*NO PANTRY* SMALL KITCHEN ORGANIZATION // ORGANIZE WITH ME // APARTMENT KITCHEN MAKEOVER

[@sewbeautiful2174]

This is a realistic and normal kitchen organization . The best thing is that she’s not using any fancy organizing baskets, jars etc . She’s used all the basic dollar store articles to store stuff . That is real economic , environmentally friendly and real housekeeping . Great effort and good video .

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thank you!!! That was the goal. I’m glad you enjoyed this 🥰

[@RobynnNinjah]

Thank you for posting a REALISTIC kitchen organization! I am so TIRED of seeing these Pinterest kitchens! They just do NOT function the way they look like they do! This is so much more realistic AND its more affordable

[@DanielleSkeaton]

You’re so welcome! I swear all the reasons you mentioned are why this video exists. I got so tired of struggling to manage my non-pantry kitchen. So glad you enjoyed this and got some ideas! Thanks for watching 💕💕

[@MV-se1ke]

Amen! A realistic kitchen organization! Ty!

[@tonic2335]

Appreciate you realizing not everyone had a pantry! Excellent video- thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@DanielleSkeaton]

You’re welcome ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@kathytappero7179]

Thanks for doing these organizations on a budget!

[@oohmamabiz7070]

Job well done! Your kitchen is so much like mine…small & outdated, but I’m so grateful and I love it! I’m about to go decluttered and get it together! If I can figure out how to add a picture in the comments I will. Thanks for the inspiration!😉

[@MV-se1ke]

Amen! Ty for this realistic kitchen organization! While the other channels have gorgeous remodeled kitchens and are inspiring, we cannot afford that sort of space! This is a breath of fresh air! ❤❤❤

[@tanjeeesters2068]

I love how real this video was. It definitely wasn’t set up just for the camera. Thanks 🖤

[@DanielleSkeaton]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊 thanks for watching!

[@lynnpoirier4152]

I very much identified with you because my kitchen is very small and dated. I also have no pantry. Sometimes watching other people makes me feel that they cannot understand because they have walk-in pantries and lots of drawers and cupboards. Thank you for your video.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yes I know what you mean. Which is the reason I just put this video out there because regardless, it still needed organizing! Thanks so much for watching 💕

[@thekirksiffs5285]

Oh my gosh! You must be in heaven with your new kitchen!

[@karinadontstop]

Looks like my kitchen I love this!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks!

[@saintinlower48]

I have a decent sized kitchen without a pantry and I do have those newer white cupboards. And guess what, I would take your wood cupboards any day over these! I love that you did not decant everything and use a Cricket machine to label everything. I've decided to work over my kitchen once again and do what's best for me which is some decanting, some containers and some just cleaning the shelves out and replacing the jars. I love love love that you have a normal kitchen that you made better. ❤

[@ZoeysMusings]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love how real you are and unapologetic for working with what you have. You made it work, Mama! New subbie 🙌🏽

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yay! Welcome to the fam I’m so glad you enjoyed it💕

[@kathy3178]

I have narrow cabinets and drawers in my kitchen with no pantry. You have given me some great ideas for organizing.

[@naomimusenga1597]

Thank you for sharing this video. I feel sometimes overwhelm with my kitchen it is an outdated kitchen when you said that it motivated me to get organising .

[@DanielleSkeaton]

You’re welcome! I know you how you feel. Once you organize it you’ll feel way better! Thanks for watching 💕

[@cathrynrose7369]

Gah I'm so glad I found this. We have almost the same cabinets. They were made by my husband's grandfather. Everyone's Stark white kitchens makes me really unmotivated cause mine will never look like that.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

I know the feeling. I’m glad you enjoyed this! 😊

[@SBL1932]

Whow. What a great job. Very realistic and doable

[@shellyhall5580]

Great job and very realistic to the kitchens that a lot of us have.❤

[@what7643]

Love how well one can organize with things from the dollar store! Just a quick tip, put a bucket under your sink. My sink had a bad leak and I didn’t realize until the back of my cabinet was filled with mold! Wish I could go back and buy a bucket instead of replacing my cabinet. Could’ve save SO much money 🤧

[@DanielleSkeaton]

It’s funny you say that because I have a bucket under there right now! Smh.

