✨ Kitchen Reorganization Series || Part 2 ✨

[@nancypeteja6560]

Sophia, I have watched you for about 5 years now and I have seen such a change in you. Each year you keep improving your cleaning to fit your needs at the time....you are such an inspiration. I love your "true to life" way....you tell people "this is real life", you make people feel like they CAN!!! Thank you so much! 💖from🌞🌴🐚🐊🐬🐠🍊

[@pilarmartinez4298]

Hi Sophia. Seeing you organize underneath your sink brought back memories of my own destructive leak. I’ve remodeled my kitchen since and I placed a low sides clear container almost the size of the cabinet under the pipes and disposal, I placed all my cleaners inside the plastic tub and this proved to be a life saver about a year ago when my disposal lost one of its seals and started leaking. Thankfully it was a slow leak and all the water went into the tub. I realized I had a problem when I reached for a cleaning product and found everything floating in the water. But my cabinet was safe. I highly recommend everyone to use this method. It does not interfere with anything and it’s an extra protection.

[@AZHITW]

I think reorganized kitchen cabinets/drawers all at one time is overwhelming, what I do is after I clean the kitchen in the evening I choose one drawer or one shelf in a cabinet and I empty it, wipe it out, make any decisions about what to keep or toss, and then I reload the drawer or shelf. It takes less than 15 minutes, I just do one space every night until I rotate through the entire kitchen and pantry.

[@BiscuitNGravyTales]

You really do tackle things easier now than back before you did your 30 bags in 30 days. I’m not sure how long I’ve been following you, but I remember you used to get overwhelmed more easily. I love how you’ve transformed and can just take on a task like it’s nothing!

[@cindym1574]

I used to use contact paper to line drawers and in the cabinet under the sink. It didn't stick very well for me and would tear over time. I found that plastic placemats work great in drawers as a liner and are easy to clean. Peel and stick tile works great under the sink in the kitchen and bathroom. It sticks really well, is durable, and easy to clean.

[@brandybarnett9953]

I love the idea of an office cart

[@dlweaver4329]

The cheap vinyl sticky tiles at Home Depot for under the sink.They are great and keep it clean and protect from water damage,or spills Donna

[@heatherbennett8654]

I've been doing my kitchen since your Part 1, it is unbelievable what I am donating, I never knew I had so much unused stuff. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

[@cesarinaburgos]

SOFIA THE PROBLEM IS THAT BASKET IS TOO DEEP SO YOU CANT SEE THE PRODUCTS. i SUGGEST TO GET A COUPLE OF PLASTIC BASKET A LITTLE BIGGER BUT SHALLOW SO YOU CAN SE WHAT YOU HAVE INSIDE. YOU CAN HAVE ONE FOR YOUR REGULAR CLEANING PRODUCTS AND THE OTHER ONE FOR SPECIALTY PRODUCTS LIKE CARPET CLEANER :) GOOD LUCK. NOW FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO ORGANIZE MY STUFF TOO. LOL

[@Spot4art]

I’ve done this to every hidden storage area in my house. Started under sinks, pared down lots of products. We are on the same track!

[@jennieg36]

It's amazing how a few minutes decluttering and organizing can make such a big difference. Looking great Sophia.

[@colombepetite]

I use sticker tiles, like what you used in the laundry room, under my sinks.

[@ckitchen9879]

Getting me motivated to do under the sink! Dreaded job. May I suggest you use cheap peel and stick floor tiles to line your cabinets? It takes a while to do all the cabinets but so easy to wipe out and things slide in more easily. I also use Dollar store dishpans to store items which help with with leaks and spills. Easy to pull out and wash! Keep up the great videos!

[@safepethaven]

Suggestion for under sink storage: get 1 or 2 turntable/lazy susans for products [duplicates/backups can be stored in basement pantry] and skip the baskets, or at least limit them to a small basket on the side for things like small scrub pads; dish cloths/cloths can go in the same drawer with drying towels, hand towels, etc. Personally I dislike any baskets that cannot be washed in a sink with hot water and dish liquid, and never store in wicker or fabric baskets any items that can leak, get moldy, deteriorates, or otherwise makes a mess over time.

[@ACGNikki]

i'm sure it's a leftover basket that had no other use... not one specifically purchased to go under the sink lol... you use what you got on hand..

