I spent half the day cleaning and reorganizing my kitchen. That was after spending all day yesterday watching DIY vids on YouTube explaining how to organize in a way that makes sense. Moved the coffee station off the countertop to make room on very limited counterspace. (I have a small kitchen). I also cleaned out an under-the-counter cabinet, re-lined the shelving with Dollar Store contact paper, and threw out half the junk that had accumulated in there. Most of the good stuff I no longer wanted, I put in a cardboard box with a sign that read Help Yourself and then I set it out at the curb. An hour later the box was gone. No surprise there (hey, they stole my chrysanthemum plants out of the ground, remember?) I put an unused lamp on the floor to provide diffused lighting behind the shelf housing my coffee station, microwave, tea station, etc, and it gives the corner a soft glow. (I hate dark corners -- is that a fengshui thing?) Anyway, heres the new look... Next project: clean out / organize other under-the-counter-cabinet that houses plastic tupperware type food containers. Tip: The best food containers? To-go covered plates from Olive Garden. I use them over and over again when I fix meals and have enough left to make another meal. I stack em in my freezer. Each container makes an individual meal. Perfect!
