Bringing some refrigerator organization to you today because mine was in serious need of help….

Before:

We are about to start demo on our kitchen….in fact, there is a new fridge sitting out in our garage….but I decided this mess could not wait!  These items will have to be moved over to the new fridge, so they might as well be organized!  I cannot WAIT to have two functioning refrigerators, as space is tight here!!  Here are the steps I followed to get this space into shape!  

Step 1:

Take EVERYTHING out, yes everything!

Wipe down all surfaces in your fridge.  This will also force you to work quickly so items don’t spoil.

Step 2:

Sort and group all items.

There was no rhyme or reason in here before.  I found I had the same things in several spots, which is probably how I ended up with multiples I didn’t need in the first place!!  I threw away several things that were expired and grouped sauces, salad dressings, jelly, etc. so that I could find it all easily.  I use one of my drawers for fruit and veggies and the other for meats and cheeses.

Step 3:  

Use simple storage solutions.

Marie Kondo just came out with a beautiful line at The Container Store.  I grabbed several pieces to help me organize the fridge.  

I LOVE this egg holder and the double bottle holder.  Pretty and functional!

These containers come with bamboo lids that are airtight, making them perfect for food storage.  I also used this berry colander with draiage holes and an attached tray for strawberries and blueberries! 

I also grabbed these labels!

AFTER:

Clean and WAY more functional! 

It may sound crazy, but I feel much more calm opening the doors to my fridge now that everything has a place! 

This project took about an hour from start to finish.  I feel sure this refrigerator organization will save me time and money….and maybe a little of my sanity!
