Kitchen Organization

I was inspired by Organizing Junkie's monthly round-up; the theme for April is to clean out at least one closet or cupboard and then post before and after pictures. I've been meaning to tackle these projects for months; this was exactly the motivation I needed.

The first problem was a bottom kitchen drawer that holds all of Savannah's sippy cups. Over the years we've tried several different varieties, but the collection was becoming overwhelming:














So I got rid of all the ones we no longer use, and this is the final result:














The second project was a top kitchen cupboard that was supposed to be used for more baby items; specifically bottles, pumping supplies, and medications. However, over the last year or so, it became a catch-all for misc kitchen items and was jam-packed. You can probably see why I've been procrastinating with this project...it was overwhelming every time I opened the doors.



















It really only took about 30 min to sort through everything and decide what we'll really need with this new baby. I got rid of everything else. And the part I love best, is that there's room for any new supplies we may need in the future. Much better.

Looks so much like our drawers and cupboards! I just recently went through specifically the kid items in the kitchen and got rid of more than I thought I would. Sometimes we really just need the basics, huh?
