Today, I had the pleasure of helping a client determine the best place for items in her kitchen cabinets. If you are going to tackle this job, here are a few guidelines to keep in mind:
1. Empty the cabinet and purge any items that you will never use, are in bad shape or you just don't like.
2. Determine the items that are used most frequently and be sure to place those front and center in the most conveniently located cabinets.
3. Try to keep like items together as much as possible.
Keeping these guidelines in mind, my client and I started with her 3 main cabinets first. Here is how they looked when I arrived.

Perhaps it was the new stage of retirement, but regardless, this client did an awesome job of purging items that just weren't necessary anymore. Well done!! The top shelf is a bit high, so items used less often were placed there. And we were able to keep like categories together: plates, serving pieces, glasses, plastic containers, mugs, etc. Here's how those same cabinets looked when I left today.

The drawers and cabinets in this particular house were on the small side, so we sometimes had to get creative. My favorite of the day was this drawer because everything in it is in one category (baking dishes) and it looks so nice and neat!!
