Organizing the Kitchen Cabinets with Totes

Another section of the kitchen cabinets is finished....whew....what a job!    It was a real challenge to come up with an idea to make the canned good/misc.area look pretty...lol!

Everything was just thrown on the shelves willy nilly....no rhyme or reason.     

I went to the Dollar Tree to see what kind of inexpensive totes they had to maybe get some organization on these shelves.      I found some pretty sturdy totes to put items alike together.   I put all my pasta in one tote....all the beans and rice in another one....Jello......sea food  (tuna, salmon, smoked oysters etc) and then I put baking needs in a tote.    When I get ready to bake,  all I have to do is set the baking tote on the island and everything will be right there.

I've done each section to co ordinate but not match the other sections.   

In this section I used the same pink and white paper on the inside of the doors that I have used to line the shelves on all the other sections.     I did that on four doors and used the same pink chalk paint on the fifth door that I used on the doors in the last section.      

I have been amazed at how much space I have in these cabinets now that everything is organized.

The cabinets with the doors open are finished........the closed doors....not a pretty sight...lol!

H is planning to paint the inside of some of the lower cabinets next week.   Those cabinets hold mostly pots and pans.    I haven't decided what to do with the lower corner cabinets as they have big turntables that would prevent you from painting the inside walls.    Hmmmmmm......
