The Kitchen Organization is on...

Alright, I know I was supposed to have a post done about my closet organization project for last week... But, they (yes more than one closet in the works) are not done... It is turning out to be a bit of a bigger project then anticipated... But, the fruits of my labor will be enjoyed by all.... :O)

So on to this weeks organization projects... The Kitchen... I started with some drawers that were bugging me.. Every time I opened them things would shift and I could not find what I wanted. So, in came my new found friend... I am in L.O.V.E. with it... It is Duck brand cork peel and stick liner.. I found it at Lowes for like $9.99. Kind of pricey but if it helps the drawer problems then it is worth it to me... First I cleaned out the drawers real good and even vacuumed them. Then measured the size i needed and cut away.... The back has the grid on it so cutting was a breeze...
Now, you are going to want to apply this the same way as vinyl. Peel back just enough to get started and SMOOTH it out.

Start in the back. It is much easier that way. Just pull the back off as you go and keep SMOOTHING it down.


I cut this one a bit short on the side but that is alright by me.. When I put everything back in you will never even know... Unless I told you and well, I did so SHHHH! It's our little secret..
Know I forgot to take a picture before I took everything out of the drawer but here it is on the counter.. I know very messy counter.. Believe it or not that is the only messy counter I have... But enough on that...




Now I wanted to get some containers to put things in and keep them neat but I did not want to leave the house so I went on a hunt and came up with bread pans... I have a lot that I collected from the DI over the years and have not used the small and medium ones in a very long time.



Isn't she all pretty now? I can now find my measuring spoons right away... And the best part, when I close the drawer and open it up again... EVERYTHING stays in its place.... YEAH ME!!!



Here is the start on the drawer the kids are always in... Still using the bread pans...



Oh, the neatness....




Now the silverware drawer really bugged me... The container to hold all the silverware would slide to an angle every time it was opened... This just bugged me to no end. I needed to empty the dishwasher but chose to do this project instead...




See all better.. And I even emptied the dishwasher.. Now we all can eat again...
Now, this is just the beginning of what I have in store for the kitchen organization. I have much bigger and better things in store for it....
Until then... Have a great one...

I will be linking this to Traci over at Beneath My Heart on Friday for her organization party so head on over there then..

  3. Hi there, Margo!
    You have an adorable family! So blessed.
    You have done a great job organizing your drawers. I really need to do this too. And the cake pans are a great idea! I have a ton of those I could use. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for linking up to my party. :)
