Mission Organization: the Kitchen
January 29, 2014A dear reader sent me these 2 great kitchen organizing tools she discovered and now uses at home. I was wowed!
The first are these cool acrylic drawer dividers:
The one thing that strikes me right away is how much silverware and utensils she’s able to keep neat and organized in a single drawer. Most of the time when you “organize”, it really just means cleaning out half of whatever you have. It’s not hard to keep very few utensils organized, but here she was able to keep it all and keep it neat. Profound, I say!
These clear acrylic dividers come in different lengths to fit your drawer. Then you can score and break them into the specific lengths that you need.
These organizers create so much more room in the drawer.
These stickey holders attach to the walls of the drawer to keep the inserts standing up. Aren’t these dividers brilliant?
Oh, and Martha Stewart uses them too. Just in case you wanted to know.
You can find them at Lifestyle Systems (scroll down for the Clear Acrylic Dividers).
The second item are these wicked cool spice holders for inside your cabinet doors.
Here they are in the Amazon photo above,
and here they are in Julie’s cabinet below:
You just snap the spices in the little holders and they are at the ready when you need them, saving valuable space in your cabinet. I’m a convert – I think these are awesome! You can find them at Amazon: Spice Rack Storage/Organizer
Julie, thanks for sharing your kitchen ideas with us! If you have some equally brilliant ideas, please send them along tout de suite.