[@steffraynes]

It’s so satisfying to organize your kitchen. I always feel so accomplished...even when I’m just watching you do it on video. 😂

[@DanielleSkeaton]

🤣🤣🤣 well thanks for watching!

[@Tilas8]

Thank you!!!! You have inspired me to organize my pantry.

[@Luigi48me]

Awesome video. Out of all the vids I searched, this is the one I watched. I’m heading to dollar store tomorrow. 😊thanks for sharing this

[@cindysams9832]

You did such a great job!

[@katherinetaylor3807]

This video is great for background while I'm working, but my husband will definitely LOVE this video later! The kitchen is his domain and he's always looking to reorganize it! Thank you!!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Aww, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching & subscribing! 😊❤️

[@funbeautybff3130]

Good job Dani! You showed that you can use what you have and it looks great!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yes ma’am! Thanks for watching 💕

[@zadiepickens5738]

I have a small kitchen and you have given me a lot of ideas thank you.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

So glad! Thanks for watching 😊

[@FavorKreations]

You did great!! I am in the middle of reorgnizing and you helped me out!! Thanks.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yay! Thanks for watching! 💕

[@Kris-bo7dg]

Great and Realistic Video. Very Relatable ❤

[@salvease]

Thank you for proving that no matter the size of one's kitchen, you can be decluttered and organized. My kitchen is smaller than this. Have you ever watched Cas from Clutterbug? I get overwhelmed easily and knowing my "style" bycwatching her channel was eye-opening. I saw a more recent pantry organization video of yours. Organization is KEY to running a household. Especially with kids and pets. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Well done Dani!!!👏👏👏👏

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yes, organization is so key!!! Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Welcome to the family 💕

[@tlcleanlife6772]

New subscriber. Love how you tackled one cabinet and drawer at a time. Thanks for sharing!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks girl! 😊 That’s my favorite way to organize anything-in small sections!

[@sixteencandles6]

You did all of this in a day? What a great job!

[@OurSavvyLifestyle]

Great organizing video.

[@carlawallace9776]

Thank you so much for making this video. I jotted down lots of new ideas you shared. This video is so helpful and can work for any household!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Carla Wallace I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m all about putting out relatable content 😊

[@Neisy2024]

Hello I am new to your channel I am glad I found it. I will be moving in two weeks. I have the same amount of cabinets you do. I needed help with making room in the cabinets and you just helped me.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

That’s great! I’m so happy you enjoyed it😊

[@ceeceeme3019]

thank you so much sis and i love that you Stuart well with what the Lord has blessed you with i subscribed💪🏾

[@ryheemskeatonsr5524]

I love this video AMAZING JOB!!!!

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Ryheem Skeaton Sr 😊 Our kitchen looks and feels SOOOO much better. Now if I can just get you to stop throwing around the pots & pans 😂

[@ginamarfeo7619]

Great job looks great want to do mine lol

[@susanpeterson9947]

I have light colored laminate counters and they stain so easily! I use Comet cleanser on mine, works great for me.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks for the tip! I’m seriously gonna try this!

[@jennifers2017]

I use a magic eraser on mine, gets everything out, even the coffee stains!

[@jennifers2017]

Although i get a copycat magic eraser on Amazon, 50 of them and they work even better than the real deal!

[@rhodiafiddler5557]

I have a problem to with stains on my counter top. I've used bleach and peroxide, which work great, but now I have another problem. It is wearing my counter top out, and don't want to have to replace it. So what can I do?

[@happycamper4045]

Great video!

[@gracielam6872]

Great job!!

[@kimberlythompson8489]

Love it!Go girl!!!❤️💪🏽

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thank you! 😊

[@wisahour]

you have a neat and clean kitchen, it inspires me. How many times do you clean and organize your kitchen in a week?

[@DanielleSkeaton]

I clean it every night. I try my best not to go to bed with a dirty kitchen. And I organize it every time I buy groceries!

[@nancyjordan6038]

The door by the fridge you can put a over the door rack there you can store more can goods .

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks! Great idea

[@AdrianMei]

good work. having a clean clutter free kitchen environment makes me want to cook more and boost my mood as well. One thing that I noticed is that having a microwave on the counter top took up so much space. Do you have a suggestion how to deal with that?

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Same! It does unfortunately take up extra space. It’s a struggle but you gotta do what you gotta do. If you have the space in your kitchen for a microwave cart, that may work better.

