I am on a mission. I’m on many missions, I guess. ???? This year I’m trying to get ALL of my shit together and not just some of it. By creating one new health goal every single month, it feels a lot more doable for me and not so overwhelming. I focus on that ONE thing rather than the big picture and it seems to be working out quite well. Both of my January and February goals are in full force. I have my March one already planned out and I can’t wait to share. Keep watching for it.
This concept of focusing on one thing at a time is what I am using to get my house in order, too. I have so much CRAP. ???? I swear I move piles from one room to another and never deal with it. Sometimes I throw it in a drawer or a closet so I don’t have to look at it again… until I open up that door and then I get all stressed about it again. Therefore, I am taking charge. As I switch out each room from Winter decor to Spring decor, I’m purging….. It seems to be working out a lot better than trying to clean all of the closets and drawers out at once. I ALMOST have my entire main level done. I only wish everything could walk itself to the curb for trash pick up and the donation center. ????
I already decorated my kitchen for Spring, which also means my cabinets are all nice and clean and organized. I incorporated several nice organizational items for my cabinets that I just love. They are game changers if you like things organized. Therefore, I figured you guys all needed to know about them, too.
I did a complete pantry refresh a few months back and bought several different baskets and it just looks so clean and organized. When things are organized, my mind feels a little more organized as well. Am I the only one who feels that way? ???? I added a few baskets underneath my kitchen island where we store dishes, coffee mugs, and glasses. The coffee cups always drove me nuts piled haphazardly on top of each other. These large baskets actually hold them from falling and it looks a lot cleaner and more organized.
SHOP BASKETS FOR STORAGE
Can I just say that this pots and pans rack is a fabulous invention. First off, I don’t like moving every single thing around in my cabinet to get to that one item clear in the back. ???? Deb installed a pots and pans rack and I cannot even begin tell you how much I appreciate that little project. Not only do they look more organized, but they are at arms reach. This pots and pans organizer came with a rack for lids, also. I didn’t want to use it for that because I store my lids in the drawer of the stove. So I used it under the kitchen sink for cutting boards and small cookie sheets. Oh… and they have just plain drawers with no racks so that you can store whatever your little heart desires. They are perfect because you don’t have to crawl underneath to find anything.
SHOP POTS AND PANS ORGANIZERS
We had enough room around the plumbing under our kitchen sink to put another pull out for all of our cleaning products, sponges, etc. This is another HUGE game changer. How many times did I actually have to sit on the floor and pull everything out to find the one thing I was looking for. This rack keeps everything in order, doesn’t allow them tip over, and I can see everything at a glance. The top shelf holds all of the littles. I LOVE it!
SHOP UNDER THE SINK PULL OUTS
We had a pull out rack for our trash cans at our last house and I really thought I was hot shit at the time. ???? No one that I knew of had one. Not only did I have one trash can in mine, but I had two. So how bout that! ???? I don’t have to tell you why two trash cans are better than one. I also probably don’t have to point out that they are in a cabinet hidden from the world. BUT, what I love about it is that it holds them sturdy, so they aren’t tipping over in the cabinet AND you don’t have to bend all the way down the get them. I just realized I am sounding like an old lady? ????
SHOP TRASH CAN PULL OUTS
Our kitchen drawers are large. When I was organizing my silverware drawer, etc, I realized that my silverware trays slid back and forth every time I shut the drawer. Also, the expandable ones weren’t big enough for our space. Deb, being Deb decided she would make me drawer dividers out of scrap wood. She ended up dividing several of them for me which works out perfect. BUT, if you don’t have a Deb, you can get some expandable dividers that simply fit clear across your drawers with a spring tension. They are perfect for all drawers including the ones with all of your kitchen utensils that slide all over. ????
SHOP DRAWER ORGANIZERS
Im a huge lover of opening up my kitchen drawers and seeing pretty lining on the bottom. I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes… but that’s OK. ???? I have the gray and white in the one and never finished the other drawers. And now I’m in the mood for something else. So, maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t finish it. ???? I was searching for different patterns and found several really pretty liners. They are non-adhesive, which I LOVE.
SHOP PRETTY DRAWER LINERS
I know that you are probably thinking you need a Deb to install all of these things, but I’m here to tell you that you don’t. If you have measured correctly, and bought the correct size of cabinet pull-outs, it is a matter of using a few screws to attach them. That’s the most important thing. You can do it!
Are you guys organizing and Spring cleaning yet? It is a big pain in my opinion, BUT, it makes me feel so much better going into the Summer months when I know I will be sipping my wine underneath the pergola. Chat with me in the comments, over on Facebook or Instagram. I love to hear from you!

I can so relate! I like things in my heir place and finding things I want when I open a drawer. I need the pull outs for under the sink!
I wish I was as organized as you. I’m working on the linen closets, bathroom vanity cabinets, and purging clothes for my self and hubby. I am all over the house and just partway through with each of these projects. Why and where did I go wrong! lol! Did I mention my jewelry and dresser top? Any ideas for keeping your earrings, necklaces and the rest accessible and neat?
I’m going to check out the link for baskets. My big problem is Tupperware and lids.