[@safepethaven]

@@ACGNikki I understand that but did not seem to solve the chronic issues

[@DreamMom90]

Love your videos. It looks much better! The contact paper looks great! I think you could double your space in the cabinets by getting a few organizing products. I would love to see shelf organizers in all the cabinets. They are organizers that give you an extra shelf. Get them for every cabinet and also for under the sink. You are only using half of every cabinet. A vitamin organizer would save time. For under the sink, an over the cabinet door paper towel holder, an over the cabinet door organizer to hold your windex and spray bottles and a stainless steel plastic bag organizer. Get a plastic food container with a lid or glass jar to store your dishwasher pods. Eliminating the packaging will look neater plus you can see what you have. Plus extra shelf organizers in there to double the space. For under the sink, move all of your carpet cleaners, paper towels and things you use less often (along with back ups) to one space that is not prime real estate. (I keep all back up and less used items in my laundry room cabinet.) I'd remove the basket under the sink. You are correct, it's too big. Just a simple plastic bin that you can pull out easier would work better. For the cabinets, decide which area is your prep zone. Then store all of the measuring spoons, measuring cups, mixing bowls, etc. together in that cabinet with your knives in a drawer below. Your food scale can go on an organizing rack in the prep cabinet. For your cabinet directly to the left of your sink, I would re-purpose that cabinet and store all if the sponges and the things in the basket near the sink to that cabinet. It clears up your sink space (assuming they are back up sponges not wet ones.) And finally, sometimes it's easier to take a hand vac and vacuum out the drawers. Hope thus helps. Sorry to be bossy, I just love organizing!

[@kandycebeeks7056]

You’ve really let a lot of stuff go, looks great! That basket would be perfect to contain the potatoes in that cupboard!

[@audra2211]

Sophia, what are your favorite silver cleaner? How about favorite "tools" to get in small crevices on teapots, etc.?

[@sarahl7061]

Hi Sophia! Love your channel! I would suggest a weekly pill container. They have them at the DollarTree. I put my vitamins in there for the week then you don't have to get all the bottles down every day and I actually take all the vitamins/medicine I need to!

[@maureenkaech1721]

I swear every week I am either cleaning under the kitchen sink or organanizing the tupperware containers. My Hubby's job is unloading the dishwasher, and he never puts away the Tupperware pieces! Don't know why. Good job Sofia!

[@carriemarie5514]

You are doing a great job! I love all your videos! The first video I ever watched was years ago, when you were in the kitchen cleaning out the Tupperware area! It's like you have a new kitchen now! You have transformed your house into an intentionally organized & charming home!

[@mareebrown2163]

When I moved into my new home in 1973 I contacted all my kitchen cupboard shelves. It is still there :) I don't think modern adhesive paper will be lasting almost 50 years. Such a lovely shade of orange floral it is too.:)

[@sentarose]

I love watching your videos you always inspire me. I also work in the mental health field (I have Master's Degree) and although I'm a little older than you I feel a lot of commonality between us and the way we think about things. I find watching you to be very relaxing and inspiring. You are decluttering your home in the same way I have. I declutter more every year that I bring in. But I don't declutter just to remove everything possible for my home. I remove what I'm not using and what I don't like anymore. I live in a very small one bedroom apartment now but when I started, I lived alone in a three-bedroom rented home with a basement. I have moved a lot since I first started watching your videos and I always have a huge purges when I move. Now that I'm in this apartment I do a major declutter the weekend of memorial day and the weekend of labor day. in the meantime I have a small storage closet and I will book things that I'm going to declutter in purgatory there. I rarely go back and get them again. You are doing an amazing job of getting your kitchen to where it works for you and your lifestyle and your family.

[@ashleymckee1140]

I've always kept steak knives in the silverware drawer since you dont cook with them. That way everything you use when you set the table is together. For the cabinet with your storage containers, perhaps consider putting in pull-outs like you have in your pantry. They have great tutorials for how to do it here on KZbin. It would be a lot easier and save you reaching and digging. It's so interesting to see how other people organize. Good work! Thanks for the video.

[@xsweetcrisx]

Sophia I have an idea... switch your Tupperware cupboard with your Corning Ware ! That cabinet is too deep and never works with the Tupperware

[@xsweetcrisx]

Or you can put the Tupperware in the two shelves where your vitamins are... not 100% sure if they will fit.

[@donnawiseman9311]

Wow! You have REALLY pared down! I enjoyed this. Decluttering with you. So rewarding!

[@bttrflykrs]

I have re organized my kitchen fridge , Tupperware cabinet , my food cabinets and my pantry after watching ur first video ! Ur vids always inspire me to start a cleaning organizing project ! Can’t wait for more vids !

[@AshleyFaulkner]

Great job. 😊

[@n2wabbit]

I love your videos and I have been doing the same thing all week, my cabinets were not very bad but not good either. A few months ago I bought a metal under the sink adjustable shelves at Amazon. They are wonderful because they are made to fit around the under sink pipes. It gave me three levels and after I decluttered it looks very neat at all times. I also got one that has two drawers that I put an extra roll of paper towels and sponges and dishwasher items.

