Usually upon moving into our next home my goal is to get everything out of boxes and put away as soon as possible. This means our stuff doesn&#8217;t always get put in the best place, and because we have moved so frequently I rarely have time to create a system that works for me.<\/p>\n<p>We have been in our current house for almost eight months. A little after the first month I realized that my kitchen arrangement was not working. But, because I am always in move mode I neglected doing anything about it. In January my goal was to tackle the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest pet peeve about the kitchen was that when you opened the dishwasher you couldn&#8217;t access two drawers and two cabinets. Those areas contained tupperware and cooking utensils. After dinner I would load the dishwasher and have to continually shut the dishwasher so someone else could get tupperware to store leftovers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1041.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"341\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The items I kept in these drawers were ones that frequently were washed in the dishwasher. We switched the contents of these drawers with the ones on the other side of the oven.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1042.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1043.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also vacuumed out the drawers.

At one point it held items that I used while cooking so they were easily accessible. Over time this container because a catch-all. We dumped it out and filled it with things I use on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1045.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1051.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All finished!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1048.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"368\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1049.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1050.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"501\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i533.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee336\/anderbach\/DSCF1052.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"371\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love the new kitchen set up. It makes cooking and clean up much easier. My only regret is that I waited eight months to tackle this project. We finished the job in about a half hour!
