As mentioned yesterday with my Pantry Makeover post, I’m trying to get more organized in the New Year. So what room do I spend the most of my time in and need the most help with organization? THE KITCHEN.

kitchenThe easiest plan for me was to take photos of all my cabinet exteriors and mark on them in Photoshop what would go where. You could also do this with post it notes!

I decided to break up my kitchen into zones. The first zone was near the dishwasher, the perfect place for my dinnerware, drinkware and silverware… everything that I used on a daily basis.

The middle cabinet holds my corningware and bakeware, plus larger appliances like my crockpot. Then the right side cabinet holds all of my cookie sheets.

So, who’s up for the challenge to reorganize your kitchen in 2014?
Have you ever made a plan of attack on organizing before?

      It is easier to organize when you have a huge kitchen with lots of storage like the one shown in these pictures. How about those of us who have limited space. Do you have any ideas/plans for us?

        I understand. I had to go thru and cut down on pots and pans..and the ones not used, but didn’t want to give away yet – put in basement storage tubs. I went thru everything in the kitchen and gave away dish sets, etc. very hard to do, but once you start it gets easier. Also we had broom closet off the kitchen that my husband put in shelves and all the appliances are kept in there on shelves and the on the bottom are bins for recycling. I haven’t got yet…this is a work in progress!
