What I really appreciate about this video is that it truly is a small kitchen. She showed great solutions to a challenging space. I’ve been so frustrated with small kitchen organizing videos for kitchens that are huge compared to mine! I also appreciated her bloopers. We’re all human and the bloopers made me like her more and want to give her a hug!

You know, I have to tell you. I have NEVER spent this much time looking at comments, and responses to comments.
This is absolutely one of the ten best organizing videos on YouTube. If not top five.

Excellent Video! One hint so your trash doesn't get smelly in the coat closet: A friend of mine usually has a big zippy bag in the freezer where she puts all leftover food so it is frozen until she can throw the bag in the outside garbage. :)

I really appreciate this REALISTIC organization! All the “small space” videos aren’t small and they all have expensive uniform containers, etc. I think these tips will really help me.

I wish she could come to my house! My Kitchen is mid 1950's with NO FRILLS, no pantry, not even a dishwasher! On top of that, I LOVE to cook and to bake. Her energy is inspiring! Pantry? In my dreams! Broom closet? In my dreams too!

Placing parchment/baking paper on the tops of high cabinets will collect all of the grease, dust etc in a kitchen and will make cleaning so much easier. When cleaning, just (carefully) remove the paper, wipe down as usual and replace the paper again. I also made the most of that blank space at the end of our kitchen cabinets, nearest the door where the cabinets end, by fitting a Sunnersta rail from Ikea. This allowed me to hang a cotton, three pocket organiser which I use to store my electronic scales and favourite recipes. On this rail I also added two Sunnerta clip-on containers, making a great home for frequently used items like my kitchen timer. Thank you for your video, it's so great to see a video showing an actual small kitchen, so many videos refer to a small kitchen when it has an island and is twice the size of ours :) Thank you, and Tasha, for sharing x

Omg I kind of want to cry. Lol I've been stressing about my small kitchen & after seeing this video I feel like its so doable. I just didn't know where to start! Thanks

I used a $1 curtain rod, and $1 clear shower curtain hooks to hang my coffee mugs under my cabinets, which cleared up A LOT of cabinet space

[carriekassick]

This was one of the best videos of this type. The fact that you have a small kitchen of your own makes it so relatable! Thank you!

Thank you! Finally organizing tips for ordinary people who don't have $50, 000 kitchens. Great use of available space. 💚

It was such a joy to watch your presentation. You speak so well and exude so much joy in your message that not only your ideas but your spirit is uplifting. You think out of the box and have created many useful methods of encouragement that I hope to employ. Thank you for your freshness
which makes you stand out in the crowd of same subject YouTubers. You’re teaching this 81 year youngster lots of new tricks as I downsize my home.

Our daughter's kitchen is similar. We bought her a large cutting board at a yardsale. She can store it vertically, but she can place it across her sink & it creates more counter space when cooking.

In my small coat closet turned into a pantry with shelves I used a clear see through over the door shoe holder. It holds my tin foil and baggies and such. Also easy snack area for grandkids. Extra spices. Rolled kitchen towels. So much more.

I would switch dishes and coffee mugs with the food cabinet. I would set up my food in baskets at the entry, setting it up like a market, and even label that area as the market. For sanitary reasons I don’t like dishes and cups exposed.

Hi good on you, awesome ideas 💡. I live in the tropics so heat and dust are bad here . Always cleaning top of fridge and upper cabinets . Good hack is I store all my flours, breadcrumbs, baking stuff icing sugar etc in zip lock bags in the freezer shelves it’s so much better and freed up space .Also lasts for ages no more weevils or bugs 👍👍

[janelbuckley]

There's a "magnetic stove shelf" that can give you added storage. There's also a magnetic shelf that you can attach to a refrigerator.

Ladies, when you’re young and just starting out you do the best you can with what you have. I commend this young lady. She also want ideas and said leave them below. ✌🏾and happiness

I hung a grate from the ceiling above my kitchen sink in my apartment using S hooks to hang all my pots, frying pans and all their lids. This freed up one entire cabinet space to use for other things. It was the best organizational investment I made for my small kitchen.

[mackenzie]

I like that you’re in an apartment because I am too and all those other organization videos (which are great), have so much more space than I do. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
