How to Organize Every Area of the Kitchen Challenge

How's your kitchen? Does everything have its place? Well, this month, your challenge is to get your kitchen organized!  I mean organized - not just cleared countertops.

How to Organize Every Area of the Kitchen Challenge - featured image

First, go through the following Areas/Zones in your home and look at the areas with a fresh eye. Pretend you are a stranger that was staying in your home and wanted to make dinner.  Will you be able to do those tasks easily? What struggles do you encounter? Then, ask your kids and partner to go through the kitchen and see if they can find other obstacles that stop them from finishing the task. Is there anything else they want to change?

From the task results above, write down the problem areas in your kitchen in order of importance to you and your family.

Now it's time to get down to business and organize this kitchen! 

Below are my posts and fellow Professional Organizers' posts to help you organize these kitchen areas.

Feel free to come back and visit these posts while you are organizing.  Remember to take your time.  It's not important to go fast through the areas. It's more important to organize the area completely and effectively.

Click on the section below and jump to the areas you need to organize.

    You must have the neatest kitchen (house) ever! In going to go back and read some of those that pertain to my problem areas again.

    What a great collection of posts about kitchen organizing! Nice curating job. Kitchens are the hub of the home. So getting them "humming" makes living so much easier. I find that putting things close to areas of use helps tremendously along with taking away the unessentials.
