How to Organize Every Cabinet!

When we moved into our new house, we had a lot less storage than our house in Connecticut.  I had to get on my game and figure out solutions for our kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and closets.  I also had to do more purging and edit down to what we really use and need.

I love going to the Container store to just walk around and see what new things they might have.  When I was working in NYC, my office was right next door and if I needed a break, I would take 15 minutes to walk through, stretch my legs and back to the office.  I wouldn’t buy anything, it was just fun for me to browse.

For me, getting organized is not a chore but I something really enjoy.  Finding a home for everything and making it all neat and tidy i so satisfying.

News Alert.. I am not a neat freak!

Before you think I am a neat freak, I am not.  I have a pile of clothes that need to be put away and my bathroom vanity is always covered with my daily favorites. I leave shoes around and my desk is  always covered in papers.  I havent re-arranged our kitchen cabinets since I unpacked and things really need to be re-organized….it’s a BIG project and one I am building up to tackle.  Or when my BFF comes to town (lets see if she sees this :-))

BUT.. I like thinking I am totally organized and when I am in the mood to get it done, I don’t stop.  I also like to hunt for the right item to solve my problem.

That is why I started this blog, I am a really good shopper and I love the hunt!

Want to know some of my Favorite Solutions to Organize my Cabinets??

I have found some really great solutions! We installed cabinets above our counter in our bathroom and I am used to drawers. So I needed to find clear bins to put all my products in and left the items I use daily on the shelf.

It worked in theory but them I was always trying to find something that got pushed to the back and toppling over items in the front to find what I wanted.

I realized I could use the lazy susan to make my life easier!  (see reel on Instagram of before and after)

Bam!  It’s genius!

Here are some of My Most Useful Organizing Solutions

1. Shower: I use this white plastic tray in the shower to hold my husbands shaving cream so it won’t leave rust marks on the tile bench
2. Kitchen: These wooden drawer dividers are in my large kitchen drawer to divide all my large utensils
3. Clothing Drawers: I have been folding my clothes in the María Kondo Style (see this post) and I am thinking of getting these clear expandable dividers for my clothes drawers because right now I am using shoe boxes and they don’t really fit as well.
4. Bathroom Cabinet:  I discovered this 5 piece Laundry Set after I bought the items separately.  Everything in this set is useful.
5. Food Storage: We have limited space and these stackable containers are the best.  I especially like how the tops stay with the bottoms.

Tip:  Be sure to measure the space, drawer, cabinet, etc and look at the product measurements before buying to make sure it will fit in your space. I have returned a lot of items that were not the right size.
