BUDGET FRIENDLY KITCHEN ORGANIZATION TOUR 2023 | Kitchen organization ideas used by a pro organizer

Grab a cup of coffee and join me in my kitchen for a full look behind the scenes of every single cabinet, drawer, and closet as I show you how I organized each space. As a professional organizer, I spent my career helping other people get their kitchens organized, but now you get to see how I do it for myself. You’ll find areas that are ultra organized, areas that aren’t organized at all, and even one space that isn’t finished yet (and has never been shown on Instagram!). I hope you get some ideas and inspo, and I’ll be back with a Part 2 to share all my best tips for organizing your own kitchen.

Oh one thing. You need to keep onions and potatoes separate by a few feet, the onions let off a gas that makes the potato sprout

Believe me when I tell you this is not an insult, but your organization of your kitchen reminds me of those videos from the ‘50’s that were really big on organizing your kitchen space into ‘centers’ : prepping, cooking, cleaning, storage.
Very well thought out. ❤️

I can’t imagine my life being this organized. It’s like a dream. I’m vowing right now to work on it!

[kaylarustem]

The pure excitement I felt when I saw how your measuring cups were laid out lol I hate having to dig around for mine in a drawer. That is such a great idea!

[Caligirl]

I love the cubed storage in the closet for appliances that take up valuable real estate in the kitchen. Genius!

[nothanniballecktor]

I just really enjoy this type of content. Organizing and homemaking stuff is just so interesting.

[lauratempestini]

I appreciate how you talk about Zones. Working in zones creates more efficiency in work flow!

I think I'm the only person who does not like turntables in cabinets unless it's a deep corner cabinet. I find it easier to pull out a plastic bin to see what's in it. It's a better use of space, in my opinion. I like the ones at Dollar Tree that have handles.

I was only into the video a few minutes when I realized the simplicity, yet organized style, I love. Great job girlfriend.

[pamelapeterson]

Lots of great ideas here. One thing I'm really happy I did is having the over-the-refrigerator cabinet built all the way out to the edge of the fridge with built in vertical dividers to store all of my larger baking pans, serving platters, etc. It's easy to reach that cabinet now and storing things vertically makes it easy to pull them out, too.

I love the under sink storage. Especially for the towels and the door containers.

Lela, thank you for this video. I’ve been going through severe depression, zero confidence, and a bunch of self doubt but this video is lighting up the mood for me. I feel like I can relate to you because I also organize my small apartment kitchen with purpose. Everything is thought out and planned-i.e. plates placed closest to dining table. Who knew 9 months making this video and it brings this much impact and positivity to someone you don’t know?! I appreciate you and please keep making videos because it helped me today to feel better and get through life. Happy Holidays to you 💜✨💫

The best ingredients in my opinion: a beautiful place and enough money to furnish and equip it. Thank you for showing your home.

Those drawer dividers inside the drawers are amazing and the tea section is to die for 😊

[Luke.Cooking]

We have those pull out shelves too. No more bending down, removing everything and reaching back. A total game changer.

[jakjsr]

By a mile, this is the best kitchen organization video I've ever seen, and being in the middle of a kitchen remodel, I've watched a lot of them. Your mix of lazy susans, risers, bins, dividers etc is excellent. You solve a ton of problems! Really great effort and very well presented.

[nabilalaelyani]

I think I would put that small spices, in one of the kitchen drawer. Because I cook a lot and will use many of them often

My house was built in the mid-1960s and has never been renovated (I inherited it from my mother). I have found some organizational items that have helped with this situation, such as pull-out cabinet shelves. Your idea of hiring someone to make some modifications will enable me to make some much needed changes - so thank you. The pantry area is a nightmare. There were four stationary shelves with an area on the left side of about 16” that was tucked back behind the wall. Why - it was the 60s. After sitting basically useless for decades, I added 14” turntables to this area on each shelf and it changed everything.

I bought those expandable dividers for the drawers about 2 1/2 years ago and they sent me a survey wanted to know what they did to improve them and I told them to put those slots in so that you could divide the other way . Very well organized kitchen.

This is the best kitchen organization video I have watched so far. It's amazing, thanks all the ideas
