THE BEAT GOES ON I've been trying to reorganize and downsize my kitchen lately to make it a little more cook-friendly. Utensils I haven't used in years -- plastic items turned to stone and ready to break at any minute, lid tops with no bottoms -- they're history. But one of the things of which I was most proud after this summer/fall cleaning spree was the way in which I managed to compress my cake-baking supplies so that they were at the ready when the bug bit me. A purchase of a wire mesh basket solved the problem.
I bought shelves for all my spices and baking supplies for inside the cabinet. LOVE THEM! Wish I had done it years ago. So neat and tidy and everything within view. No more digging to the back of the cabinet for something.
I put up a small SS shelf on the back wall of the kitchen under my cabinets just for my spices. Keeps them away from the heat, I can see what I have and don't have and they're off the counter and super handy. I'm getting ready to order some drawer organizers from a woodworking catalog to help clean up the mess in a couple of my kitchen drawers. I hate having to dig thru stuff.

Bought a new silverware organizer as well. Just love that and it looks so much classier than the rubber one we use to have. These are mesh and are silver.
I was just thinking that I need a better solution for organizing spices, I at least have the sweet and savory in different cabinets, that makes things easier. I need to cull through and get rid of some old spices and get some fresh ones, sounds like a good saturday project!
