This cabinet might not look so bad to some of you, but if you look down on the counter, that’s all of the stuff that also belongs in there. I am one of those people that likes to do a yearly refresh of all of the areas in our home. It helps to get rid of old expired items, gives you a clean slate to sanitize, and the room to reorganize.

So after deciding that I wanted labeled bins in the cabinet, I needed to figure out what size the cabinets were so I knew what bins would fit.

The first place I checked was Ikea, since that’s where I go for all things organization. I found these boxes in the kitchen area.

Next it was time to empty the cabinet and wipe down the shelves. Then I emptied all of the bulky boxes and sorted like items into the bins.

So everything was sorted, and organized, but I wanted the boxes labeled. This way they could stay organized after grocery shopping, and it’d be easy to find where things are since I didn’t use clear boxes.

I measured the sides of the boxes that I would be labeling. Then used my Cricut cutting machine and vinyl to make some labels. Using transfer tape, I placed each one on a bin.

I LOVE how organized it all is. Things aren’t lost in the back of the cabinet anymore, and we can just pull out a bin when needed, to access the things inside. Notice the candy bin is on the top shelf to keep it out of youngest son’s reach. I hope this inspires you to get a space in your home organized.
