Cupboard Cleaning.....

Here we are..... my kitchen cupboard newly painted and cleared of all excess clutter. There are two boxes of dishes, egg cups, and soup bowls making there way down cellar.  I decide to pare down and try to live more simply and with less clutter.  A big bonus to de-cluttering the dish cupboard was being able to use items that I really love, but were stored away because of space issues.  I use to keep my Mariposa (the shiny stuff) down cellar in a Rubbermaid container, but like it much better upstairs in the kitchen where it is readily available anytime I choose to use it.

The coffee spoons I use each morning are kept in this milk glass goblet I bought at the local consignment shop for $2.00.  Don't you just love a bargain?

Small bowls for dips, nuts and relishes.

The finishing touch is the new fork and spoon hardware for the dish cupboard.  We thought it added a touch of whimsy to the kitchen.   So friends,  there you go.........one cabinet cleaned and organized and it only took me eight hours. I should be finished cleaning and organizing the rest of the house by this time next year.  Frequent breaks to talk on the phone, check the bird feeders,  walk from room to room,  play with the dog and a drive to the Dunkin Donuts furthest from the house is an absolute must when you're in the middle of cleaning.
