Hosting parties can be easy or hard. To make them easy, you must prep the kitchen and ensure your zones and systems are in place BEFORE visitors come over. This post will show you areas you can DIY right now to make them more organized and ready for those visitors. I broke it down into four areas: Spice Drawer and Supplies, Drawer and Cabinet Organization, Command station/zone for papers and other things that are left in the kitchen, and space planning in the kitchen.

Each one of these DIY projects can be done this weekend. They do not cost a lot of money, if any. Others are things you can repurpose from other areas of your home.
