The finished project.
This cabinet was always a disastrous mess. Baking sheets, pot lids, colander. Just a jumbled up mess. After over 30 years I thought maybe I should do something about it, so I bought these. I put them together and cleaned up the mess.
I then decided to reorganize the others that were in desperate need. Two were actually not in need.
It was simply a matter of pulling everything out and then putting it back with some sense of order. These last few years it seems I was relatively useless. I'm back or at least partially.
Today it's the cupboards. That rhubarb cake will need to wait. When one has intriguing assignments all else must wait.
I spy corningware. I have a similar stack, use them all the time. It's so nice to open a door and see exactly what's there without pawing through a jumble.
ReplyDeleteYes, Boud. I got the corningware as a wedding gift for my first marriage 54 years ago! It is so much better to have things in order.
DeleteBravo! Well done! It's such a good feeling to have accomplished a task like this, where you can see and enjoy the change!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, it sure is, Dreaming!
DeleteReally, really well done you! Excellent work. Do you go back and open and look in it when you walk past? That's what I do after I clean the fridge out and then the following morning, it's the first thing I open and look at.
ReplyDeleteYou caught me Ivy. I did that same thing the next day!!
DeleteLove that you have Corningware!
ReplyDeleteDo those black carts have shelves that pull out? If so, they must have been a pistol to put together--lol!
Everything looks great!! All organized. Makes the OCD side of me smile and smile...and dream of having that here. One day!
You have been getting so much done! Kudos, my friend. :) :)
Corningware and Pyrex abound here, Rita! Yes, the shelves do slide out and it was frustrating. Now the trick is to keep it this way.
DeleteCongratulations! That's worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteThank, Cheerful!
DeleteYou are something! Are you turning into the energy bunny?
ReplyDeleteI wish, Lori! My body is in revolt, so much bending. I did get the upper cupboards sorted. I can't think of the butler's pantry cabinetry right now. I think I'll be doing another purge. I did about six years ago and I don't think I used much of anything in there.
DeleteWe have a little kitchen that Sue somehow manages to keep in order although I need help finding things.
ReplyDeletePart of, but not all, the disorder started when Mark decided he would put dishes away. I am thankful for that so I just need to be more diligent about rearranging, AC.
DeleteWow! Your cupboards look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miss Merry.
DeleteLooking good! Those carts look awesome! I finally put all my plastic storage stuff and lids in a top drawer and sold the old dishes that were there...big improvement. I am lucky I have lots of drawers in my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI like the carts, Far Side. Lots of kitchen storage is a lucky thing. I need to decide what to do with my mother's china, it's in a box in my office!
DeleteNow that looks nice. It must be so satisfying to open the doors now!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Sue.
DeleteLooks great, I was doing some re-organizing also. Not drawers and cupboards but other things.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. You have more cupboards than I do, but you also are a better cook than I am!
It looks well organized.
You've made some good changes in your space. You put those useful cabinets together. You love to hike, I like to cook, Val!
DeleteEverything looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane.
DeleteVery impressive! Well done. I have some of those Corning Ware too. They were my Moms.
ReplyDeleteI wish I would follow your lead.
Take Care,
Kaye
Maybe in some things, Kaye, but mostly I wouldn't follow my trail! The Corning Ware sure holds up well.
DeleteI like the sound of rhubarb cake :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Liam! I do, too. Perhaps today will be cake baking day. It's another dreary one.
DeleteIt's easy for kitchen contents to get completely out of control. Looks like you've done a good job of creating some order.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, nick. Now to keep it this way....
DeleteGreat job 👏 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda!
DeleteWell, I had a vicarious thrill seeing the inside of your cupboards. I always enjoy this, I guess that says I am a nosy parker, lol! You have the same corning wear design I have. You did a great job at your cleaning and now you've reminded me I need to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's about an interesting as my adventures get, Denise! I think the pattern places us all in a certain era.
DeleteMost times, a task that was delayed for a longer time, does seem better when all done. Thanks for sharing your kitchen reorganization projects. It reminded me that it’s on my to do list as well. But this week, I managed to short through clothes and ready some for donations and also sorted out some cookbook donations.
ReplyDeleteI felt quite proud of myself, Dorothy. Rah, me! Now to carry on with the motivation.
