Project Declutter: Kitchen Cabinets

Day 16: Kitchen Cabinets

My toddler loves to play in my kitchen cabinets:

So they end up like this:

I thought this cabinet would be a good place to start decluttering, since it was already messy. As it turned out, I do use most of these pots and pans regularly. I did find space to add in my paper organizer. I’m not sure I like it better there than the counter space, but we’ll try it out for a few days.

I then moved on to the silverware drawer and made it look like this:

I also took out my cookbooks that were taking space in the kitchen cabinet (I’m keeping them downstairs, since my kitchen is small). I want to make more space on my counters, so I put the toaster in the cabinet where the cookbooks used to be (we only use it about twice a week or so) in this cabinet about the sink:

I bought some bins this week and I found the perfect place to use the first one. We had a bunch of coffee supplies that took up entire top shelf. Put it in a bin and then look how much more space we have!!

I love the progress I’m making in the kitchen!! This is all I had time for today, but I’m betting I can finish tomorrow!! What have you gotten rid of lately?
