This past Saturday, I worked for about five hours decluttering my kitchen. Yes, five hours. I was over the clutter, the mess, the avalanches when I open the spice cabinet and the lack of countertop space!
I can’t even tell you how satisfying it is to have a clean, neat, uncluttered kitchen. So, I thought I would share 10 Kitchen Decluttering Tips that may inspire you to work on your kitchen.
1. BEGIN BY THROWING OUT
Junk mail, old food, moldy specimens in the refrigerator {ha!} and general clutter all need to go. Grab a garbage bag and get busy.
