Kitchen

[Dar321]

I'm almost done with my kitchen reno (what I could afford anyway) and I want to know some good kitchen organizing tips.  Also, some ideas on organizers to put in cupboards, that are helpful, and worth it!  Thanks for your help!

Anyone??

Nobody is up yet this morning, or they went to church.  Here is a hint that might be too late for you.  The woman that designed my kitchen at the building supply store put in sliding shelves on the bottom cupboards where the cooking pans and baking equipment go.  They've been a life saver as stooping and kneeling gets harder each year.

What I found usual and budget friencly were the drawer organziers for flatwear and cooking utensils. I also used ktchen canisters for the utensils that I grab most often. Lock & Lock containers can organize all sizes and items from twist ties to crackers. 

Coffe mugs can hold small cleaning items in those odd spaces if needed. 

Hope this helps.

Go to the search bar up top on the QVC screen and type in "kitchen organizers."  It gives 293 items, some of them look very handy.  I too am getting a kitchen remodel.  The new cabinets are just in boxes in our garage right now.  Hopefully they will be installed this coming week.  There is still a lot of other work that needs to be completed, but when I'm ready, I will revisit the "kitchen organizers" myself for helpers.  Enjoy your renovated

kitchen!

check out the container store for great ideas. I found a number of good pieces there.

A few years ago I purchased a three tiered shelf for spices.  One pulls out the drawer and it comes down to show 6 spices.  It is really nice since you can put it on higher shelf and see spices clearly.  I believe I got from QVC but have now  also seen elsewhere.

I had a kitchen reno done and replaced all bottom cabinets with "pot" drawers.  They hold more & easier to organize.

My upper cabinets I used these to gain more space.  (I love dishes so I have abundance🤔🙄).  My spice & baking cabinet is completely organized and use these shelf "steps" shown with glasses on them.  I bought most organizers at Bed Bath & Beyond or WM in the kitchen area.

I got those plate racks already posted and they really helped with utilizing space. 

I also will offer up the suggestion to just put less back into your kitchen as you refill the space. I tended to, and I think many people are the same, collect way more things than I was using. I scaled back on the pots and pans, keeping a variety of sizes, but a fraction of what was there before. Same for utensils, coffee mugs, glasses etc. 

We really didin't need as much as was stored in the area before the renovation, and have gotten on so much better on less. Has made working in the space much easier and more enjoyable. Is saving time, stress and work, by having less, and having exactly what's needed.

We are going to remodel our kitchen but are waiting due to covid. We don't even know who to hire to do the job yet.

I want cabinets with drawers for my pots, pans, pull out drawers for cutting boards, cookie sheets, racks etc.

With all my spices I need a pull out spice rack or drawer.

I think I might want some lower drawers for some dishes.

I don't know that we would be able to reach up when we are older?

Everything will be made so it's easy to get to. We are getting older & DH is tired of getting on the floor to get stuff out of lower cabinets. I don't know why he does not just bend over to get it out like I do?

I want a larger pantry so think I will have one put in the dining room since there's room in there. We don't use the dining room much anymore anyways.
