Complete kitchen organization makeover!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Organization

Lots of kitchen organizing ideas on a Dollar Store budget!  Many of you ask where to start organizing, especially when your kitchen feels overwhelmed.  I love this kitchen because it is multipurpose and in an older home.  You don’t need a brand new kitchen to love your space.  Here is how I took some disaster areas and made them super functional.  Easy tricks and tips anyone can use 🙂

This is my label maker that is a great price and I LOVE!

  1. DON’T GET STUCK IN A RUT–  Putting things back where you always put them is easy, but it isn’t always efficient.  Assess what you have by removing EVERYTHING and making sure you’ve truly found the best location for your items.  This will help you consolidate, too.  Time to get rid of multiple can openers! 😉
  2. DESIGNATE DRAWERS– Shop the Dollar Store for bins and create systems
  3. PRACTICE WITH BINS– See how the bins will fit in the space with nothing in them.  This will allow you to maximize the area and move as quickly as possible.
  4. DON’T OVER-STUFF!– Keep your bins simple.  There should be only 1 (maybe 2) types of items per bin and there should be at least 20% free space in each area.  It will help it stay organized.
  5. LABEL EVERYTHING–  This seems like overkill.  But I PROMISE it’s not in the kitchen.  This will help it stay organized no matter who empties the dishwasher.  Here is my label maker!
  6. LAYER BINS-Especially in high up or deep areas.  Pull out what’s in front to access what’s in the back.
  7. KEEP TUPPERWARE IN TWO SEPARATE BINS– One for the base and one for the lids.  Purge containers without matches.  Hello, organization!
  8. KEEP IT SIMPLE ON YOUR EYE– Especially in large zones like pots and pans.  The less your mind is fighting to see the better.
  9. UTILIZE THE DOOR SPACE–  I use Dollar Store command hooks to hand low profile items on the inside of cabinet doors.
  10. DOLLAR STORE BIN FOR SPICES–  These are easy to pull out and put away, and this system rarely gets messy, no matter how many people use it!
  11. ORGANIZED DOESN’T MEAN NEW–  Pinterest teaches use that pretty, new things are organized.  This is NOT true.  You don’t need a new home to love your space.
  12. GIVE SPECIALTY ITEMS A SPECIALTY HOME–  Kids’ sippy cups are so annoying!  Give things that take over a designated area so they stop ruling the kitchen.

I hope you found these tips helpful and enjoyed the video!

NO ONE CARES! {Organizing Motivation}

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

Here’s the side of the camera you don’t often get to see but I think is so important to share.  None of us have a perfect home…not even “professional organizers.”  You are an authentic friend and person because of who you are and how you treat others, not because of what your house looks like.  No one cares as much as you think they do.  Not even me…and I do this for a living. 😉  Here’s my take on what realistic organizing actually looks like and why I think you are doing a great job.  Organizing is important, but we can all drop the perfection part.  Especially when there are some beautiful kids running around.

Are you a hoarder?

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

In this declutter vlog I share the 3 things that many people hold on to that they don’t actually need.  Why?  These items are so easy to accumulate and we feel wasteful getting rid of them.   But in reality, they are actually turning to clutter and making organizing our homes more difficult.  We save them because we think we need them, but we are in turn making spaces we could truly love a chaotic mess.  Happy spring cleaning and I hope you find the motivation you need to PURGE & DECLUTTER!!

First Five Below Haul!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

I’d never been to a Five Below, and we had the grand opening of one in our area.  In fact, YOU, my subscribers and readers, were the first to tell me about this budget paradise!

If you aren’t familiar with this chain, ever item is $5 and under.  During my first shopping trip, I found lots of organizing tools that won’t break the bank.  While not everything is worth your time, there are a considerable amount of items that are well worth the price tag.  In fact, they are much cheaper than you would pay retail.  Five Below has lots to offer, so here’s my first haul and how I used the items to get organized.
