Get Organized: The Kitchen!

Ahhhhhh… SPRING!  Open windows, kids playing outside, grilling, lawn mowing, flowers blooming… and housework gets put on hold.  After such a long winter, who wants to be inside?  Not me!  But when you do get the itch to start SPRING CLEANING, start with the kitchen!

If you’re like me, the kitchen is the key to me feeling in control or out of control.  It’s the room that gets the most attention and accumulates the most “stuff.”  Earlier I wrote about The Kitchen Countertop.  It’s a great place to start!  But if you’re ready to tackle the whole kitchen, Woman’s Day (April 1, 2010) has a great, short, simple 5-day plan for you and me!

Day 1: Move the Monsters
Day 2: Face the Madness
Day 3: Shop for Storage
Day 4: Create Stations
Day 5: Add Polish

I love it!  The best organizational tip I ever read and is still #1 for me is to clean and throw out BEFORE buying storage to help in organizing.  A basket is just another place to collect “stuff” unless it has a purpose.
