I've been working hard to organize and mostly just get things off the kitchen counters. So here is a look at what I've gotten done. Sorry, can't find the before picture but just imagine not being able to see hardly any county space! Yikes, it was bad. It took me 3 hours yesterday to wash the cabinet doors on the right and at the sink/island and to clear off the counters. I have to work pretty slow so it wasn't bad for me. Dh is going to mop the floor for me today. I may go ahead and wash the cabinet doors on the left/pantry today if I feel up to it.

Anyway, here's my kitchen!:D

Here is the left side of my kitchen. The cabinet is my pantry.

Carolyn, awesome job. I love your kitchen cabinets too.

I still need to wash all of those baskets and my chickens on top of the cabinets and also wash off the tops of the cabinets. Also I still need to organize some of the cabinets on the right and clean under my sinks. I've gotten a lot of great tips from you girls here. Thanks.:D

You have a beautiful kitchen! Great job!:cheergrl:

I love your kitchen and how bright & sunny it is! :)

Oh thank you CJ. It sure takes a long time to clean up when you let it go for so long but living here in the desert does't help, lol.

Awe, thank you ladies. :D

Awesome job Carolyn! I love the size of your kitchen. I wish I had a bigger kitchen.

What a beautiful kitchen!!! Thank you for sharing! You did great! :clap:

You have a really nice kitchen. I would love to have a big island in the middle of my kitchen like yours.

Love your kitchen!

It's lovely!!! Loving the chickens!

and in one of your pics, theres a basket that looks sorta like a brieface up there up top of the cupboards...I have one just like it!!! I love it.

I'm jealous! Your kitchen is HUGE! We have a very small kitchen but hubby took out the wall between the dining room (15 x 15) and the kitchen which is think is 8 x 12 so it will make the kitchen look larger (we found some beautiful hardwood floors underneath the piles and piles of vinyl flooring!

Our kitchen is still a work in progress (remodeling) so I can't declutter anything since everything is being stored in the dining room but when that's done and everything has to be put back in it's place I will be sure to De-clutter!

Again, beautiful kitchen!

What a beautiful kitchen and you did a great job!

Woohoo, enjoy your lovey kitchen!:)

Beautiful kitchen!

Thanks girls.:D I love the big kitchen too. Mine were always small before this house so it's a nice change. I am not having much problem keeping it this way so far. Dh was so thrilled with it that he cooked dinner last night and even cleaned up after himself, lol. This is not a common occurence here.:toothy:

Missy, yes, it is a briefcase like basket. I love mine too! My chickens are very special too. The 2 tall ones are very, very old and from an estate yard sale that I went to about 18 years ago. The two tiny ones in the middle were dh's grandmothers, and the other 2 are Home Interior that I bought many, many years ago.

WOW! What a *HUGE* kitchen! Looks great!!

It's looking very good Carolyn. You have a nice, big kitchen. Looks very homey too.

OH that is BEAUTIFUL Carolyn!!! the words soothing, serene and lovely come to mind too! WAY TO GO GIRL!!!! YES!!!!!!:D

I would just love to have all of your cabinet space....:D It looks wonderful!! Great job :D

I wish my kitchen was so tidy... we have so little counter space and so many appliances, utensil crocks, spice racks... I need to de-clutter, I think. You have inspired me! Thanks!

You know what your kitchen reminds me of? The kitchens in the houses the realtors and builders SHOW to try to convince you to buy this house .... or one like it!

Looks absolutely terrific!
