I have a rolling cart in the middle of my kitchen to serve as an island. I mainly use it to keep my mixer, blending stick and odds and ends in.
Well, this is what I have been looking at for about two weeks now -- YIKES....
This is in the center of my kitchen, so, you really can't miss it. Sometimes I think, if the top of my head was flat, I would stack stuff on it?! Anyway, I did take everything off and cleaned out my bread basket. I tossed stale and anything green out, and moved it to another area of my kitchen. I also cleaned the top off.
The drawer, is never out of order (imagine that). I just keep bag clips, seasonal sun catchers and measuring cups/spoons in it.
The bottom (behind closed doors) is another story. I started to take everything out before snapping a picture (I saved you from that). I did get rid of several things and relocated the bowls.
I put back the stuff I want to keep but seldom use in the bottom basket.
Just my mixer, blades and things I use all the time in the top basket.
This is much better. I was looking for that tenderizer not to long ago -- arrg.....
That was much better. The whole cart is organized.
Now, this picture shows the in and out box I found at my favorite thrift store. I use it to coral my store ads and coupons. Again, I am a piler , so, I had these piled up everywhere. Now that they have a home, I can pile until I am able to cut and file my coupon's. It will hold a few weeks worth without it being out of control. I only keep the current weeks grocery ads.
This is the sides of the cart. I hung a basket that holds my good dishes paper plates and the other side holds my husbands BBQ tools and pot holders.
That's it. I feel much better.
Happy Organizing!
Rhonda
