The Declutter Project

I know. I know.  Like I need another thing to do.  However, I have to get some things cleared out, packed and moved around.  So, we are now starting The Declutter Project.

My daughter and I got tired of trying to figure out which spices we can use and which we can't.  We did a massive clean out of the spice and baking cabinets.

The former spice cabinet.  It used to be jam packed with spices and gravies.
It is now empty and waiting to be washed out.  I am moving the oils and vinegars to it, so I can reach them easier.  

The baking cabinet.  It used to be so full of things you'd have to take the chance of an avalanche just to pull one thing out.  The spices have been whittled down to the lower shelf.  The middle shelf has only 1/4 of the items left on it.

The top shelf used to be packed full of stuff.  Now it is almost empty. :)  The damage to the wall happened when we installed the new cabinets.  DH decided that it would be better to take a hammer to the soffit to move a small mound that blocked the doors from shutting. I had opted to adjust the doors, so they wouldn't hit the mound.  As you can see, DH thought his idea was better. :x



My other project was the bathroom cabinet:

After



It isn't much, but it's a start.   I am taking the "How do you eat an elephant?" approach.   One bite at a time.  :)
