Happy Friday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful week, I know I did and I am looking forward to the weekend. Can you believe that it is August already?! The summer is flying by. One thing that I love about summer, though, is being in the kitchen making all sorts of wonderful salads and dishes with freshest ingredients. However, I notice that I am constantly reorganizing ingredients and food items given the limited cabinet and counter space.
Check out some quick ways to keep your kitchen organized and a list of some of my favorite websites for finding unique kitchen items!
MASON JARS
Mason jars are a simple and inexpensive way to keep your kitchen/pantry organized. I found some at Target and they come in an array of colors and sizes. You can find them here. I posted this pic on Instagram (@cosmopoloitanclosets) awhile ago when I had flour, rice, pasta, brown sugar and popcorn stored. I now have oatmeal, coconut flour, quinoa, popcorn and brown rice in them 🙂 |
CANISTERS
I absolutely love these canisters/dispensers that I came across on Wayfair’s website. Check them out here. These are definitely ideal if you own your home and don’t mind a quick installation! |
I bet you are trying to guess, what’s the difference between canisters and mason jars. Not much, I have to admit, but canister sets normally come in graduated sets of 3. I found the ones above in Homegoods of course, but you can find a great selection at Bed, Bath and Beyond (here).
BASKETS In another post, I will talk about the shelves that we have in the kitchen, so stay tuned, but in the meantime I will show you the baskets that we use to organize the shelves. I am sure you can guess by now that if I have things on shelves, then I probably don’t have that many cabinets. Hahaha, which is ok b/c I love an organizing challenge. The baskets are metal and I found them at Walmart. They are perfect for storing condiments and mason jars and you can pretty much find them anywhere. Here is a list of my favorite websites for kitchen organizing products: Plus you can never go wrong at Marshalls, Homegoods, TJMaxx, Burlington, Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond, The Container Store and so many more! |