[@tonia2483]

great job my kitchen has the same shelves as yours so this helps.

[@alisonbradley8785]

Just wanted to mention for future reference, non-perishables past the expiration date can still be brought to local food banks and donation centers. Obviously perishable foods need to be thrown away, but for non-perishables, it's a good option to eliminate waste and help others at the same time 😊❤️

[@CHcBroWNsQin832]

I love your channel

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thank you!! I’m happy you’re here 😊

[@tonyahenry4167]

Good job 👏🏾

[@LMAC1971]

NICE!!!

[@Diniecita]

I have light grey formica counters and I found that a magic eraser takes up most stains. My cast iron and my husband are the biggest offenders. Also, for the long baking pans and cutting boars I use a mail organizer. It keeps them upright and take up less space. And isn’t ketchup supposed to be in the fridge?

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks for the tip! I don’t know why I didn’t think to try magic erasers lol

[@jennifers2017]

Haha I was wondering about the ketchup too! I also use magic erasers on my counters, works awesome! But I use an off brand from Amazon.

[@charmedFanP3]

Have you thought of covering your countertops with Granite Contact Paper for Kitchen Countertop Peel and Stick Marble Wallpaper - they are easy to wipe and they dont stain

[@rebeccaschaefer5214]

Much better, you even have some empty spaces! makes me want to go organize my kitchen.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

I know! I couldn’t believe how much space I saved. It was exhausting but so worth it!

[@linalewismedina2810]

Contact paper and its going to look 10x better too also you can use it on the floors too

[@linalewismedina2810]

And you have perfect countertops for the contact paper

[@angiesteele1107]

Great organisation, Danielle 😂

[@livinginchaos68]

I have to use comet powder and water and let it sit it pulls the stains all the way up no matter what it is every time

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Really? Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that!

[@jennifers2017]

Magic eraser! But the off brand from Amazon!

[@OurLifeinLouisianaLovingit]

You should paint the cabinets white!

[@jennifers2017]

Yes I think so too, they are all flat cabinets so much easier to paint instead of the ones with grooves on them

[@jomeyer13]

i discovered old jars of gravy expired. how do you dispose of them.. garbage entire jar, down toilet.. ?? no not toilet if it has oils...???

[@chris...9497]

It sounds like over time the protective coating on your countertop formica has been scoured away, leaving the absorbent layers exposed. Consider Contact paper or Peel-and-Stick material to recover the countertop. It's waterproof and here's lots of KZbin videos that can familiarize you with what works (and what doesn't; some amateurs, in their innocence and inexperience, do a less attractive job). You'll need to use trivets to protect the surface from heat damage; better to use silicone or wood trivets, rather than metal or stone. If you change your mind, want a different product pattern/color, or if you're in a rental and need to undo the treatment, use a blow dryer to help loosen the adhesive, so it will peel off easier. A blow dryer will also help in the application by slightly stretching the material to ease it around non-flat areas and (after razor-cutting an 'X') in flattening bubbles. Now, a few suggestions: -Some adjustable-divider plastic storage containers (used for fishing lures or crafting supplies) will organize your utility drawers better, maybe reduce it to just one drawer (and the organizers stack even in a shallow drawer!) -Small cafe curtain tension rods installed in pairs vertically in the back of your cookware base cabinet (under that short shelf) would help prop up trays, racks, and frying pans all set on edge while establishing an 'official' place for them to go (if the short shelf is adjustable/loose, then pop another tension rod vertically at left & right ends of the shelf, to hold it down) -Consider running a tension rod near the top of the sinkbase cabinet opening (from cabinet side to cabinet side) to hang spray bottles from their squeeze-handles, which would fill dead space, reduce bending over so far to reach them, and clear the cabinet bottom -Consider running a tension rod just under the Double Wall Cabinet above the stove; add S-hooks, and most of the cooking utensils can be hung there (egg turners/spatulas, slotted spoons, ladles, tongs, kitchen shears, hand-strainer/fry-spider, etc); wooden spoons, whisks, silicone spatulas, spurtles, pasta scoop, and skewers can all be left in the utility crock and will be easier to find and grab by hanging the other utensils -Unless you have small kids, the microwave could be moved to the top of the fridge, saving counter space -Switch out the toaster with the two white ceramic containers; the toaster shouldn't be so close to the sink for safety reasons -The blender is well-situated due to proximity to fridge (for filling) and sink (for cleaning) -Any food affected by moisture should not be stored directly above or below the sink or above the stove (serving/storage containers) -Any food affected by heat should not be stored directly above the stove (no oils, grains, flours, or mixes) -Do a 'Work Station' analysis of your kitchen as to what tasks you do where, then rearrange to consolidate tools to task area -Corner Area: food prep due to proximity to fridge, sink, and stove (prep tools); if MW is moved to fridge top, slow cooker can be moved to the countertop left of the stove which makes more prep space in the corner -Narrow Wall Cabinet (right of stove): spices, sauces, oils, broths/bouillons, instant soups, gravy mixes, crackermeal/panko -Narrow Base Cabinet (right of stove): if cookware (and tension rods) are moved to Double Base Cabinet (left of stove), this cabinet can either store food prep bowls and appliances OR hide a bag-lined trash can -Double Wall Cabinet (over stove): bottom shelf would be perfect for pot/pan lids; consider also for trays/bins of small cooking tools (skewers, steaming basket, splatter guard, aluminum foil, parchment paper, cheesecloth, baking pans, small appliances) -Double Wall Cabinet (left of stove): best place for use as a pantry; needs more shelving to maximize space use -Double Base Cabinet (left of stove): if cookware is moved there from right of stove, then one person can prep for cooking while another cooks; store root vegetables, a basic home tool kit/box, picnic/lunchboxes/lunchbags, bulk food backstock, decor items; would be a good place for a plastic multi-drawer bin to consolidate and organize ready-to-eat individually-portioned snacks for kids and adults, for easy grab even if someone is cooking or cleaning in the kitchen -Narrow Wall Cabinet (right of sink): perfect place for glassware, due to proximity to fridge (for filling) and sink/rack (for cleaning)

