Back to Grace! Here's a kitchen with lots of expired food items and bulky appliances that go unused. The counterspace was cleared and the deep dark cabinet corners were cleaned out. Everything seems a lot fresher now!
Ahh yes, the junk drawer. Don't we all have one?? Now this drawer is not so junky, it has instead been organized to perfection!
We all love our Costco hauls... but when buying in bulk you must be careful of losing precious space. I recommend stacking things like paper towels, toilet paper, ziploc baggies, trash bags, etc. and removing the outerwrap so that it is easier to find things. We donated a large George Foreman grill, as well as a large wok, a few dishes/pans, and a broiler. These were unused items in Grace's home and now there is definitely more space here in this little cabinet.
Cleaning supplies bogging you down? I suggest sorting like with like and condensing half-used or semi-used products into one bottle to save space.
Quick! Think about how many bowls and cups you really use. Chances are there are some grimy ones in the back of your cabinets that don't get any love. Why not donate em and clear up some space??
You may ask, how did the cabinets end up looking like that? As you can see in the above picture, Grace's countertop collected many uneaten and expired items, which we of course threw away . The winner of the day? A soup can which expired in early 2007. As Grace's husband so eloquently put, "Say hello to botchu and his friend lism."
And that about does it for the kitchen! 5 hours was the perfect amount of time to declutter and refresh the space.
