A Different Day in the Kitchen.

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.

Dreaming said...

Bravo! Well done! It's such a good feeling to have accomplished a task like this, where you can see and enjoy the change!

The Happy Whisk said...

Really, 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.

Rita said...

Love that you have Corningware!
Do 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. :) :)

Congratulations! That's worth celebrating.

You are something! Are you turning into the energy bunny?

We have a little kitchen that Sue somehow manages to keep in order although I need help finding things.

Miss Merry said...

Wow! Your cupboards look great!

Far Side of Fifty said...

Looking 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!

Granny Sue said...

Now that looks nice. It must be so satisfying to open the doors now!

Val Ewing said...

Looks great, I was doing some re-organizing also. Not drawers and cupboards but other things.
This looks great. You have more cupboards than I do, but you also are a better cook than I am!
It looks well organized.

Sandra said...

Yes, 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.

Sandra said...

Yes, indeed, it sure is, Dreaming!

Sandra said...

You caught me Ivy. I did that same thing the next day!!

Sandra said...

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.

Sandra said...

Thank, Cheerful!

Sandra said...

I 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.

Sandra said...

Part 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.

Sandra said...

Thank you, Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

I 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!

Sandra said...

It really is, Sue.

Sandra said...

You've made some good changes in your space. You put those useful cabinets together. You love to hike, I like to cook, Val!

Jane said...

Everything looks good.

Sandra said...

Thanks, Jane.

Very impressive! Well done. I have some of those Corning Ware too. They were my Moms.
I wish I would follow your lead.
Take Care,
