Organize Your Kitchen Clutter
There is no excuse for wasting space! Especially in the kitchen where these is just never enough room for everything we need to show off our culinary and party preparing skills. I absolutely love to organize and came across some ideas from sasinteriors that I thought you would enjoy and could put to use right away! I am so excited to try a few of them myself as, quite frankly, there are some ideas I actually hadn’t thought of yet. I never imagined using contact paper to fancy up the insides of the cabinets, magnetic sheets to make them multi-purposed, or cork board for a hidden bulletin board. So cool!
Kitchen Organization: Ideas for the Inside of the Cabinet Doors
Here is the result of my kitchen organization, with all the doors open…
What I really wanted to put-to-good-use was the insides of the kitchen cabinets. All that vertical space going unused? The ideas started to flow…
There is one large cabinet that all the food is stored in. It’s a large cabinet at about 30″ wide with (2) doors. Take a look…
Great change, right?! Nothing from this space had to go, but instead everything was reorganized to be easier to get at in an instant.
I purchased the roll of contact paper at TJ Maxx for about $5.
Once I aligned the contact paper on the cabinet and pulled off the backing, I used a straight edge to trim the excess.
For less than $8, I created 2 fit-to-size wood spice racks.
At the top of the interior of the cabinet, I added a half round piece of trim, which I then added metal screw-in hooks to. I attached the half round piece of trim + the newly made wood spice holders using a very very very strong adhesive – Loctite Epoxy Instant Mix. DO NOT TOUCH IT. I carefully applied the mixture to the back of the trim and spice holder, then placed it on the interior of the cabinet. I held it in place for about 3-5 minutes until it was completely adhered to the surface.
Heading over to the other cabinet, I added a decorative magnetic metal sheet and adhered it to the inset panel with 3M 77 Multipurpose Adhesive. I sprayed the adhesive outside on a towel and then brought it indoors and positioned it. This large vertical spot is great to keep my grocery list, to do’s with the kids…
For the rest of the food items, I grouped them and organized them as I saw best for how / when I would use them. Really no rhyme or reason…
I purchased a roll of cork and double layered it, then added it to the inside panel of the cabinet interior, again using the 3M Multipurpose Adhesive. This is such a great spot for the school calendar, plus random coupons, and reminders. I also use the cork board when following a recipe. I pin it on the board and it’s right in front ready to follow as I’m prepping.
