An old kitchen made new, the innards

When you are living in a small space, over time you bring in more and more stuff. If nothing ever gets weeded out to make room for that new stuff, then you end up with cupboards and drawers that become an unmanageable mish-mash of everything.

And because stuff is stuffed everywhere, you can't count on finding or remembering that you already have 6 cans of diced tomatoes, which leads to buying 6 more cans and having to stuff those in somewhere. The open boxes of crackers and cereals get pushed to the back of the cupboard and long forgotten. You wonder where a bowl you use to have has gone to, but you know you'd have to take the whole kitchen apart to find it, so you give up in despair.







How do you fix this and stop it from happening again? You go back to the beginning...
