Organizing the Kitchen and a Book Giveaway
Organization in a small house isn't a resolution, but more of a way of life. I try to spend at least 10–15 minutes each day organizing some part of the house, but main areas such as the kitchen need a good reorganizing at least a couple of times a year.
Last year, when Brette Sember's book, “The Organized Kitchen” came out, I got it and thought it was a great resource for anyone needing a little organizational help.
If your New Year resolution is to organize your home, particularly your kitchen, you’ll want this book, and Brette has generously offered to give one copy away to one of our lucky Living Large community.

I missed the contest but that's okay. I so behind on kitchen organizing that I'll just buy The Organized Kitchen. Sounds like just the advice that I need.
It's a very worthwhile book, Donna!
im building new home. i thought it was small until i read this.. 1300 sq ft. i have too much stuff !
Well, 1,300 sq. ft. is smaller than the national average. Our home in the city was 1,100 square feet and it was big for us.
I could definitely benefit from this book! Brette's books are a wealth of info.
I had you in the drawing, Merr. Yes, they're really good books!
I need this book — and soon! We'll be adding some badly needed shelves in our kitchen and require help with our chronic lack of organization.
You're in the drawing, Ruth, good luck!
Count me in too! I can always use organizational help.
You're in, Sheryl, good luck!
I could use some help in my kitchen. count me in
Gotcha, Susan. Good luck!
Oh my gosh! Why do I need this book? I am so disorganized that I can't even figure out how to clear my e-mail. My kitchen is so disorganized that I have seriously thought about knocking on neighbor's doors, who have the same floor plan, to ask if I could look in their cabinets.
You made me LOL, Melissa, now that is desperation!
pity…only in USA
looks like an interesting and helpful book!
Good luck everyone
Sorry, Robbie,
I would love any tips that help my kitchen feel more organized! It sounds like a great book — my kitchen is due for a thorough New year's cleaning!
I think most of us can say the same, Christine. Good luck!
A man had to of designed my kitchen because no woman in their right mind would have left out a pantry and ample room for pots and pans =x I would love to learn the secrets of making a not so fulfilling kitchen into a fulfilling one. Thanks! Katie
LOL, Katie. I say the same thing about hotel bathrooms without swing-out make-up mirrors because the other mirrors are always so far away with those huge counter tops!
Good luck!
I could certainly use that! I keep giving away extras to the Goodwill but STILL I have too much in the kitchen and not enough space. Argh!
Giving stuff away to charity is always good, I'm sure the book would help you organize the rest! Good luck!
