Kitchen Cure [Week 2]

This Week's Assignment: De-Clutter & Reorganize Tools

To end last week, I cleaned out my freezer. It's all neat and clean now...


Then I dug into all my "tools."

Here are some before pics:




And then after the chaos:

The joys of temporary housing...

For those who do not know me, I am a poor college student in year number two of living off campus and apartment number two in that time frame. Potentially to move again if I can find superior living conditions.

As much good as there is to my current abode, there is still dark, old, cabinetry.

Kitchen Cure [Week 1]

The goals of week one consisted of: taking before photos, decluttering and purging old food, and wiping down cabinets, counters, and the fridge.

I've got the before pictures taken care of. I've gone through all my food products, excluding my freezer, which still needs to be done. And I wiped things down decently well between taking food out and putting it back.

I feel like I've already made several big steps. I rearranged things a bit and was able to put away the pile of misfits that was hanging out in the corner of my kitchen. In the process of this rearrangement, I also fit the bin of dirty towels/rags under the sink and moved the flea bombs and other chemicals away from my potatoes...

I still have the freezer to go, but I've made progress and am looking forward to the next challenge this weekend.

Kitchen Cure [before]

Today actually starts week one and the first assignment, but I've been gone most of the weekend, so I'm just now taking my before pictures. I restrained myself from cleaning, straightening, or moving anything. This is real. This is how it looks.

Kitchen Cure 2010

I have decided to participate in the Apartment Therapy/The Kitchn Kitchen Cure for Spring 2010. (Yes, that was a whole slew of links...) In an attempt to track my progress and keep myself motivated, I'll be posting pics and progress details here.

If your kitchen is 'sick' or you're just sick of all the junk, you should join me!

Timing is Everything

Yay snow.

Yay spring break.

Boo snow on spring break.
