Declutter – Kitchen Cabinet

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 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!
