Pantry

Next, let’s declutter your panty. You will also need to sort through the food that is in your pantry to see what is expired or things that you no longer want.

This is also the case for your furry friends too. Check your pet food and dry food to make sure these are things that can be eaten. If the answer is yes and then keep it. What if these are food I don’t like or my pet doesn’t eat anymore and it happens to not be expired then donate it.

Foods that are still good and not expired should be donated whether if it is pet food or human food. Another option is to try offering it to friends and family members. If they don’t want it, you can always donate it to a local food bank or the donation section of your grocery store.

One of my favourite projects, was when I actually created a panty using a wardrobe that I bought from IKEA and did awesome pantry organizing to it. If you wanna see what my pantry looks like you can check that out right here.

Cabinets

Cabinets are the worst sometimes. Am I wrong? It’s the area where containers and lids go to lost all the time. I mean where do they go? It’s one of those missing item cases that just never get solved around the house and sits along with the stack of missing sock cases.

Well, I have a solution for those containers without lids and lids without containers and that solution is that they must go!

Use these containers and upcycle them into alternative storage containers to hold things like medicine accessories, coins, buttons and push pins. If you have a medicine cabinet in your kitchen then you also need to throw away expired medicine, pills, and vitamins.

Don’t forget to RECYCLE/DONATE:

• Random containers
• Old jars
• Extra unused coffee mugs
• Unused plates that you have collected.

Mugs are a huge issue in my home. Geesh, my mom collects mugs and I am constantly hoping one would just casual fall to its death. Dramatic I know, but it takes up so much space in our small apartment. If you have a mug collector in your home, you know what I am talking about. I would like a little space for my four mugs too.

Now, if the plate or mug is a momentum of some sort, don’t keep it a cabinet. The best thing to do for these types of keepsakes is to find a wall or display cabinet in your home to store it.

Drawers

Can you open your drawers? If it feels like you are lost when you are trying to find the most simple thing in your kitchen drawer, then it is time to tackle it.

You have to be tough when it comes to deciding on what you really need in your kitchen drawers. As much as you think you need everything, you actually don’t. How often do you actually use each and every utensil? Not as often as you think.

When I am home, I ask my mom if it has been there for two-plus years and if it has then it is pretty clear she is never going to use it or else she would have by now. Donate!

• Don’t throw all those takeout cutely, plastic forks, knives, spoons, and chopsticks into our drawers. Use up the ones you have by using them when you bring your lunch to work or else replace them with reusable ones.
• All those knives, placemats, napkins and/or tablecloths that are not being used can be donated.

Another hassle in the kitchen is plastic bags. I like to have eco-friendly bags instead, however, it is easy to forget so for my family I decided to upcycle it into an awesome pillow. It is perfect for outdoor patios.

Counters

Do you have a spot in your kitchen where you just throw everything in? Most time it’s a drawer, but it can also be one section of your counter as well. This is a spot where you throw your old recipe books, old calendars, and old plants at along with your keys. Well, everything but your keys needs to go.
