I got rid of a LOT of mugs, so much so that I actually had room in the cabinet for some bowls. Of course someone we love just came back from vacation and brought us each a new mug. I quickly threw a towel over the boxes we are getting rid of. It does feel good to get rid of all those things.

I also bought the white plastic lids to use with the smaller jars and a Freshsaver handheld sealer to seal up the larger jars.. All the old plastic stuff went out the door.<br /><br />I like glass since I can put in the dishwasher, refrig, freezer. I tend to take stuff out of boxes and bags because of moths - once you are hit with an infestation and have to throw stuff away, then sealing it up makes sense. <br /><br />I also buy during sales and store accordingly. During the fall and winter, I like home baked bread, so during the holiday sales, I buy flour and put into jars according to the recipe (6.5 cups). <br /><br />I also have a friend with two college age girls, so some of my excess kitchen stuff is being boxed up for their first apartments.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-5967636460310516632015-08-24T16:22:17.535-04:002015-08-24T16:22:17.535-04:00Ana White has plans for those drawers and you are ...Ana White has plans for those drawers and you are definitely more than capable.

Smartest thing this 5' tall woman ever did. I went through every single item in my kitchen because I had to empty it all out anyhow, and I got rid of at least 50% of what I had. Now that we are empty nesters I use the same two pots and wok all the time, anyhow. I have supplied half the young adults in my daughter's apt block with cooking supplies. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8874050313643603802015-08-24T12:08:54.872-04:002015-08-24T12:08:54.872-04:00How big is your pantry?How big is your pantry?JEN@jenssweetmagnolias.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610354289461633124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-89013358816276075992015-08-24T11:47:43.719-04:002015-08-24T11:47:43.719-04:00I've seen great organizing for the cabinet abo...I've seen great organizing for the cabinet above the fridge...all your items laying against each other - if you put in curtain tension rods so they are snug at the bottom and top of the cabinet, and then each of the cutting boards or pans will have its own space between each of the rods. You may have to have 2 rods, one at the front of the cabinet and one at the back, then the items won't lay against each other. I know I've seen this trick on Pinterest.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899536682338962994noreply@blogger.com
