8 Weeks to a Less Cluttered Home-- Day 5

If you are just joining me, I am currently completing a challenge where I try to get rid of 10 things per day from different areas of my home.  Some days have been very successful, and others have been more of a challenge.  Click here for background on the project.


Day 5:  Kitchen linens- Dish towels, cloths, rags, oven mitts, napkins, tablecloths, placemats.

I am so glad that I completed this project.  I had been meaning to do this for months!  There just always seems to be other things to do- and I never got around to it!  This project helped me to focus on getting this done.

before: the clutter goes all the way to the back of the cabinet

This cabinet was really a mess.  There were tons and tons of sippy cups-- most of which belong to someone else, believe it or not!  It's time to give them back.

Now look at the "after" picture:

after--everything is organized!

So much better!! Everything is just so easy to get to.  Charlotte and Weston's cups are on the top, the middle shelf has all the dish towels, and the bottom shelf has the oven mits!  

Here is what we are getting rid of:

after-- What we are getting rid of!

One lonely placemat, a burp cloth that was in the kitchen? that has seen too many days, and two bags of stuff that belong to someone else!  I will be giving it back this weekend- yay! :)  It's nice to get rid of the clutter to have a more functional kitchen!
