on 11/29/2007 Utensils on demand- Take a cloth hanging shoe organizer, and cut each row evenly across. Tack one of the rows to your wall near the stove away from flames, and fill each pocket with utensils. It saves cabinet, and drawer space. You can use the extra rows, and tack one on the side of your night stand, for tv remotes, medicines, or in the living room attach one to the side of the coffee table for all 57 remotes.. or on the computer desk for pens, pencils.. bathrooms, for hair brushes, curling irons.. In the laundry room for bleach pens, stain sticks.. The uses are endless, easy to make, and useful in every room.
on 2/22/2007 Don't know if this should be in this seciton, but I figure - kitchen, cooking... it's all related. Here's my tip: When cutting onions and your eyes start to sting and/or tear, open your freezer and pop you head in with your eyes as wide open as you can manage. Don't know why, but it works for me - the cold air from the freezer soothes my eyes and stops the tearing and burning cold (pun intended).
on 8/7/2006 As soon as you get up, make your bed and get dressed, even if you're staying home. This will help get rid of that groggy feeling. While you're in the bathroom brushing your teeth, give your toilet a good swish with the toilet brush and clear seldom used items from your bathroom counter. Done daily, your bathroom cleaning fear will be a thing of the past.
on 8/7/2006 Make a list of things to do before bed to make it easier on you the next day. For example, wipe down your counters, empty your sink, set table for breakfast, pack bag lunches for school or work and pick up toys, books etc. from the living room floor.
on 8/7/2006 Place spices lying down in a drawer near the stove. This will free up cupboard space and let you read labels easily. If you have doubles, you may want to lay the same spice on top or toss it all together.
on 1/23/2006 I have a couple of Lazy Susans that I use to keep my spices on. They are stored in the cabinet that I keep my flour and sugar in. It works very well for me, and makes the spices easy to find.
on 11/22/2005 When returning spatulas to the utensil drawer, place them in handle first so the business end of the spatula is toward you. This helps me find the right one without pulling the drawer out and creating a mess.
on 11/22/2005 If you have a shallow drawer near your stove, consider putting all of your small spice jars in there. Lay them down with the labels up. It is easy to see them all at once without having to move others out of the way.
on 11/22/2005 These simple to build, slide-out bins are great! Measure the width of the cabinet (inside) and subtract 2 1/2 inches. Measure the depth of the cabinet (inside - front to back) and subtract 1 inch (possibly more depending upon the slides you buy). Buy drawer slides at the hardware store of the appropriate length (use your depth measurement). Use your measurements to cut plywood for your bin. You'll need five pieces - bottom, front, back and 2 sides. Place the side pieces between the front and back to form a box (butted up) and fasten. Fasten the bottom in place. Attach the slide hardware to the bin and inside the cabinet, slide in your bins - Voila! No more getting on your knees to reach those pots and pans! You can also use wicker baskets, plastic organizers, etc. or cover the plywood with shelf paper or paint.
on 11/22/2005 Clear out everything from under your kitchen sink. Throw away empty containers, etc. Buy a plastic organizer with a handle to put your cleaning products in. Only allow that organizer and your dish drainer under the sink.
on 11/22/2005 Want tidy string in the kitchen? Here's a great dispenser. Just nail a funnel to the wall, place string in the bowl then pull end through from spout as needed.
on 11/22/2005 You should be able to reach your flour, sugar, mixer, spatulas, etc. without taking a step. Use stackable Tupperware and pull-out shelves. Store your mixer, already assembled, in an appliance garage. All this needs to be right next to the oven.
