Organize Dishes in a Small Kitchen

Organize Dishes in a Small Kitchen
organize dishes in a small kitchen

I have a very small kitchen which means I have limited storage space.  I have all of my pots, pans and skillets crammed into one cabinet which often makes them difficult to get to because I have to move everything to get to the one I want to use.  It looked like this:


It's not bad, but certainly not as functional as I'd like it to be.  I saw this pin for a skillet organizer and knew I had to have one.  For only $9.00 at Lowe's, it's definitely a bargain.

The skillet organizer fits in the corner of the cabinet.  It also comes with screws to anchor it on the shelf.  I didn't even bother screwing it in and it works just fine.  It has a plastic coating and doesn't slip or move around.

Each skillet fits on it's own little shelf and is nicely organized.  Now I can just pull out the skillet I need without having to move all the other skillets out of the way.  As a bonus, the non-stick coating on the skillets doesn't get damaged from scraping on the other skillets!  Plus, I'm a neat freak and seeing things nicely stacked and organized just makes me really happy!

Here's the before and after.

The white wire racks on the bottom shelf are something I installed when we first moved into the house.  They are absolutely fantastic because they pull out and help you reach things on the very bottom shelf in the back of the cabinet.  You don't have to be down on your hands and knees to get something.

    There's always a solution! My grandmother had a sliding tray in her cabinet, it kind of looked like a dishwasher tray - she used it for all the lids to her pots.

    I'm totally doing this, lids, pans, and storage containers are the hardest things to organize. Pinned!

    Love this idea! You should see what I look like trying to shove my pots inside and getting the door to stay closed before slowly backing away. It's madness! I'm going to hunt for one of these for my cabinet!

    OMGoodness...I needed to see this soooo bad. This will certainly come in handy, and I Pinned this as a reminder. I can't tell you how many times something has fallen or almost fallen out of our kitchen cabinets.

    That is a cool rack. I never have enough space in cabinets. I keep buying gadgets and pans!

    I found you on Simply Dream & Create's link party, and I'm SO glad I did. Our kitchen isn't small, but we definitely don't have a lot of cabinet or counter space. This is just such a great idea! Thank you so much!

    This is going on my shopping list for next week. I am so space challenged. I am trying to discipline myself. I ask do I really need it and if I do then I have to give up something. It is not easy. :)

    I'm going to have to look for one of those, if only to spare myself the noise of pulling one pan out and having the other clatter around. I hate that sound!

    those are great tips...with a tiny apt and an older than dirt dish washer, we store our pots and pans in the oven and in the dishwasher. That is a great idea for dishes though. Happy Mommy Monday

    I hang my skillets up on cup hooks I screwed into a wooden dowel I hung over the stove.
