A Few Easy and Clever Kitchen Storage and Organization Ideas

“Our Kitchen Rules: 1) If you empty it fill it; 2) If you dirty it clean it; 3) If you open it close it; 4) If you spill it wipe it up; 5) If you cook it share it” – Unknown I thought this was funny, especially when coming up with these Clever Kitchen Storage and Organization Ideas.

Every year after taking down Christmas decorations, we go on a cleaning and organizing rampage. After all the decorations are down, it seems like the house is bare and dirty. Here are some clever kitchen storage and organization ideas. Some are super simple and cost-effecting repurposing ideas as well.

Here we go.

Add a Hook

Dog food scoopers seem to always break or get lost in the food container. With the help of an old hook and some glue dots add a little hook on the outside of the dog food container for easy access. This is also a little more sanitary than keeping it inside.

  • Protein and Granola Bars
  • Oatmeal Packets

These are abundant at thrift stores. This one is from Goodwill.
