Favorite Minimal Open Shelves: A Nod to Navy recently updated her gorgeous kitchen. We love the look of open shelving, but she really knows how to use them to store items that you use everyday. Put out dishes you use on a regular basis!

Favorite Organizing Labels: DIY Vibes shares these adorable labels to organize your pantry. Keep everything in order and in it’s proper place with these easy to make labels.
Favorite way to add work and storage space: Kitchen islands are such a useful addition to a kitchen. They add extra work and storage space, plus a way to add a fun touch to your kitchen. Welcome to the Woods created this cute island from an old lawyer desk.
And here is another take on this idea with a smaller desk by 2 Perfection Decor for Remodelaholic, find what works for your space to make sure you have the storage and look you like.
Favorite Way to Add Extra Storage: A hutch is the best of both worlds. It adds both a storage area to display and decorate and hidden storage in the bottom. If you find a hutch with good bones, you can make it over to match your kitchen like The Honeycomb Home did.
Favorite Way to Store Spices in a Cupboard: Joyful Derivatives has my organizing heart swooning with this step up spice shelf. I need one in my spice cupboard STAT! It is getting so disorganized in there. Plus, all those cute bottles and labels. Please come organize my spice!
Favorite Way to Storage Spices in a Drawer: Or if I had drawer space, I would love to do this spice drawer idea like Hydrangea Treehouse. It looks so great with all of those spices lined up and easy to find!
And if you really want to be super organized, check out how we organized our baking drawer in our small kitchen!
Favorite Way to Store Pans: I have not found a good place in my kitchen yet for my pans, but this might be a great idea for them by Emory Farm! A Skillet Rack! Easy to get to and store, so smart.
Or take a whole wall and display of your pots, pans, and lids like Simple Decorating Tips did when she shared this idea on Remodelaholic.
Favorite Wall Decor and Storage: Along the same line as the open shelving, display cute dishes you actually use as part of your decor with a plate rack! Build this cutie with Handmade Haven.
Favorite Utensil Organizer: I love having my utensils standing up, but hate having them out on my counter all the time or in completely disorganized in a drawer. Queen Bee of Honey Dos shared this tutorial on Remodelaholic to remedy both of those situations.
Or if you have only a narrower drawer, this removable organizer might better do the trick.
Favorite way to Organize Pantry Shelves: Similar to the spice rack step up idea, this helps show what is in your pantry or cupboards and it actually looks pretty cute! See how to get the look over at Living Letter Home.
Favorite Storage Secret: I love a cute range hood, but I love this secret storage space even more! Build your own with help from Everyday Enchanting for Remodelaholic.
And now time for one quick funny!
This is the truth. Then I’ve got to retrace my steps (and thoughts) and think really hard about what I was suppose to be doing.
Hope you enjoy the weekend!
