I don't know about you, but when the new year rolls in, I am sooooo ready to send the Christmas decor packing! As much as I love Christmas, I get a twitch with all the clutter decorations that come out after about a week.
The area that I am currently focused on trying to get organized is my kitchen and pantry. That room drives me crazy! When we moved into this house, I was pregnant with baby number three and everything was just kind of thrown into a spot. It hasn't been properly organized since. Gee. I wonder why?! In our previous houses, I've always had a spot for everything and everything was in it's place. This house has turned me on my head! Wait...maybe it's not the house. Maybe that's just what having three kids (boys) does to you!
Anyhow, I went on a hunt for some inspiration. I've got to get this place whipped into shape. Clean counters and everything having a place out of sight if possible makes me so happy! For a long time I've stashed kitchen/pantry organization ideas into a "Dream" file to be used for building my dream home. I'm needing some direction so I pulled them out and went hunting for more. Want to see? I KNOW there are plenty of you out there who need to do a little organizing as much as I do, and dreaming never hurt anyone:)

I love the old blue Ball canning jars. I'm slowly building a collection to use as storage like the below picture.

There you go. Some of the organizational goodies that have caught my eye. Everyone has different needs, but these would make me a very happy girl:) Beware, though. You could go broke with all the cool gadgets out there!
Like what you see? Let me know by becoming a follower!
p.s. I'm such a goofball! I titled this wrong and posted it with a future post heading!
At least I caught it, right (wink, wink)?!
Lots of neat ideas! I almost scored one of those big glass canisters at a thrift the other day, then I realized the lid was warped (probably why it was there). If you need any of the vintage zinc tops with glass inserts for your ball jars let me know...I've got a dozen or so...:)
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of really great ideas here. I need to get so much stuff sorted and organized this year...and there are some ideas here that I can, and will, use. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMy cabinets are a total disaster. I'm bookmarking this post to hopefully serve as inspiration as soon as I get out of my pajamas (my yearly week long protest of getting back to routine after the holidays)

You're a girl after my own heart! Classy organization! I'm always inspired when I visit. I've got a new blog. Hope it inspires as well!
ReplyDeleteOH MY! I thought I was the only one with such wonderful ideas for my dream kitchen. Thanks so much for putting in photo form what I've thought of but didn't know if even existed. I will have to print this post and put it in my folder of kitchen ideas. IF I ever get to build that dream house, I can guarantee that even if I have to skimp in other areas, my kitchen is going to be one like no other when it comes to practicality and useability, not necessarily fancy. :-) I spend more time in there than in any other room and I've got to have it functional. HA!
