The last time you opened one of your kitchen cabinets did things fall on your head, were you afraid to venture behind some old boxes of Noodle-Roni, because of what might be living back there? It doesnt have to be this way. You can eliminate clutter from your kitchen cabinet with just a little fortitude and a bit of time.
First of all, dont let the enormity of the task overwhelm you. You dont have to tackle the whole job all at once. Break it down into sections and work on one section at a time. For instance, you can decide to do all the drawers first. In your cutlery drawer, get rid of flippers that have seen better days and the broken serving spoon you have been saving. In your junk drawer, get rid of old receipts and telephone numbers with no names. Put pictures and keepsakes in their special place before they are ruined or lost. You will probably find pens without ink and pencils with no tip or erasers. Throw it out. In no time at all, it will be as cluttered as it was before.
Get rid of any dishes, bowls, and cups that are chipped or broken. Do the same with your drinking glasses. Reorganize the kitchen cabinet if you want while you are doing this task. Chances are you can find a more convenient place in another kitchen cabinet for some of the items that you use every day. Your pots and pans should be the easiest kitchen cabinet to tackle. Most of those items you will keep, so just put them back neatly and get rid of anything that is worn, such as the finish on non-stick pans.
The kitchen cabinet that holds the food is usually the most frightening. Many of the items you purchased will still be edible, but you find your family just doesnt like it. Donate these items to a food pantry or a homeless shelter rather than throw them out. One mans garbage is another mans treasure. Canned items and boxed items are best for this. It will be greatly appreciated by a family in need and you will feel good about helping someone else.
