Here are some Before and After photos from their kitchen- Enjoy!
The couple wanted to keep their counters as clear as possible and have a clear labeling system for all their utensils and foodstuffs.

Pots and Pans find their matches: Their pots and pans needed to be kept in the same place and easily accessible to find the correct lid for its matching pot. I purchased a rack to store all the lids and placed all the pots and pans in a cupboard next to the stove.

A new home for the Spices: Their spices were all in a cupboard stacked on a tiered rack, but every time they would bring a spice down, other spices would be knocked down. To remedy this problem I placed dividers in a drawer next to the stove and laid the spices on their sides in alphabetical order.

Cleaning Supplies: Under the sink can get messy with all the different cleaning supplies. I placed all the supplies in a plastic tub to keep it all in one place and to be pulled out all at once if needed. The couple also needed a place to store plastic bags, so I purchased a nice bag receptacle to attach to the back of the cabinet door.
Before
After
Improvised Pantry: Their kitchen didn’t have a formal pantry to store all their foodstuffs and storage items; so, I used cabinets under the counter and organized it with different bins. I used pull out bins for easy accessibility.

and
Cooking Utensils: Their drawers were unorganized full of kitchen tools that the couple wasn’t using. They had friends giving them duplicate tools that they never used, so I had them keep what they actually use and donate the rest. I then placed like items in a utensil tray.
