I would love to have kitchen fairies that did the everyday stuff. Rinsing, Stacking, Unstacking, Washing Up, Wiping and Putting Away are all tedious but necessary. Sometimes that's enough to do.
So my kitchen tweak, from the Big Tidy Up, was long overdue.
Upper Cupboards
Inevitably the Kitchen bench top becomes the most convienient place to accumulate papers, pencils, stationery, LEGO, plasticware - anything really. It is a clutter catch-all.
Command Central
I set this area up earlier in the year but it has grown in size with clutter. It contains:
- calendar
- Household folder
- local dining and attractions
- Suspended file for school, preschool, prekindy, and community
- Finance notebook
- 'to do' notebook
- Ordering notebook
- 2012 & 2013 Diary
- pens, pencils and highlighters
- post it notes
Sorting the School Containers
These get used most frequently and can get into an awful mess.
That's NOT the entire kitchen...(Yikes!)
How are you doing with your weekly tasks?
You've been busy with a big B! I probably would've let it slide until it's time to pack those moving boxes. I love the idea of kitchen fairies. If only. :)
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is usually the last place to get packed up when moving...so I figured having it organised may be a plus. But yes I should just get packing boxes out and get a wriggle on instead.
DeleteI am just jealous of all the space you have! I live in an old house an I have 14 inches of counter space! And that is beside the sink so it holds my dishrack! And cupboards....forget about it!
ReplyDeleteFair enough Josie, bench top space is a premium in most kitchens. We have been renting here for almost 3 years but are moving in 8 weeks to our own house with a smaller kitchen. I will miss these cupboards too!
DeleteIt is very nice what you did!!Good job!!!
