16 Ideas For De-cluttering Your Pantries And Cabinets

Happy Friday to everyone! 

Having worked as a kitchen and bath designer and as a custom closet designer, I've seen a lot of cluttered spaces. 

Seriously cluttered.

I'm talking pantries so full you couldn't find anything to save your life...

and linen closets piled so high that things fall on you when the door is open...
and walk in closets so full, you couldn't walk in them.
You get the picture.  

And even though I love to organize things,

I must admit there are a few spaces in our home that need some organizing.

How about you?

So, I've put together a board on hometalk.com of 16 fabulous pantries, linen closets and cabinets for all of us who need a little inspiration to de-clutter our spaces. 

You can find my De-cluttering Your Pantries board shown below HERE with all the links to see the full projects.

If you don't know about hometalk, it's "the largest home & garden knowledge hub on the web. It's fueled by the firsthand experience & advice of hundreds of thousands of home enthusiasts and professionals".

So, head on over to see the whole board on de-cluttering your pantries.

Have a great (and clutter free) weekend!

Bring The Beauty In

 

I often go out to the garden and cut whatever looks interesting and bring it inside and put it in a vase. There aren't always flowers blooming in the yard, but there are a few in the Spring. 

Sitting outside yesterday looking out onto the woods I noticed how the leaves of the once little Japanese Maple on the edge of the patio were looking so red and vibrant. 

 Then I noticed the tree was looking a little overgrown and droopy. A few branches had grown and were drooping right over several of the nandina in front of it. 

Took me about a minute to go get some sheers to cut those vibrant red Japanese Maple branches.

Several of the  peonies had grown large too and some of the big heavy flowers were practically on the ground. 

I cut the droopy peonies and brought them inside and put them in a vase with some water with the branches.

They look perfect on the table in the Breakfast Room.

Think I'll go outside and cut a few blooms off one of the Knockout Rose bushes like my daughter did the other day.

What beauties do you have growing in your backyard that you could bring in?

wishing you a beautiful day
