It is that time of the year. A time when many of us feel a strong urge to make this year better than the last, to make life easier, to declutter, and get organized!
A special friend of mine (Michelle Stimpson: life coach extraordinaire and an all-around cool gal) made a huge impression on me when I heard her speak about organizing your personal eco-system. She explained how when even the smallest things in life are organized- your daily tasks become easier and living becomes more enjoyable.
I am excited to launch my series of posts, all about organizing and simplifying your life. Today’s post features a collection of gear to help you organize your kitchen. Part 2 of this series features cool gadgets to help simplify your life in the kitchen.
Add Kitchen Countertop Space:
One of the essential steps in organizing the kitchen is clearing off those countertops. The classic knife storage blocks can take up space. These two knife storage solutions by Wusthof are great options to help fix the problem of the cluttered countertop.
(1) This swing-out Wusthof Under Cabinet Knife Block ($76, on sale for $39.95) stores 8 knives without using up counter space. This knife block swivels and is magnetized to help secure your knives.
(2) The Wusthof Gourmet 6-Piece Knife Set with Magnetic Knife Holder (sold out) is made with the high quality that Wusthof is known for; triple-riveted for durability and features ergonomic contoured handles to provide a comfortable, nonslip grip. This magnetic knife holder comes in chrome, wood, and black accent colors.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS:
Do you have a favorite product from this collection? What is your must-have item for keeping the kitchen organized?
What a great post Amy. With a little bit of cash there’s so much that can make a kitchen look amazing and much more useful by being organized. The cookware organizer is a great idea and definitely the expandable drawer organizer. I love the fruit rack too.

Beautiful ideas. I especially love the spice caddy. I got a scrapbooking organizer from Michael’s, turned it upside down, and it is my spice rack at the back of my counter. Thanks for the post.

Oh goodness, I need most of these! I love the under cabinet knife storage though I am scared I am too clumsy and would drop the knives trying to insert them horizontally at shoulder height. I REALLY need to get my kitchen reorganized, in fact, it’s one of my personal goals for April.
Thanks for sharing with #throwbackthursdaylinkup. Pinning!
