House Cleaning

For real.

Earlier in the week I discovered Marie Kondo on one of my gallivants on youtube, so I got inspired to downsize and clean a little.  It seems that hoarders and minimized living posts also move me to clean house at a drop of a whim too.  

I started in the kitchen because that is the easiest place to tackle without having to check in with other persons.  At that time I didn't even think of doing a blog post about it, my apologies, so I don't have a lot of before photos of this weeks work.

Cupboard 1

I had a thorough clean through with this lot.  When I began it was very convoluted and filled with all sorts of things.  It was being used as a kitchen catch all.  I even managed to throw out a heap of things - like jars and lids.  Yes, lots of lids, lids I'd been keeping for I don't know what.  At any rate, now there is plenty of room in there, and it's all tidied.  It even has a bit of room to spare.

Bottom shelf

I made a little space in a corner for all my glassware with lids.  That way I can find them in a jiffy { and the lids } when I need them.

Cupboard 3

Yes, I even got into the pot cupboard.  I removed a tray of packet mixes and moved them to the food cupboard.  I managed to part with a few baking tins as well.  I also threw out some more lids and what nots.  It's all very streamlined, focused and particular about it now.

Before

A quick tidy up.  I moved the boxed cake mixes to the food cupboard.  Moved the plastic lids at the back out and gave it a quick wipe and voila - clean and tidy again.

End result.  It didn't take long either.

Do you have any kitchen cupboards that need a walk through tidy up?

Weeks of Clean - Fridge & Freezer

Welcome to my freezer:

Before:

I pulled the very bottom shelf out and this is what I had.

It's been a while since I cleaned the freezer.

After:

Then I put the tray back in.  So while it's now clean, we can't really tell, oh well.  Nice to know in my mind though.  :o)

Here's my fridge on the day I had a tidy:

Cleaning the Pantry

{ Week 2 }

We no longer have a big huge pantry now that we've moved house.  I've just got some cupboard space. This has meant that the food items have been spread out into several different cupboards.

So, this week I tackled two of those "food" cupboards.

Before:

After:

I discovered some more room once it was all tidied.  :o)

I also found a ton of room in this one as well after it was cleaned.

This week I'll be joining up with:

I hope you will join us.