[@LA-gg2ot]

I've followed you for a while now. You have pared down so much. Do you ever miss what you've purged? You've motivated me to declutter and reorganize my kitchen. Thank you.

[@gregandchristanieminen291]

Great job!! Your kitchen is really coming together nicely. Under your sink, an alternative you might consider is using an empty tissue box to hold your plastic bags. Then you can pull them out one at a time.

[@ruthlott3765]

Watching purging and reorganizing is my favorite 👍 and you are one of the best! Thank you for sharing your life with us❤️

[@yvonnep4505]

great job. I need to do under my sink again. thanks for the motivation to getting organized.

[@rebeccaofpollywogflatts8976]

Always motivating. Thank you

[@karencaudill7014]

My sister in law gave me a little wastebasket with butterflies on it and I use it to stuff all my plastic bags in it . I keep it in bathroom closet so I can just get a bag out to put in the bathroom trashcan. Nice job .

[@LW707]

Isn’t amazing how much stuff we hold on to? I always find so much to get rid of and think why didn’t I get rid of this last time.

[@emilyzbytovski2361]

The only cleaning supplies that are under my kitchen sink are dish soap and kitchen cleaners, bathroom cleaners under bathroom sinks, everything else is in the laundry room.

[@emcee2057]

I do the same thing as you. I kept thinking those big jugs of carpet cleaners and all the polishes she only uses maybe once a month should go in that wonderful basement utility room with the empty shelves. If she puts it into a tote bucket , she can just bring the whole tote upstairs to she use it, then return it to the basement until she uses it again. Would free up a ton of space under the sink.

[@monamorgan8614]

Sophia you might try to pick up a boot tray that catch’s water off rain or snow boots, to place under your sink to hold all your products. The sides are just high enough to prevent accidental-leaks or drips from the containers.most should fit in size.

[@monamorgan8614]

Did you find the glass cleaner lol

[@monamorgan8614]

I have every cabinet fitted with pull out mental drawers, yes you lose a small amount of useable space but you only keep what you really use. Mine came from Lowes. I was tired of getting down on the floor pulling everything out to get a bowl or appliance in the back of the cabinet.

[@beautiful.life1396]

That’s such a good and easy idea...wish I would’ve thought of that before!

[@sentarose]

I use large baking pans that have a very narrow lip around the edge. I have some that we're just getting kind of rusty and and unusable and it occurred to me that it would be the perfect place under the sink to use to catch any messes. I liked it so much that I actually bought a couple at the dollar store to use to catch messes in my refrigerator.

[@bonniejordan3441]

I am loving this series. Thank you for the motivation.

[@reneereinhardt9669]

I saw on a you tube channel to put all my vitamins on a turntable. It works great that way you can see all of them, just by turning it. Two small ones may fit on your two shelve that you a already have the vitamins on. Also a bigger one might work under you sink, instead of the basket. Just a thought, you are doing a great job reorganizing.

[@Spokenfan]

Lovely Sophia, what a terrific organizer you are 👍. They look so streamlined and organized especially the vitamins and knives drawer. Perfect spot for the taters and onions too. Looking forward to the next one. We love y’all 💜❤️💕🐶🐶🐱

[@nancyzahradnik6021]

Sophia, you are so hardworking. I need to start decluttering my kitchen as well.

[@alysah6303]

You work so hard for your family and self Sophia. Its inspiring. You go girl.

[@elizabethchetwood1916]

Sophia, where did you get the multi-colored knife sleeves When it comes to your kitchen office, you need to resolve to only do office tasks in the office! You spent so much time and energy making the office a great place to work, and by your own admission you're not using it! It's a habit like any other. Resolve for 30 days to only do office tasks in the office. After that, you can evaluate what changes you need to make! Love your videos! When you finally let go of the encyclopedias was the moment it all clicked for me! I am finally getting rid of the CHAOS!!! Thank you!!

[@ACGNikki]

The office is where Scott works from home now. Plus she's always said how the kitchen is where she ends up anyway and it's just easier..

[@juliestam]

I've managed to keep the kitchen organised except for the gadgets cupboard. Now that's done, the gadgets are on marketplace and I'm planning next week's menu. I understand how gratifying it is to have everything in its place and a place for everything. 🖒🖒

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

They put a add in when you said I'll be right back, like a tv show. =) Love all your videos!!

