How to organize my kitchen
How I did it: I basically emptied the entire kitchen as if I were moving to a new house, and then completely started over. It was physically and mentally draining, as I had to make so many decisions about what should live where and whether I needed certain things or not, what to put into storage, etc. But now it's easier for me to find things, and I have more space for things I use a lot now that I've gotten rid of (or moved) things that I don't use as often.
Lessons & tips: I used a label maker to label many areas in the shelves and cupboards, so when friends and family are here and are helping in the kitchen, they can find where things go. (My mother is always putting things away in the strangest places, and then I can't find them again!)
Resources: Two books that helped a lot: "Organizing from the Inside Out" by Julie Morgenstern, and "One Year to an Organized Life" by Regina Leeds. Both very good books which I recommend.
