Order from Chaos

So, I’m sure you’ve all been clamoring over here to see my organization progress!!! *crickets* (OK…so maybe not…just humor me.)

Take a look at yesterday’s post for my fridge “before” photo. And look at it NOW!

WHOO-to-the-HOO!!! Ain’t it grand?!?! I took EVERYTHING out, including shelves and drawers. Typically I take out one shelf at a time, wash it, put it back, and put everything back on that shelf only tidier. Not this time! I decided to go outside the box, and repurposed all my drawers! You know that drawer that says “deli?” Well, I’m being a real rebel, and I am no longer keeping my deli items in there!! I know!!! Extreme, isn’t it?! But wait, there’s more! I’m no longer using my crisper drawer for fruits and veggies. I’m using it for leftover containers…imagine that!! All leftovers in the same place! No more fuzzy green containers forgotten and lost in the back! Why did I never think of this before??? And those new white plastic containers will help keep it all organized…easy in and out, easy to get to the things seldom used and tucked in the back! I am in love! I keep opening the door just to peek inside! Wanna see some more?! I know you do….

So then, I was on a real roll. I decided to tackle my cupboards too. Here’s the “before”:

And the “after”:

Again, I moved EVERYTHING. Nothing is in it’s usual spot, but it makes much more sense…well to me anyway. And I’m loving the containers! I can’t tell you how much packaging I got rid of…it was all taking up so much space and everything was precariously perched on top of everything else. I want to have a party just so I can show off my cupboards! πŸ˜‰

Next stop, the scary Tupperware cupboard. Stay tuned!

    Awesome job!! I for one, can appreciate this as I am so into being organized. I despise clutter of any kind. When we organized our kitchen (fridge, cabinets and pantry) life simply got easier. And, I’ve managed to keep it up for over a year now. When things are done right, it is very easy to maintain. Well done!!! πŸ™‚
