I've organized my kitchen cabinets three times in the last year (two moves, re-did some of the second move) and when you finally get it right and get the flow going, it's so great! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-53073295043751474832016-08-08T21:04:29.206-05:002016-08-08T21:04:29.206-05:00Oh that is so funny about Paco needing an audience...Oh that is so funny about Paco needing an audience.

I know you're not supposed to do that, but when I look at a set of bowls and remember who gave them to me at my bridal shower, how would I ever purge them? Not that I want to, anyway...I just need for most stuff to have a proper place.<br /><br />Dog food is in a cute mini trash can in my office.

Nowadays I'm pretty careful about buying anything new. I like those hanging shelf racks--I will keep those in mind for the future. I know exactly what you mean about the despair in the middle, but don't you feel great with a new kitchen?! It looks fantastic. LOL on Jeff getting lost in the kitchen. P.S.

Terry thought I was nuts for spending so much time unpacking and organizing the kitchen, but I spend so much time in there that I wanted it just right. It's amazing how good it feels to be able to find things! :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-52278788647701758252016-08-08T08:24:05.447-05:002016-08-08T08:24:05.447-05:00I have reached the point where I've stopped bu...I have reached the point where I've stopped buying gadgets because I no longer have anywhere to store them. My kitchen doesn't really have much flexibility and I'm already using 3 huge shelves in the garage for stuff we use but not every day (i.e. the George Foreman grill, the Crockpot, etc.).<br /><br />Even as I read this and kept thinking what great changes you made, I thought of my kitchen and well, all the cabinets are the same so I think I've just confirmed there's no helping it. <br /><br />But yours looks great!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-54945325967908483562016-08-08T07:06:03.279-05:002016-08-08T07:06:03.279-05:00I'm telling you, just looking at it from a dif...I'm telling you, just looking at it from a different perspective is really helpful...can't wait to hear what you end up doing!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-66868976851344901142016-08-08T06:55:05.802-05:002016-08-08T06:55:05.802-05:00Wow looks great!

But all my spices and oils are in an upper cabinet and I keep them in baskets but it's always searching in which basket which is. Now I'm thinking of moving everything from that cabinet to the corner cabinet. Maybe I can use a drawer cabinet for my pans and move stuff from there to the upper cabinet. I am going to look into this because it is a great idea, it only has to fit in my kitchen.<br /><br />Thanks for the idea!
