Some of my favorite organizational tips from these experts' photos:
▪ Use clear containers/canisters with designated labels to store dry goods and snacks. (Photos 1, 9, & 12) Find free printable labels at BHG.com and pantry jar labels at The House Of Smiths Designs.
▪ Line your cupboard or pantry walls with laminated fabric or patterned drawer liners. (Photos 1 & 12) Purchase quatrefoil design sheets at The House of Smiths Designs.
▪ Hang pots, pans, knives, and other utensils in easily accessible yet out of the way locations. (Photos 2, 4, & 5)
▪ Organize your freezer with separate, labeled bins for soups, veggies, fish, etc. (Photo 3)
▪ Display your beautiful cookbooks without taking up vital counter space. (Photo 4) - You could also create built-in shelves in your island, so that your books will be lower to the ground (for those of us, like myself, who are vertically-challenged).
▪ Repurpose an old armoire for gorgeous yet practical kitchen storage. (Photo 5)
▪ Incorporate chalkboards for easy labeling, family communication, and grocery lists. (Photos 6, 10, & 13) Great on the pantry door, cupboard doors, or labeled drawers for tableware.
▪ Straighten up your under-the-sink cleaning supplies. (Photo 7)
▪ Create a recipe file, using photo protectors, to protect your recipe cards from damage or spills. (Photo 8)
▪ Reclaim your refrigerator by purchasing some plastic baskets/bins to group like items and make grabbing for things easier. (Photos 11 & 16)
▪ Stack teacups and saucers in tidy columns. (Photo 14)
▪ Design a trash center with specific bins for recycling items, trash, and even dog food. (Photo 15)

I think this is great! Is there anyone that can show me how to do these things with my own home, sinse I can no longer get around like I use to. My GREATEST WISH, is to have my home reorganized to fit my hobbies and my husbands, without getting crowed into one room.
My four kids have been out of the house for about five years now, and it still looks as if they live here. I want a home of my own after thirty-one years of marriage! Am I just dreaming?
Looking for any help,
