Wednesday Organization Frenzy

I don’t know what has gotten into me today?!?! I have been so productive!!! And I only had a small cup of coffee this morning with breakfast?!

Apparently, all my blog reading and Pinterest browsing has sparked an organizing frenzy today. Or maybe this is what happens when you keep Gnomes inside (check out my previous Gnome Obsession posts here and here), which if that is the case, I think I will be adding those gnomes that are sitting on my Amazon wishlist to the family!! 😉

Or maybe it is just that I have had enough of the clutter and unorganized state of things….

I started in the kitchen organizing some cabinets. I had ordered a bunch of acrylic containers and shelf organizers the other day in the prelude to my organization frenzy today.

I wasn’t really thinking this morning when I got started so there is only one before pic…but trust me all the cabinets and closets looked quite similar.

It’s not perfect…but I am much happier with the results!!

I need to order more acrylic containers and shelf organizers to really finish…but at least I made a dent in a few of the places in the kitchen that needed some of the most help! The shelf organizer gave me that little extra room I needed to be able to stack cans and small things in a much more organized way. Not to mention just emptying cabinets and wiping down shelves is probably something that should be done…occasionally, I suppose. 🙂

Then, I tackled these 2 closets that are on either side of the fireplace. It’s a little weird…the fireplace is the center of a sort of open-concept floor arrangement kitchen/dining room/living room area, with the stone fireplace on the living room side, but it is sort of walled around to the kitchen side. So these 2 closets are on either side and are not very deep (approximately the depth of a family size box of Cheerios…top shelf on left is all cereal boxes) but it provides some extra storage space for food on one side and cleaning supplies and pet supplies on the other side. Although I did not manage to get before photos…trust me these closets were a mess!!

I’m probably not going to win any organizational prizes but at least it is a start to getting my kitchen a little more organized!! Only about 15 more cabinets to go… 🙂

Thanks! Let’s hope the motivation sticks do I can get through the rest of the cabinets. Maybe you need a ‘motivating gnome’ 🙂

I’d love to do this in my house. I have kids around and by the time their asleep…I don’t have strength to do organize the house. I can do maybe 2-3. =) Great job.

Thanks! I don’t have kids…only a menagerie of animals and I can barely manage to get this done 🙂 Totally understand not having the strength at the end of the day…after working all day I rarely have the desire for a project!