[@darlakelso2516]

Bravo! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 😊

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Darla Kelso thank you!! 😊

[@joanies6778]

Is there a wax you can use on the counter tops to prevent staining? People use wax on dining tables... why not the counter? Just make sure you use a cutting board for any slicing. Should work! Wish I had as much counter space as yours. I just finished organizing my kitchen... feels good.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yesss! Having an organized kitchen is the BEST!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 so glad you got it done! 😊

[@Diniecita]

The wax you are talking about is for wood. It actually gets absorbed by the wood and makes a barrier. It wouldn’t work on a non porous surface like formica. Good thought though.

[@jladylove1]

Great job. I wish I had drawers and the cabinets space you have. I have 3 cabinets and no drawers. Little countertop space. But I’m going to work with what I got. Thank You

[@marykey5813]

Tops of refrigerator are always so dirty and hard to clean

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Yes, they are a pain!!!

[@Jessica-C-]

Sad thing is my kitchen is actually SMALLER than this lol

[@blairgarett]

Just found this video so don't know if you still have this kitchen or found a solution to your countertops getting stained. Cover them with contact paper. You can use marble print and do a cheap makeover.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks for the tip! So many people have told me to do this, but I never got around to it lol now we’re building a home and we’ll be moving out soon 🥰 thanks for stopping by and watching 💕

[@patriciacarlo7236]

❤❤❤

[@toutoubenali7503]

bravo

[@KarenAllisonrc]

You are blessed to have cabinet and drawer space tonwork with. I have only 3 drawers to work with. And not a lot of cabinets. You've done a great job. Are you in a rental or your own house? I only ask that because a cost effective way for your countertops might be the contact paper made specifically for countertops from amazon. The contact paper I'm speaking of is usually its made of a thicker quality material. Its not so costly. If you have the budget and younown your home you might look into counter top refinishing paint by either, black and decker or rustolieum. Or even look into investing in buying butcher block countertops. Just some ideas. YHWH bless you.

[@DanielleSkeaton]

Thanks so much for the ideas! We live in an apartment. I considered this several times. If only I had the patience to actually do it lol

[@KarenAllisonrc]

Hello again.😊 I've been thinking you could simply buy some large wood cutting boards from tj maxx or Home Goods, Marshalls or Ross. nd use those. And use trays to fit behind them to hold coffe, oils, etc. Hope that helps. YHWH bless you

[@linalewismedina2810]

And it renter friendly
