Corner Cupboard makes me Crazy!!

11 years ago

I have a corner cupboard that has a smaller door opening. The only time my husband hears me swear is when I have to get something out of it...It gets organized and reorganized

constantly...our kitchen is not that big and is lacking in storage.

    ...and yes I have purged over and over again and I think a mutation goes on when I am not looking!

    What kind of help are you looking for?

    I have a corner cabinet with a wooden lazy Susan in the top half of the cabinet. This is the cabinet I use for storing all of my pots/lids and most metal cooking pans. Food storage items I store in a large deep drawer in the island. Could you repurpose what you use that cabinet for?

    I don't know purge again? Do you really need that much Tupperware? We moved. We purged. We remodeled the kitchen, and I already have a big box of stuff to purge! I'm getting rid of doubles and things I don't use. Seriously we have an au gratin pan that we have used in 10 years. Out it goes.

    I put things I don't use that often in the corner cabinets but also have my plastic ware in the front of one of my corner cabinets. I cleaned out a bunch this past summer and already it has multiplied - time to purge again.

    Lots of smaller items is why you are feeling frustrated. Put only larger items in that corner and i'm sure you will feel a lot better.

    I agree with Angel18432. Use the corner cupboard for large items rarely used. I had my kitchen totally redone about 5 years ago & when I ordered the cabinets I ordered one very wide one with two wooden pullout drawers thinking they could be used for my pans. No way would they fit and my kitchen was very small.

    I put all of my spices in the top drawer & my pastas in the lower drawer. It is perfect for that use. I bought a very reasonably priced pot hanger to attach to one wall & have most of the pans & lids on that. We bought metal pullouts for almost every other cabinet. One over the fridge works great for large bowls. One in a smaller cabinet works for my tupper all stacked with the drawer above used for tupper lids.

    My favorite one is used under my sink on the left side with all smaller cleaning bottles. On the right side under the sink I have my garbage bags & dishwasher soap. I also ordered a pullout cabinet for trash & recycle bins. This is the only time I have ever had an organized kitchen. The kitchen this was replacing had 22 drawers in it & now with the new one I have an 18" wide drawer bank, one wide drawer for the silver & one narrow one for the tupper lids.

    It didn't occur to me to move the pots and pans out of the large drawer into the corner cupboard I think that will work....my husband just tosses all his tupperware in there and makes me crazy!! many "heated" moments over this cabinet!lol Thank you all for the great suggestions! I have looked at many storage systems but unable to find one that wouldn't bump up against the Heartland stove.

    What if you remove the lids, nest what can be nested and store the lids on top of the nests?