[@grandma581]

I have been putting off this video because I have to clean under my cluttered sink also lol Well now after seeing your video Im feeling quite guilty so I guess I know what I have planed for this afternoon .Honestly thank you for the push . Very good video .

[@ariancera4138]

I love how crafty and handy you are Sofia.

[@k_reeves7gaumauriesadventu2]

Ever consider a rolling cart for your office space in the kitchen, like an Ikea Raskog??

[@louisel909]

Very impressed! You're doing wonderfully! You encourage me every time you do cleaning/organizing videos!

[@patschomann7338]

These kitchen decluttering videos are very motivating. I need to do my kitchen too. The contact paper looks very good. Thanks for sharing!

[@shellyleach3377]

Great minds think alike Sophia. I was thinking to myself why hasn’t Sophia put down a liner of some kind for easy clean up 😂😂 The next thing out comes the contact paper 😂😂😂😂😂. Then when you clean out the drawer I was thinking she should line that drawer with the same paper. Then you did!!!! Sophia you have pared down a lot of kitchen stuff. That Tupperware cupboard was full at one time. GREAT JOB GIRL!!!!!!

[@katrinasessions1633]

Thank you for sharing I’ve been cleaning all my cabinets

[@Stillnessandspaces]

Just the motivation I needed. I just started cleaning and decluttering my kitchen and really needed some organization ideas. I feel like no matter how much I declutter, I keep feeling overwhelmed 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Story of my life 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@judithtitterington3126]

Hi there from UK. Loved the heading, Tupperware shuffle. I also end up doing this, what seems like ALL the time.even though I discard stuff it never seems to get any less. Have no understanding of why you ladies need to use a planner. A good old fashioned diary works in our house. It's next to the land line phone. BUT I forget to look at it. Missed you while you were I'll, glad to see you again. Best wishes for 2019 . Ju.

[@teresakirkpatrick1968]

Great video Sophia awesome job once again really enjoy your time you share with us!

[@teresacrowe2119]

Looks so much better! I always love your kitchen so pretty💞

[@Floppyearsmomma]

Finding Windex at any given moment is a continual “Great Challenge” for me too! 🤓😜🙃

[@debbietrekell2385]

for my grocery bags that I reuse I kept a trash can liner box and put them in there one at a time comes out love your videos

[@patriciadavenport230]

Awesome job, really looking great and makes it a lot easier and functional for you, cuz you’re always so hard working anyway, love the inspiration 👍🏻👍🏻💜🤗❤️👵🏼👏

[@helhen1]

Sophia ,i think you can use the shelves where the cookbooks are to make yourself a workstation . Love your videos !!

[@mygreatchallenge]

It s too hard to access. You actually have to move the chairs out of the way just to reach the beginning of the shelves and get on your knees to get the back. I tried. It did not work.

[@motherhenn8850]

We tiled under the sink as well. Doesn't have to be replaced, easy to keep clean, and prevents damage.

[@mommargie2679]

Great job Sofia, and I'm so proud of you! This is something I have been doing, but I started in January; Because I wanted to get a jump start on My decluttering and organization before the New Year!

[@marytresame1758]

Try vinegar for windows, works great!

[@cv7357]

Hi Sophia, I highly recommend Branch Basics brand cleaning product. Non-toxic, works great and the company is run by kind and ethical moms. The concentrate goes a LONG way- i use it for everything, even laundry. So nice to find something that works so well and yet not poisonous. They also sell bottles with marks to show how much product / distilled water to use for specific uses... so easy. I'm NOT an affiliate... just love this co!

[@kittenenos1853]

Its looking good I did go and clean up my cupboards !

[@jeannebowes2898]

Wonderful fine tuning!

[@relaxingmomentsasmr149]

You could stuff the plastic bags into an old Kleenex box and pull out one when you need to. Thanks for your videos. I love them.

[@kandycebeeks7056]

An Afternoon Walk That’s a fantastic idea! Thanks

[@agni3682]

Thank you for the motivation! 💖 Because of the time differences, it's the 1st video I see this morning. And by the way, I'm proud of you! I've got the same problem with a deep kitchen cabinet, plus mine is located right next to the window, so I need to fit in between the cabinet's door and the radiator, yaaay! That's why I'm thinking about those cabinet shelves (pull out type, which you mount to the cabinet). Just an idea.

[@halfmoon8037]

Tupperware shuffle 🤣🤣

[@brandybarnett9953]

I marry containers of stuff too.

[@introvert22]

Great job.

[@CRebecca1944]

Enjoyed as usual👍💁

[@JaniceSimpler]

Your giving me ideas for my kitchen!

