So good....I think I will stay

I love HGTV, DIY and other channels that are making a home more livable and beautiful.  I am always particularly amazed at the shows where a family wants to sell and move, BUT FIRST they must fix up the current house to get it on the market.  I always think well if the house had been like the designer left it, the family probably would never have wanted to sell........which always makes me think - what can I do differently in my current home to make it more livable and beautiful.  So I have a couple of projects going, but here is just a quick reorganization one to share with you today......and I am opening up cabinets for you.  Yep, that is just how close we have all gotten here.  I am swinging open cabinet doors.......I am sure you are not going to harshly judge me....right???....you aren't are you????....ok, well let's just go for it.

My kitchen
Now, yes, I have some real changes I want to make in here.  Changes that cost lots of $$$'s, but while I am saving for that I am going to do a little shuffling about, reorganizing and we will see how this works out.

Remember the new cabinet I purchased a few weeks ago

Well turns out it is the perfect place to store all of our cloth napkins.  So I moved those from this cabinet to the new cabinet

and now I have all my napkins within easy reach

Which left me with all kinds of space in this upper cabinet.  So I moved some random small appliances which I had previously housed in my pantry to this cabinet

Which allowed me tons more room in the pantry and more sensible organization there

Now that I have made these minor little changes I am wondering what took me so long to do this.  Take a peek in one cabinet that drives you crazy, make a few minor adjustments and you may find yourself with an end result that makes life a little easier.

It is good to take a look around and see how you can make what you already have work better for you.

Thanks for joining me for the kitchen cabinet shuffle.  Talk to you on Wednesday!
