Today has been one of those days… we didn’t get much school work done as I had an eye appointment this morning. After the eye appointment, I went to my Creative Memories lady’s house to pick up a few things (to the tune of 200+ dollars, YIKES). Then, we went to eat and picked up my middle one from his school early after getting a call from the nurse. Ick!
Anyway, I was sewing during the baby’s nap and decided I needed to get up and be a bit productive so I got busy on a couple more cabinets.
BEFORE:
Remember this one? I wasn’t even sure of what was in this cabinet. I found some after sun lotion that I put in the fridge, some tanning lotion that I took to my bathroom, a globe that goes over and old light (TRASH), and some Bingo dobbers (also trash as I haven’t been to Bingo in YEARS).
After cleaning it all out I found that I was able to put something in here that has been sitting on top of my fridge… driving me insane! 
AFTER:
That is so much better! Now, I can actually get to my appetizer plates without moving anything, the gumball machine is off my fridge, and the money miser that we only use occasionally is in the back.
Can you tell a difference? I did put things away out of here and threw away a bit, also. I wish I had more cabinets to keep things in, but they seem to do what I want as long as I don’t stash trash and junk in them.
BEFORE:
On this one, it is hard to see a difference, but I can feel it. My middle shelf is now basically snacks (which means I was able to get a couple bags of chips off my pantry floor. That is another project for another day!)
I found tons of napkins in this drawer that I threw away. I also found 2 Pyrex dishes I didn’t even know I had . I have moved them to my laundry room with my other glass bake ware, so maybe I will use them now. If I don’t, I know someone who is moving into their own home soon and I will pass these right along.
AFTER:
Can you tell? #1, I pulled the Pyrex dishes out of the right corner where they were hidden and was able to put my poinsettia plates in that space. Now, I don’t have to move the Christmas plates to get to the solid white plates. I was also able to stack my Christmas serving bowls with those plates, so that made more room.
Consequently, I was able to free basically that whole top, right, shelf for my serving dishes, clearing out the entire middle shelf for our snacks! That cleared out my bottom shelf, so I don’t have to move chips to get to my bread basket and my cutting boards! YAY! Much easier to handle.
Oh, I also corralled all those packs of cookies into some Tupperware. It is amazing how much less room they take up this way.
I can’t wait to hear about others’ Kitchen Cabinet Clean Outs!!
