How often do you actually take everything out of your kitchen cabinets and disinfect the surface of each cabinet. Let's not even think about that... ewww! Today is a new start!! We are going to take everything OUT of kitchen cabinets, organize, throw, donate, disinfect, and put back. It sounds overwhelming, doesn't it? Give yourself a good couple of hours days! Put the kids down for naps and just GO FOR IT! :) Once you get going, it goes pretty fast! I promise.

entire messy kitchen on the internet for ALL to see!) Here we go!!

Seriously, this was soooo refreshing! I would consider myself an "organized person" before I even began this process. But going through this, I realized that I am not as organized as I thought I was. My goal is to KEEP IT THIS WAY!! :)

Your kitchen is an inspiration! So neat and tidy!
Have you heard of putting all your kitchen utensils in a box on the counter and then as you use them, you put them in a drawer. Everything left after a month in the box (besides holiday cookie cutters and the turkey baster) gets sent away.
Jeannie!! I absolutely love that idea! I think I just might have to use it in one of my upcoming posts! I'll give you credit, of course! ;)
All your cabinets look great now. Don't you just love all the extra space? I did my kitchen just a few months ago, but it could always use some tweeking. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday.
Wow your kitchen looks great, I am loving this organizing thing !!!
Thanks for the Organization Inspiration!
Looks great! Very impressive :)
Very inspirational! I am thinking about my kitchen sink area today. I have hand soap bottle, dish soap bottle and paper towel roll holder near the faucet.
Where do you store your sponge? near faucet? in a container? at bottom of sink?
Where do you store a bottle brush or other brush?