[@frrusc1]

I love when you declutter…. I know I'm bad but it gives me some kind of sadistic pleasure :) However I also had my soft spots, for example, the newspapers, I solved the problem throwing everything away and not going anymore where I could get Others…..saved time and money love from Italy

[@anne-mariewildbore684]

Have you considered storing the stands for the casseroles you like on them why only use when you have company if you love them use them they probably won't take up much more space with the frames on them than they do without them. Plus you have the bonus that they will keep hot dishes off the table reducing the risk of heat mark damage when you have hot food in the dishes

[@jansenmartinez9271]

A tip for plastic bags that I use if you’re interested... Next time you finish a box of trash bags, keep the empty box and stuff if with your plastic bags. Then you can have new box of regular trash bags and a box of your plastic bags. Then you can stack them if you need to save space! Just something that helps me! 😊

[@Stillnessandspaces]

Wow that's a really good idea! I'm going to have to try that!

[@Tinamar65]

Sophia that’s a lot of knifes for one girl....😉so proud of you still getting rid of things!!👍🙏🏻

[@josummers5045]

I use an empty Kleenex box to store my small plastic bags in. You can shove a bunch in and pull out one at a time.

My husband and even my (step)sons roll their eyes when I reorganize kitchen! 🤪😜My daughters never really react. We are empty nesters but kids come home! The boys just want to know where things are without searching! And they can’t find things even in front of them because I am suppose to find everything for them!

From one of Roseanne Barr's first standup routines[paraphrased] : When did a uterus become a tracking device for all items men cannot find because they do not look?

[@ACGNikki]

Good work! Thanks for always sharing :)

[@rethalenior1748]

You did a great job on reorganizing.

[@buildingalifetolove7017]

Question- have you thought about putting the Corning Ware where the platers and plastic ware are and vice versa? Since that bottom cabinet is so deep and Corning Ware would be easy to get to. Another great video.

[@elizabethchetwood1916]

She had it there before, but I suspect the smaller containers and lids ended up buried in the back. Plus, those suckers are heavy compared to plastic ware!

[@janeturner9192]

How are you going to keep the Beagle from getting to your potato’s and onions?

[@elizabethchetwood1916]

Cabinet lock would be my guess. One like you use for little kids. I hope it works! He's a determined little fella!!

[@jreyes9924]

Just a tip. I save the glass containers from the yankee candles (I actually have a collection) and after they have been washed, I store my sugar packets in one, my coffee in another, sugar in another and my brown sugar in another. Because they have airtight lids my brown sugar stays soft.:)

[@lisastclair7014]

I store my plastc bags in an old Tupperware cereal container.

[@bettylou3709]

Under the kitchen sink is a nightmare so are the bathroom cabinets. Maybe I should say mine yours are 100% better than mine before you started.

[@marytresame1758]

LOL Love it!

Check Amazon for a gizmo that you can keep your plastic bags in it's a life saver

[@mariejeanne9461]

Great Video Sophia, could you put your Steak Knives in the right hand divider and place your bigger knives in the longer divider where the Steak Knives are? Your Kitchen is looking so good.

[@mygreatchallenge]

They don t fit. :-(

[@grandma581]

great video

[@fadyamama]

Thank you for the video

[@katrinasessions1633]

Good job

[@shelleyscales200]

Oh my gosh! Sophia, my cupboard under the sink looks something like yours. You have helped me to get moving on mine. I have a couple of comments for you......first off, why not switch your big knives with the steak knives. Also, it may not be the best idea to put your potatoes and onions in the cupboard next to the oven. A cooler spot would be better.

[@melaniecox1606]

I bet the nutella has more sugar than the peanut butter.

[@mygreatchallenge]

The Nutella is not for me. The Peanut Butter is.

[@emcee2057]

Have you considered putting your little garbage can under the sink and using those child-proof latches on the door to keep the dogs out. We did that in our kitchen and it works like a charm.

[@mygreatchallenge]

We did and he practically destroyed the door trying to open it

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

Any old knifes I get rid of I had them into the police station so they don't fall into the wrong hands. Old medicents go to the Pharmacie they will dispose of them in the correct way. Could you put up a shelf in one of the cupboards in the basement to store some of the kitchen items you don't use all the time , that way you will free up your kitchen.

[@ACGNikki]

Fall into the wrong hands? They're at Walmart too, ya know.. lol

[@wendajones9040]

Recycling old, bad knives is better still.

[@clschaan]

Personally I would find a different location for your occasionally used cleaning products .. I would only put under the kitchen sink things used daily or weekly

[@ewaengie5381]

You can usegreater container for storage cheese in fridge with greater so then you need great mirejustadd it without looking for stuff to have so many ideas when watching you hahaha
