If you’re anything like me, once the holiday decorations come down you’re ready to start getting your house a little more organized.

The kitchen is the first place I need to start!

Here are 8 smart tips to help you organize your kitchen!

I can’t believe I never thought to put these organizing tools to use in my refrigerator.

I love this idea! Use tension curtain rods to create dividers. Buy rods to fit the space, and position pairs of them at intervals. Great for storing platters, cookie sheets and cutting boards

Use vinyl to place a measurement conversion chart right inside your cabinet door.

I don’t have much cabinet space, so I use a wall mounted pot rack to hang my pots over my stove.

I already use hooks inside my cabinet doors for dish rags to dry, but I love the idea of adding buckets to doors for sponges and tools too!

Make a chalkboard for the kitchen to keep track groceries needed, menus and to-do lists.

Use jars, containers, and baskets to keep pantry items organized.  Use labels to make sure everyone knows what goes where.

Make better use of the space under your sink.  Hang spray bottles from a tension rod for easy access.

    [...] When we moved into our home, there was one large cabinet that must hold all our pots, pans, cutting boards, baking sheets and everything else. It was completely empty. Not a single shelf in the entire thing. Before we even moved in I went out to the store to pick up wire shelving to help separate areas so we could organize and stack things. While I was out, I picked up a few bins for the refrigerator as well to help create a cheese drawer and more areas to store small packages that belong together. Adding shelving and dividers can help keep you organized. It separates things in larger spaces, and it can also make things more accessible. A hook on the wall to hold potholders, for example, will help them from getting lost in the drawer with the linens. Tension rods act as dividers for cutting boards and baking sheets, making them slide in and out of storage easily. Via Martha Stewart by way of TidyMom. [...]
