“The place life happens”

Last week I decided to tackle another “Declutter” project. I have already shared my Declutter the Desk project and my Pantry Organization.

Now it was time to tackle the kitchen corner cabinet - do you have one of those? It is amazing how much stuff you can fit into one!

When you open the cabinet door and look in - it really doesn’t look that bad, does it? Not totally organized but nothing falls out on you!

Well, I started pulling things out and I felt like I was reaching into Mary Poppin’s carpet bag - things just kept coming and coming and coming! I ended up with this pile on my counter.

Yikes! Yes - all of that came out of that small corner cabinet.

An assortment of all kinds of different rubber/plastic containers. I think there was about 5-6 lids for every one storage container - what happened to all the bottoms???

I decided to get rid of all the storage containers I had - yes, all of them and start over. I made a donation to Goodwill and bought a new box of disposable storage containers from Ziploc - love those things. I also found a really cool food storage container organizer at The Container Store. It wouldn’t fit in my corner cabinet so I had to clean out one of the bottom cabinets for it to fit into. I love it!

My corner cabinet now looks like this….

It is now the perfect home for my food processor, and a few other kitchen tools I use all the time. Now really - how many storage containers does one person need? Have you counted how many you have recently?

What declutter project have you tackled lately? I am onto my master bedroom and what lurks under the bed!! Scary!

I’ve just this week been thinking I need to RE-declutter that darn corner cabinet! I did it last summer and I swear the stuff in there propagates overnight! I’ll do it sometime this week and post it on MY blog! Thanks for the inspiration!

You are definitely inspiring to me! I just did this last week! Maybe now I will move on to my bedroom, yikes!

LOVE, love, love the new look!

Thanks for the inspiration… I was looking for a small project my youngest and I could do this morning… Off we go to declutter the container cabinet… By the way, if you watch Costco you can get the ziploc containers in a value pack!!

Beautiful job, the container you purchased is brilliant!!

I, too, am thrilled with the new Ziploc storage containers!
Beautiful granite counter tops in the picture!

. . . or is it a marble counter top?

I had a similar experience recently with my childrens’ toys. I saw these great 5litre plastic containers that were really cheap and immediately grabbed some for a tidy-up during the school holidays.

It gives me such a feeling of achievement to look across from my desk and see them neatly filled, labelled and stacked on the bookshelf. Plus it gave me something new to post about.

~Now I just need to find somewhere new for the books!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
