So far this year has been a year of organization. Or should I say get rid of all the extra crap. Once we have paired down what we truly do not need in our lives to function it’s time to get organized. Recently I have been working on kitchen organization. The hope is that if the first thing we see when we walk in the door is a clean kitchen that we will somehow have less stress. I don’t know if it’s true or not but here’s to hoping! I’m sharing 15 of the kitchen tips that I really like and hope you will as well.
I love having fresh herbs but always felt like they take up too much space on our counters. This tabletop herb garden from The Kim Six Fix is a perfect solution. Another great thing about this is that it can also hang on the wall. How fun is that?
Taking a note from our current home making sure that we built sliders into our custom pantry was a must. The pantry sliders make a great use of all of the space in our pantry. All 18″ of depth. Talk about perfect.

You had me at chalkboard. I am horrible at keeping track of things. I don’t know if it is my advancing age or just too much going on but a kitchen calendar is currently a must in our home. I love the combination of the beautiful wood and chalkboard finish on this re-usable wall calendar by Kenya Rae.
If you were paying attention a few weeks ago you know that I am finally also getting my little coffee station organized. It’s basically the heart beat of our kitchen and where I go to first thing in the morning. See how to make your own farmhouse style kitchen caddy.

Remember a few lines up where I said I had been wanting to make my own spice rack? Bet you didn’t think I actually made one, did you? Good news I did.
