Decluttering my kitchen took me a bit longer than a month because well life… Below I will share with you the before and after and also include where I purchased everything
Under the sink
It was very important for this space to be neatly organized and clutter free because I use some of these items daily. I also had stuff in there like bug sprays that we rarely ever used so I moved them to the garage.
Not that its organized all of the visible plumbing is driving me nuts, but I will eventually find a way to hide it.
Cabinets
Above the stove
I decided to keep all of my large bowls I use for food prep up here since I don’t use these on a daily basis they don’t bother me being up high. Plus I have a step stool I Keep in the kitchen that is very accessible.
Above the Oven
Up there I decided to keep all of my serving dishes and all of my baking dishes. We don’t have people over beryls much so out serving dishes don’t get use that often which is why I have them up so high.
I also kept some recipe books and miscellaneous books up there as well. I had them out in the living but I felt like it made the space look cluttered so I decided to neatly pile them in the cabinet.
Next to the Fridge
Tupperware
I had so many of them that I wasn’t using, so I got rid of all of those. Since I am trying to transition to using glass instead of plastic I got this glass Tupperware set. So far I really like it but once I test it out longer I will l decide if I will purchase another set or not. They also sell them individually.
Mugs
I have a lot of mugs, I really don’t need all of those but they make me happy. So I got rid of the ones that I did not care for.
In this same cabinets I put Aiden’s bottles, as well as the dogs extra treats at the top in a Large white bins .
Mason Jars
Yes I have a whole cabinet dedicated for mason jars, don’t judge me… In my defense I use mason jars for EVERYTHING. Not just for food even for storing items.
To store my to go coffee cups and some other cups I purchased these clear stackable wine racks, I decided to get the individual ones so I can stack them however I wanted
If you are wondering what that colorful rice at the top is, I use for sensory play for Aiden.
Pots & Pans
I pretty much got rid of everything I haven’t used in over a year. I used this pot lid organizer to organize my baking pans, you save lots of space having them stand up.
Spice Cabinets
First let’s talk about why I have so many spices??? Why?? It’s safe to say I was a spice hoarder, I threw away more than half of these spices. Some of them I haven’t used in over 3 years and of course they were expired.
Here is a close up f the spices
I still feel like I have way to many spices, but I will reevaluate in a few months
If you are a tea drinker you definitely need this tea organizer.
This lazy Susan is awesome to organize your cabinets I have no idea why I did not think of adding it sooner. Will probably be adding a couple to our fridge

DRAWERS
Junk Drawer
There was lots of junk and now not so much junk, the end! I basically threw away everything I didn’t even remember I had in there.
Under the oven
I originally had all of my pans in this drawer but I realized it was such wasted space. so I moved them by the pots and pans, and used this drawer for all the cleaning extras.
Mail Sorting Area
This was a disaster area, this is where pretty much everything got dumped, especially bills and important papers and coupons. The solution? I got an expandable file folder, I went with white so it wouldn’t look cluttered.
And look at the side of the fridge! So much clutter, but that’s all gone now!

- Fridge Clip magnet
- Clear Bin in Cabinet

The Pantry
I am honestly not 100% satisfied with the way it turned out but it looks way better than it did before. One thing I did differently this time is moving the can goods to the rolling carts because my shelves were starting to come apart because they are so heavy.
Also if you don’t own rolling carts you NEED ONE or FIVE of them! these things are AMAZING
Storage containers with bamboo lids (the exacts ones I have may have been discontinued because they are pretty pricey on amazon), similar one here
Overall I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.
