Oh Jeeze....I'm deep cleaning the kitchen
We just emptied out the bottom cabinets. One couple does not need 15 Pyrex bowls. I did find that Pizza cutter that's been missing for 3 years and that avocado cutter that I've been "doing without". I also found tops to pots that are long gone and far too many cookie sheets and muffin pans. I don't think I'll be making 90 odd muffins at the same time in the near future.

Whats hiding in your kitchen?

1. Time for freecycle :-)
Edited on Mon May-30-11 05:02 PM by trud
I am organizing and paring down my whole house (slowly....), so that when I eventually croak, my brothers won't have to bring a dumpster.

2. I'm doing the same thing, calling it feng shui on steroids.
Kitchen, bedroom, study, the attic. Throwing away stuff, donating, shredding, recycling. Finding stuff I thought I lost. I'm really getting into space and less clutter. Kinda shocked how much stuff I brought upstairs, one item at a time.

3. I'm back off track now...
too many other rooms with concerns. But Tupperware Death Valley is in good shape after my purge. I miss some of my bowls though. I made a big pasta salad and mixed it in one of the square snapware containers. It just wasn't the same.

I need to go through all of my oils and vinegars and see what's what. Same for spices. And why do I have a zillion containers of sprinkles?

I need to get a rack for serving trays. I pulled out a few the other day and realized I have more somewhere in the dark abyss.

I am a professional organizer's dream!

:hi:

4. I started doing that last year.
Got sidetracked by a number of consecutive disasters.

I've gone to more funerals in the last year than I have throughout the entire remainder of my life. Among others those included a sibling, an uncle, a long-time friend, 3 suicides, a brain anyeurism, and my most beloved dog. Also, a friend closed her business and the school I was enrolled in discontinued my program of study (without giving students an opportunity to complete their training).

Now the entire house, garage, yard and storage area is a frickin disaster because it has been neglected. I need to clean - and deep clean - and purge.

Send cleaning vibes my way please. I'm afraid to know what is hiding in my kitchen.

10. ROFL...
My daughter is gearing up to get her first apartment. I have a box put aside for her, a box for goodwill and a box for the dump.

I'm so proud...she cooked her first chicken yesterday!

7. I purge every time I move, but I still make sure every kitchen has a little more
storage space than the last.

9. One of these days I'm going to toss all the kitchen crap I never use.
I'll have enough for an estate sale.

11. I'm deep cleaning the kitchen floor
because the brown fake parquet was looking distinctly grey. Since I'm an old broad and partially crippled, I treated myself to a Hoover floor scrubber.

It's my new best friend.

13. I'm actually in good shape in the kitchen.
A place for everything and everything in it's place.
The rest of my house however...? :rofl:
