The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in any home, but when it is all cluttered it makes it much harder to actually be used as a functional space.

Not only will you feel better once this space is less junked up, you'll also save yourself time and energy as well.

That's because a clutter free kitchen makes life easier. Easier to cook, to eat and to clean.

There are several challenges within the 52 Week Organized Home Challenge that deal with this room of your house that I encourage you to read:

I've also created quite a few Declutter 365 missions that accompany these challenges, to help you get this area of your home more manageable, which are listed below.

Please note that along with the kitchen items listed below, to at least consider decluttering, there's usually also food stored in your kitchen, in both your pantry or cupboards, and in the refrigerator and freezer. You can find a round up of food storage related decluttering missions here.

Whether you've done these missions when I've scheduled them during the year, or any other time doesn't really matter to me. I just want to celebrate your success, so here's your chance to show off some before and after pictures when you've done one of the missions. If you're ready to share now click here to begin!
