Life with the Gundrys: Fall Break Organizing Day 1- The Kitchen

During my Fall Break I have decided to go through and thoroughly gut each room in my house. Yesterday I started with the Kitchen, I have a bit more to do today but boy does it feel good! I pulled out every single item in each cupboard, cleaned each shelf, then placed all the items back, some in different spots. Everything is so much more easily accessible now, and feels clutter free. Today I have to do all the drawers and I will be done! Here are some pics of my process.
Now these are the before pics of my messy kitchen that was going to be cleaned regardless during my normal Saturday routine. I wish I had before pics of my cupboards but I wasn't thinking that far ahead...

This definitely needed to be done!

The island- The place we just set things down

This is after I pulled everything out

The After:

This is so much better! I have more than what I had in there before, but from looking at it, you would think I purged. I bought the white shelves in a pack of 3 from Walmart. They really help make more space.

This was another collector of things. Everything is now in a cupboard, or in the trash! I finally bought one of those plastic baggie holders and us in the pantry. No more plastic bags hanging off the side.

By alternating my glasses I had so much more space. That pitcher never fit in there, or my wine glasses, mugs. The mugs were in a different cupboard all together. Again, I used one of my shelves to help create more room.
