Getting Organized Part 2

Yesterday was certainly a productive day, or at least it seemed that way to me.  I continued on with organizing in my kitchen.  The problem is, that once you start organizing you can't just stop there, you have to clean, which takes forever...

As you can see I love baskets and bins to keep things a little more organized

More coffee supplies... and the ugly coffee maker that only comes out when my Keurig goes on the fritz or I have a full pot to brew, I keep saying I'm going to buy a nicer looking one, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of one that was free to me and only gets used every once in a while.  Do you have appliances like that?  I bet you do.

I know it doesn't look like I did much but I did some purging, now all I need to do is make it look pretty somehow, any creative ideas?

I love it when everything fits perfectly in one drawer, it doesn't happen often

 When we remodeled the kitchen I asked to have these pull-out drawers put in for my pots and pans, I sure wish I would have put more of them in, I absolutely love them

 I've also been wanting some new pots and pans that look pretty and are actually matching, unlike mine.  But for the little amount of cooking I do, it isn't really that necessary (as my husband would say) and he would be right.  He would however buy them for me himself if he thought it would motivate me to cook more. 

I should get rid of a few more things out of this drawer, baby steps...

 Some of these items get used about 2 times a year, any less than that and it had to go and I'm sure your laughing at me if you actually enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking.  I realized a long time ago that it wasn't so much the cooking I didn't like, it was the clean up.  Since it is just my husband and I in the house it has to be a pretty easy cleanup for me to take it on.  Otherwise by the time I am done cleaning up my food is cold and my husband has already eaten, I like to clean as I go...

 Extra coffee supplies (imagine that)

 Tea to offer my guests when they come, because I'm not much for tea myself.

Ok, I definitely need some new silverware. We have had this since we got married.

I also love these pull-out doors, wish I had at least one more.

I have got to go through our key situation again as you can see, but at least they are all in one place

 I can't believe I have room in this drawer now!  Won't take me long to fill it up

Wow, this part took forever.  But again I love the bins, they make it look so much nicer than it really is.  Oh and don't you love the stack of cookbooks that I have.  You know those don't get used much, when they are on a bottom shelf in a cupboard.

Believe it or not there is still more to do in the kitchen, but all for now.

I love that you are joining me on this journey.  My husband thinks it is embarrassing that I am showing our cupboards and drawers to the world, but If it motivates or speaks to just one other person,(I love your comments by the way) than I am excited. Not to mention that it keeps me motivated and accountable, which is the most important part.
