.  It can however, use a little "tweaking".  Last week I showed you the improvement I made for my bills and paperwork.

I paid bills since then and the new system worked perfectly.  Things are all filed away, ready for next month.

Now, moving on to this week's organizing project.

I moved to the kitchen.  If you're new here and want to see the major kitchen renovation we've done over the years, you can check it all out here.

My cabinets just needed a little tidying up.  Nothing major there.  I'm still using the chalkboard menu and grocery list on my cabinet doors that I added last year.

I did need to clean out buffet turned island.

Things had gotten pretty rough in the drawers,

so I emptied them out and added a few plastic little dollar store boxes.

What a difference a little organization makes.

Another thing that needed some attention was my garbage can.

I took it out of its homemade roller and washed it inside and out.  Now it is all clean and fresh!

Holiday leftovers had taken over my refrigerator...Ughhhh....I hate a messy frig!!

Emptying everything out always helps me get it thoroughly cleaned.  Then, I pitched the leftovers and organized it so it will be easier to select healthy foods.

SOOOO much better!!!

My final task was to give my fancified canisters a good wipe down as well as the top of the refrigerator.

Canister Makeover

Now, my kitchen is clean, organized, and ready to start this new year!!

Blessings,
