A Slob Comes Clean
486: Function. Important Everywhere. Essential in the Kitchen.
•
Function is so important in the kitchen because it is a space that needs to be used every day! Decluttering with function in mind will take you far. I’m answering these questions about decluttering in the kitchen:
- I love to bake! I must have every size, shape, and type of cake pan and sheet pan ever made! But I "know" that the minute I donate them, I'll kick myself because someone will request something, and I'll either have to buy another pan or turn down the request. Thoughts?
- What kinds of things do you or people you have worked with keep in the upper corner kitchen cabinets? They are awkwardly sized, and the back area is hard to reach.
- Our most visible space is our kitchen. This is the main door we use and the door visitors use. It seems like such a big project. Any advice to help me focus on seeing progress on anything?
- What do you think about storing new kitchen items until I build my "forever" home?
- We currently have a temporary pantry sitting in the living room to house extra food, which is super ugly and weird. Do I keep my ugly pantry until I have eaten all this weird stuff?
