How to ORGANIZE your Kitchen!

If you follow me on Instagram you know we had a fabulous weekend at the beach! It was my hubby’s first time on the sand in 15 years… so we had a complete blast! It’s Wednesday now so it’s back to the grind!

Which (for us) means back to unpacking! The hubby has developed a system for unloading the boxes… it goes like this: unpack all the boxes and put all the stuff EVERYWHERE! It’s actually a pretty good system… except that I’m suppose to be the second round hitter coming behind him and putting things away!

He just finished the living room and this week we are moving on to the kitchen… which means I need to get a kitchen game plan together quick!

So today I thought I would share all the fun kitchen organization tips and tricks I’ve found! Let’s see which ones make the final cut and appear in our bright green and red Christmas kitchen! Here’s the best tops I have on how to organize your kitchen!

I absolutely love hanging pots and pans over your kitchen island… I’ve just never had a kitchen quite big enough for a hanging pot rack! We have a little tiny island in our new kitchen so it might be a possibility! How nice would it be to free up some cabinet space?

Especially if the drawer space is as organized as this little drawer (also from the fabulous Martha Stewart… can’t you tell the first two pictures are from the first kitchen?) I love how each utensil has it’s own little space! No more rummaging through drawers for a measuring cup with this drawer organizer!

Talk about something I love… if I’ve already admitted that my measuring cups have never been organized you definitely don’t want to peek under our sinks! I’ve had my eyes on these adorable pull out drawer organizers for under our bathroom sinks… but our kitchen sinks definitely need the star treatment as well! Look at how she arranges those sponges! Fabulous! Now you want to see how the rest of her cabinets look… don’t you?

I know we’ve all seen the measuring cup on the back of your cabinet door trick…. but really does it ever get old? First of all we’re using wasted space… and second of all we now have our measuring cups right at our fingertips! Complete with conversion chart! Plus we’ve freed up space in our drawer for other thingy-ma-gigs! Sounds important!

Of course we can always use a pretty label! Especially if the label is on top of a gorgeous container! This gal uses dollar store containers to make her kitchen organized, pretty and cost effective! Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Of course there’s always my glass spice bottles… or my friend Charlene’s frugal spice cabinet makeover! Good chance these will be incorporated!

Whew! Just looking at all those organized kitchens makes me want to rush out to buy some dollar store containers and under cabinet pull out drawers to get started! I can already tell it’s going to be fabulous!
