• Donate, recycle, sell, or toss anything you don’t love or use.
• Use odd glasses or bowls in new ways; to hold sponges or soap by the sink (in kitchen and the bathroom), in other areas of the house hold jewelry, change, keys…
• Group like things together; all serving pieces, prep and cooking items, and food; soups, pastas, grains, etc…
• Take advantage of adjustable shelving to make things easier to reach, put shorter pieces on lower shelves and taller things above.
• Store pieces you don’t use often on upper shelves leaving lower shelves for the most-used items.
• Dedicate an entire shelf (or drawer) for coffee and/or tea along with mugs, sugar, and related items.
• Use lazy susans for spices and cooking oils.
• Install pull-out drawers in lower cabinets; one client called them “life-changing.”
